I'm honestly shocked at all the hate posts around here. This is the nicest board I've ever been on. It's even taming me a bit.

Is it sad those posts just make me wanna be meaner?

MissRdotS · August 2013

The ironic thing is that the GBCB posts tend to be even more rude than the posts they are referencing... just saying.

And I mean, I was forced at gunpoint to join TB, and am handcuffed to my computer at all times, so there's no way I could ever leave or find another group. Because they don't exist - right?

Correct.

People think it's as easy as closing the browser or joining BabyCenter, but it's not!

I just had to stop myself from being "mean" about someone's UO post. A) it wasnt a UO and there were a bunch of ignorant things in the post that really irked me

I would've at least called them out that it wasn't a UO haha

Me too!! Wonder if it was the same one?

CaliCarly77 · August 2013

Good grief, this is the NICEST board I have ever been on. If you want mean, visit the Vegas Knottie Board circa 2007 - holy crap! I was in TEARS the day I posted my intro! They told me my husband to be wasn't serious and probably leading me on, then accused me of being a vendor...like really weird sh1t. Though I am still bffs with two of the girls I met on there and we travel to meet for a girls' trip once a year

"pregnant women who have no idea what is bad for them"

Yep that's the one! I think the poster also said this board consists of women with hormones and rage so...maybe our desire to be "mean" about her UO post is justified

tesskerr · August 2013

I feel sorry for your husbands and future children.

Cdnsunshine · August 2013

I am actually shocked at how mean people can be on here too! I'm just saying who cares why a person capitalized the word gender! No need to get all huffy about it! This is a happy time for everyone or its supposed to be and half the time I don't even feel like reading the posts because of how mean people are! Lighten up ladies... Where's the love at haha

I think you need to re-read this thread....no one (besides you) were serious about everyone being "so mean" here.

Cdnsunshine · August 2013

Maybe it was a joke... And maybe it's the sensitive hormones kicking in... But I've actually found some posts that make me re read them.

Just because I am pregnant it does not mean my brain turns off from all other areas of life. Spelling and grammar gives someone a distinct impression of you. If your post is riddled with errors, I will make assumptions about you that may or may not be true. If you don't feel like reading the posts then don't read them. Surely no one is forcing you to. If you want glitter unicorns and rainbows, Babygaga will blow that all over the place. The Bump is not known for an excess of false optimism. The Bump is known for realism and knowledge. Sometimes that hurts. Certainly this website is not for everyone.

Cdnsunshine · August 2013

Haha wow. Point proven!

sugarland726 · August 2013

Cdnsunshine said:

Is that directed at me? I took the time to explain to you why things operate the way they do. If that doesn't work for you then leave. Nowhere in my post was I mean to you. Maybe The Bump is just too frank for you. The door is open for you to leave.

Cdnsunshine · August 2013

I know "why" things operate as they do. And yes I do love the frankness of the bump and how openly people can talk about things! I've never disagreed with that once! I also didn't say people were too frank... I just said that there were some comments I read... And not directed toward me... That were a little mean! No one is expecting you to turn off your brain because you're pregnant (even if you weren't) but you also need to recognize not everyone on here comes from the same walks of life, and maybe they are not as well educated as some. So, although correcting peoples grammar might feel necessary to you... does it really need to be talked about?! The bump is known for realism and sharing stories worries concerns... whatever... it is not a grammar lesson...so why can't we all just be a little nicer to each other and not worry about crap like this...Just saying.

Winnieella · August 2013

I feel like I missed something while at work...I'm off to try to get caught up.

alinafed · August 2013

There are no posts that are as dramatic and "mean" as the GBCB posts. You might as well whistle into the wind as try to convince people who find support on the Bump that it's super cruel. Does provide great entertainment though

ashleywiz · August 2013

@MrsJWoodsJr, I THINK this was initially just a joke jab at all of the people who were legit posting "you're mean" posts... at least that's how I took it.

Posting a "you're mean" post is just ridiculously unnecessary. So what if people say things you don't like... hell, I say things I know people won't like and expect nothing less from everyone else. How could I be so cruel and heartless, you sensitive people ask? When someone asks for advice or opinions, I'm going to be TRUE to myself, period. If someone calls you out on grammar, it's because you are an ADULT, you obviously made it through some sort of schooling...and if I remember correctly, it's ELEMENTARY school where you learn the basics- so if you're an adult, you have 100% learned it, it isn't our fault you failed to remember it. Think about your words... you don't need higher education to do that.

In any case-- I thought this was a joke post and I was actually going to write... "Yeah, buncha pregnant bitches up in here, speaking their mind and stuff...who do they think they are?!" ...but then some peeps got serious. Eesh.

Winnieella · August 2013

@ashleywiz Thank you so much for clearing things up. I couldn't find all the posts and threads and was confused.

jhunter89 · August 2013

I'm a little late to the party but i'll throw in my two cents

The bump takes some getting used to and for the sweet love of Pete, stop blaming everything on pregnancy hormones. You will get flamed from time to time, you will get responses you don't like. You will get corrected and called out when appropriate. You will also get amazing support if you stick around and contribute enough. Take some time, learn the ropes, don't be stupid /ignorant /inflammatory and you'll see how awesome it can be.

Actually most of them say "your mean". Get it right.

ashleywiz · August 2013

@mrsjenni

Dammit! There I go, being grammatically correct again....

:-B

mrsjenni · August 2013

@ashleywiz - It was actually painful for me to even type it that way on purpose.

waterlily2k2 · August 2013

Lmao! You guys crack me up.

rowanthefrog · August 2013

1st of all, I said y'all. For the record, that is how it is punctuated...for you non-Southerners of the board.

2nd of all, I WAS joking

Glad at least most of you got it.

DallasX · August 2013

Everyone seems to well up for the realism and frankness until someone says they're being bitchy. Bit of a double standard. And yes, I realise this was started as a joke! I actually like the frankness and the bitchiness, it's informing, entertaining and more realisitic.

bethughknee · August 2013

The grammar thing: Maybe it is a petty thing to care about, but it's almost impossible to decipher what some people mean when they write post after post after post that is rife with run on sentences and incorrect uses of words. I know mobile bumping and feeling emotional can mess with sentence structure, but seriously. Some of us have pregnant brain and are barely hanging on to the knowledge that the stove is still on. I don't have the energy to wade through your terrible concept of the English language and try to figure out what it is you actually want advice on. I mostly feel this way toward repeat offenders who then defend their right to be confusing. (End rant)

Also, I really dig this group. And all the GIFs.

aprilbridezilla19 · August 2013

I thought this was a fake drama post. Not a real GBCN. I must be insensitive.

ETA: yay! I'm glad I was right. Lol. It's too early. Where's my coffee?

bethughknee · August 2013

@aprilbridezilla09 Sorry to stray off "topic" but I love when siggys like yours say you are 5,839 weeks pregnant. I always try to picture what it would be like to gestate a toddler. I don't mean for that to come off like I'm saying you don't know how to use the site, because my signature NEVER aligns the way I want it. It's just so funny.
