Facebook Group

Tbecker18101 · November 2012

Hey ladies not sure if any of you regular facebookers would be interested or not. Last year yea 2011 my September birth month group created a private group and those who wanted to were invited to join. There are about 30 of us and we have stayed in touch and continue to do so. We share about our babies that were all born in and around September. We talk about family things our other kids etc. it's not just centered on the September babies. If anyone is interested just let me know and I can make us one.

This has been brought up several times, and so far the consensus has been that people are not ready to join a Facebook group. I think it was decided that the masses would prefer to wait until third tri when we are no longer losing people and the core group of posters is established and knows each other better.

I still feel this way about it, but of the consensus has changed, whatevs. I am not interested in joining until later.

I 100% agree with this. I will be interested in joining when we are all further along and we all know each other better. I hesitate giving out personal information like that until I feel like I *know* the people on here. There are definitely a number of posters I recognize and identify with, but I'm not to the point where I want to FB people yet. End of second tri/beginning of third, IMO, is a reasonable time to go about starting a group.

I'd be interested whenever everyone is ready.

littlenugget613 · November 2012

I'll join whenever. Now or later, makes no difference to me.

JaimeCH · November 2012

I'm interested, but want more time to weed out the crazies.

This.

OP -- I've got a Sept. ' 11 babe too -- but wasn't active enough in the FB group -- I kick myself for that!

I'm not going anywhere!

ckettenb · November 2012

I'm in whenever too (but later might be better). I'm still in a FB group with my Sept 2010 mamas. I PPH them.

FB is just a way easier format for me to deal with.

I have one too but left the board bc the chick who is now the mod was just ridiculous and left the fb group when everyone started encouraging everyone else to CIO at like 3 months.

Like a pp said, more time to weed out the crazies.

I agreed with all of this! I am interested, but talk to me more near February.

brittnicole2011 · November 2012

I would join!

Kteen2008 · November 2012

I would love to join whenever the time comes! I wasn't very active on my last birth board for DS so I hope this time around I get to know everyone!

HisPromisIsTrue · November 2012

As long as it Is a secret group, I am in

.

AmyChristine15 · November 2012

Yup, I think we should wait a while. I'm in a secret July 2011 mom FB group that I frequent daily. Love those girls! But I kinda want to wait until some of these Bumpies go their own ways.

babymamamama · November 2012

Yes please to a secret group!

daisy19782011 · November 2012

When it starts, I would love to be a part!

Luthy · November 2012

I'd love to join a little farther in. I do agree it's a little too early. With my previous pregnancy we started it up right away and there were toooo many crazies.

ckettenb · November 2012

FWIW - plenty of crazies will appear AFTER the FB group is created. TRUST ME! People you thought were lovely - BAM. Crazified on the facebook.

kread8 · November 2012

IrishCoffee7:

Not interested for all the reasons mentioned. I'd rather this board stay active since I can't FB at work. And FB groups kill boards, true story.

So, a vote for no. Not that y'all can't make one whenever you want. Just might start out small.

This is my fear too... I can't easily FB at work (can only do it on my phone) so I also still want this board to stay active.

Same here.

ladybugpjb · November 2012

Just wondering...for those who have other BMB FB groups, do you kick people out if they are not active?

I'm in the original one for DS's BMB (we had major drama and a split (or more) awhile back), and every once in awhile, someone points out that we have soooo many members, but not everyone participates. The mods are too nice to kick off the non-posters - I'm not even talking about lurkers, just the members who don't even look at the board.

I *might* join if there were ground rules about lurking. It makes me uncomfortable if there is not an equal sharing of information.

Honest truth here. We found out after the kids were born in 2010 that half the people we thought we knew and trusted were all fakes and frauds. We are still finding this out. It's quite sad really. You just don't know anymore

I feel the same, but come March-ish I'll be in.

KentuckyKate · November 2012

I don't want one. We share advice and experiences here already, so what's the use? This board already has over 300 moms on it, and though I recognize the most active posters, I don't "know" anyone enough to allow that kind of access to my personal life. There's a lot you can do with a full name, pictures, and basic details. Catfish, anyone? Plus, this board is crazy active, and if we've learned anything from previous BMB's, FB groups kill the boards. Why fix something that's not broken?

VeeAmarie · November 2012

I would be ok with one, just not yet.

I love me some drama and some crazies...however not when they have access to my semi personal information! I'd like to weed some of the craycrays out before joining or starting it!

I had a Google group with a bunch of my local friends from TK and we all still keep in touch which is awesome! But even we had to deal with a crazy in our initial group, and while she wasn't malicious...it was still best when we were not friends on FB any longer!

To the PP that brought up catfish...OMG, I am loving that show even though its kind of sad, I still am so intrigued by the reasons people do what they do and go the extent they will go!

joshysgirl1220 · November 2012

I'm ready whenever the group is created : I think it's a great idea

Meemaleema · November 2012

I'm in... People can always leave if they need/want. How will we know when it starts? If this is something that drives you, don't let others change your mind.

Now it's gonna kill me trying to guess who you are LOL. I'm in TB's July '11 FB group too.

I love that group. And the friends I've made. Agreed, it is kind of early for one to officially start. I think the July '11 one was created around the 20ish week mark for most. That way most of the crazies are weeded out, we know each other better, but it's not so late in the pregnancy.
