But what are you girls doing posting on First Tri, 3-6 months, etc. mocking other girl's posts?
MissMusic- I am sorry, I really do love you a lot. You are one of my favs. This is not directed at you, you just reminded me how much this is happening lately. (there was a post the other night, i forget which one)
We all prided ourselves on unicorns and rainbows a couple months ago. Now we are just being Mean Girls x 10.
I think its ok to secretly laugh at these posts, but I don't think its right to go over and make fun of the people when we aren't even on that board.
Please don't shun me. lol.

**I have no idea what is going on on the other boards, I don't lurk on them, this is just a general statement**
Nobody is perfect.

I'm having lots of Holiday, that part is true LOL. Enough of my mom already! Heading home tomorrow, thank God! I've been around on mobile; just haven't posted much because I've been a little turned off by the nastiness. Not gone... just taking a little Bump Breather, I guess.
Well I can relate to that, considering I've been stuffing my face the last three days as if I'm planning never to eat in 2013.
I really agree. It was fine when we had "dumb" questions and needed to come to our own boards to freak out in a safe place where others were going through what we were...but now it's almost like there's something that started as funny but got mean really fast. If people don't want "sunshine and rainbows" that's fine...but what is the point of being so mean to people who want to get something off their chest?
I also remember so many times thinking how level-headed and there for each other that the July 12 group was...and how the other boards seemed to devolve into people poking fun at each other at the slightest opportunity. I've been on this board ever since I was sure I was pregnant and I love having you guys to ask questions to but there's a point when funny *is* just mean.
(I agree that some people on other boards say things that are just downright silly but it doesn't need to evolve into this whole 100 reply thing of "I know you are but what am I??" style bickering...you know?)
This.
I understand calling someone on it when they are being idiotic, but sometimes I think we cross the line between that and seeing how mean we can be in the name of "humor."
And I absolutely love all of you too, so please don't shun me either!
GG since when are you the board police? Come on!

The silliness and nothing much more has made me lose some interest in the board. It just seems like the same 5 people posting the same silly crap over and over. Look, how many "call out a bumpie!" Threads do we really need? It's fine if that's where this is going but, for me, it's very much a "the joke is funny the first time but not so much when it's repeated ad nauseum." I pretty much try to stick to the actual baby threads but those have been light lately so I've been more active on MM Moms on the GBCN offboard...
I can't bold things... Second paragraph. Thumbs up.
As much as some people post it seems it is real life to them. Or at least the only life they have.
I think the point is that being a decent person should be more important than trying to be a biitch unnecessarily...in real life and on the Internet.

Here we go again...IVF 3 is underway!
What happens online affects people's real lives sometimes. The support people get... the hurt they feel... from online communities can be very real. Not to say that everyone needs to be supported regardless of what they spew, but maybe we can laugh at people if they need to be laughed at in a way that does not make them feel crap about themselves.
As i was thinking more about this... We say "life isn't all puppies and rainbows, etc. Get real".
Well why do you think we come to these kind of boards? To escape real life. Real life has sucked for me lately. Why would I want more drama and negativity?
I apologized to Katie in my very first comment, saying I realized I was being snarky but it was coming from jealousy. I also apologized in several following comments, and explained my feelings and comments. They weren't made out of sheer biitchiness or just for the sake of making fun of her, which is what GG is talking about here.
He actually just got to leave the hospital a couple hours ago! They are all sooooo relieved to have him home. Thanks for asking and all the t and ps!
puppies
Mmmm rainbows
For that.
Also, I enjoy the pups karm. Keep up the good work!
I can't get mad when you call a
Spade a spade.
I've missed you Sally! I don't post a whole lot but I read a lot of the posts while I'm feeding LO and I've been around here for at least a year now.
Delight.
