FB page?

dawnj08 · July 2013

What happened to it? I cannot find it anymore on my Facebook. I click on Maddie Bump but there is nothing

Nodoubtvw · July 2013

It is hidden because they didn't want anymore people added. Trust me, It's all drama there. But i'm sure that there will be more response that will make you decide that for yourself. :

dawnj08 · July 2013

Oh no. That's a shame to hear. I'd already been added but then one day couldn't get on. Must've been unfriended? That's a bummer but oh well. Just liked to get the opinions and advice from other mamas and it seems like this page has cooled off a lot. Guess ill be googling lol

Yeah, I check it a lot so ask away!

Way to much drama on FB. I am sort of glad they kicked me out. I mostly lurk since I went back to work and LO is STTN, but I like checking out what's going on. And I post if I can contribute. : Let's keep our board alive!

dawnj08 · July 2013

Yea I'm glad to hear some of us ladies are still here! I had a sleep/feeding question but I think I've since resolved it....guess I will know after we get through the night lol. Stay tuned.....

5dogs · July 2013

lol at the Facebook drama. The "big" FB group is still going strong but has always been private since it was started before most of us were out of the closet to our friends/families/etc.

VPGIRL06 · July 2013

I left the group because some of the girls got pretty snarky/catty, and I'd rather not waste my time. i'm still on here, and it looks like some people are coming back (as they hit the 4 month wakeful.....misery loves company LOL!)

Mom987 · August 2013

I just left the big secret Due in March 2013 group with about 310 members because they were getting to be super mean. I do miss being in the group and would like to be in some type of group, but hate the attitudes.

wittyschaffy · August 2013

I just left for the same reason.

smfdjo · August 2013

I think there are multiple groups because the FB group has only 82 members. But just wanted to let you know I still check here too.

dawnj08 · August 2013

Wow. Why all the drama there? That's so unfortunate

wittyschaffy · August 2013

Yes, there are 2. One is pretty big - 300 some folks I think and the other got started later and is smaller. I don't know why there was so much stuff going on all the sudden. It could have just been a matter of my tolerance for it too and to other folks, it was fine. Just decided it was best to remove myself from it. No hard feelings for anyone who still checks in. ;-)

dancy8657 · August 2013

I think it all stems from the fact that people don't know how to handle debates IMHO.

Mom987 · August 2013

They started to hang up on people so if someone didn't like something then all of a sudden 10 of them were all over us. That was my experience. I loved it the first year though. I do miss it.

Mom987 · August 2013

Gang up*

Mom987 · August 2013

And there were at least 3 others than I know of that left the same weekend.

Nodoubtvw · August 2013

If

covertxxamour · August 2013

Our Facebook group is awesome. The only thing we don't tolerate is calling someone else a C U Next Tuesday!

Nodoubtvw · August 2013

I call it like I see it.

covertxxamour · August 2013

True dat!

ninambutler · August 2013

LMAO @ covertxxamour

Mom987 · August 2013

Are newcomers allowed? I was in the huge group and left, so I'm looking to join a new one if I can.

You will have the same experience with the other group.

Mom987 · August 2013

Ok thanks anyway.

Nodoubtvw · August 2013

Maybe they'll let you in and you can see. There are a lot of ladies in there that are great that I still talk to.

covertxxamour · August 2013

Mom987- I will send you a PM tomorrow! I'm not sure why she's trying to sugarcoat it-- we had our differences, she started name calling, we kicked her out. The group has not had any drama since she left. It's a great group to be apart of. We have our debates, but all on an adult level.

Nodoubtvw · August 2013

How is that sugar coating anything? I left my opinion about the fb page, and I clearly wasn't alone. I still talk to several of the ladies from it...sugar coating? Nope.

You're insane, your past posts prove that.

This was my experience with the group I belonged to from the March Board. I joined when they decided to make it private, and after maybe a Month or so a few of then started being super catty because they didn't like me posting about a certain issue (which I admit I over posted about just because it really was bugging me). I also saw alot of girls get pretty aggressive during U O Thursday and FFFC

It was so immature and catty that I quit right away. Alot of the girls were fine but it's not worth my time to wonder if I'm going to get flamed for posting something

almachs0786 · August 2013

NoDoubt got kicked out because she called another member a "cunt" on the page, but then proceeded to PM that member and repeatedly call her the same. I don't remember what the debate was about, but I believe it had something to do with people being concerned about safety. I think dobro e posted a pic of their child sitting in a bumbo on a counter & several if us got concerned. We made the group private because it was growing rapidly and several members were getting concerned about privacy and talked about leaving. When that was said, some of the new members took offense to it & left the group. Although the group is for support, everyone has different styles of parenting & there are bound to be debates. Some can't handle that & 1or 2 have left for that reason. The group is fantastic & for the most part is drama free. When something controversial is brought up, there's controversy. But that's everywhere.
Dawnj08 if you were kicked out accidentally I'm sorry! We had posted requesting everyone's bump name to be sure we were all Bumpies... I don't remember seeing yours when I did it, but may have been a mistake. I apologize if it was!

If you think our UOs and FFFCs get "catty," you must not go much further than this board...our BMB is just boring/tame, that's how other boards are every week!

Thanks covertxxamour! I would love to be a part of the group if I can.

dawnj08 · August 2013

Alma- I remember seeing the request for bumpie names and responded from my phone so it might not have gotten through

sometimes my smart phone isn't very smart lol.

Lol I guess this is just where different personalities come up. Personally, I enjoyed FFFC and U O Thursday because i would sometimes see interesting different POV or peopl admitting things i had done but wouldn't admit! I never thought it was boring but It does seem like other mamas like these special posts for the controversy they bring up. BUT for what it's worth I said the posts got aggressive, not catty-I don't remember seeing any FFFF or UO Thursday posts that were catty or immature just people who were far more opinionated and vocal then I am LOL. What happened with me was catty and immature, which is why I left.

And no I only really go to this board and whatever age group my LO is at the time. I wouldn't know how other momth boards do FFFC and UO Thursday

Yes, it kind of sucked that I have been on this BMB since my BFP and when I tried to be a part of the Facebook group so I could still talk to other moms when this board got slow, that the first few days, a few of the ladies just complained that we had joined. And because we were new, we were liking old photos and catching up on posts that screwed with the feed for a couple of days. For some in the FB group, that seemed to be really upsetting. We were just trying to catch up, and instead, were inadvertently annoying people. That was annoying. I get wanting to be careful about privacy, but we had given our bump names and said we had long been on the BMB. Anyways, I just wanted to talk with other moms going through similar experiences, not trying to be a part of some "exclusive" club. So the BMB works better for me anyways. I'm sure things have settled down quite a bit in the FB group. It just wasn't for me.

Yeah, I vaguely remember people talking about new people coming in. I never cared if new people joined because you were all probably really nice. I contacted the December 2010 board for my first son and they weren't welcoming at all.

almachs0786 · August 2013

DawnJ08 I would be happy to re-add you if you want. Sorry!

almachs0786 · August 2013

And for the record, no one was complaining that new ppl were joining. People were more complaining that somehow people who aren't from our BMB were somehow finding and joining our board, which was getting people concerned about privacy & safety. With the exception of a few, all the "newbies" are still there. . But can you imagine waking up with 47 notifications where someone went through and liked every picture and comment you posted for 3ish months? Yes, that's how many I had one morning.

dawnj08 · August 2013

No worries! Managing a large page I'm sure is overwhelming. If you're able to then I'd appreciate it. It was nice seeing how other mommies were handling things I had questions about.

I just know the 300+ group was where people were talking about newcomers, don't know anything about this other group.
