August 2013 Moms

Is Facebook stealing all my August friends?

The board seems slow. Did the Facebook group steal most of the August moms? I hope not or else I'm going to be pretty board the next 8.5 months.

ETA: I spelled "bored" wrong, but I think it's kind of funny in it's context, so I'm leaving it.

  • Friends and family can't see you're a part of that group and can't see posts you make because it is a closed group.

  • I do both, but always like the FB groups better because I get to know people better that way. The bump website itself is always slow, with FB I know when somebody comments on one of my quesions, replies to me, etc.

  • Can someone please share the FB group?

  • I also did not know there was a facebook group! I liked the chat room thing last night, as it was a chance to get to know everyone better, but I foolishly used a different user name. Anyway does anyone have the link or is it just August 2013?

    That's encouraging! LOL maybe it's just the upcoming holidays or something.

  • I find it weird the mass migration to facebook this early on when no one knows each other.  While I agree  you get to know people on a more personal level better on Facebook groups, it's helpful to have an understanding of who they are from The Bump first. Facebook tends to have one liner responses while you can actually compose a message here. 

    Andplusalso  At least for now on TB I can not have all the annoying 1st Tri posts shoved in my face. Though i guess it's good you're all venting it out on FB so I don't have to read them...

    This post is so full of win! Starting this early sounds like a recipe for stalking. The 1st Tri posts do get monotonous, but I try to remember that I was there once. It works about half the time, the other half I'm rolling my eyes.

    If TB mobile would stop eating my punctuation and making me sound like I have no sense, Id consider making it my first wife.
