Yupp. I approached it all wrong. I was way to blunt to someone I don't even "know". IT'S STILL FRUSTRATING THOUGH! But I did give an apology. I'm sure I'll be banned
It was just one girl and she turned around and was so snarky that someone said to just drop it. So I owned up to it and just said good luck. But I know what you mean about feeling like we can be so open and honest since we've been here. I need to check myself REAL quick. ha.
Well I was rude... and she was looking for help because she is 19 and her mom doesn't want to be a grandmother so young... So I was a bitch. I PMd the girl and everything. There's only 2 girls really fired up about it. I really DGAF!
@hijoi I knew it wasn't as bad as that girl took it! But still lol. I don't have big enough balls to talk that way anyway. Who do I think I am?? @reindencajun ???? ahah.
Eh, brush it off. I occasionally post on March '14 and people are so freaking touchy over there. Everyone is all "can't we all just get along" when we all know that it's not reality. I think this is just a phase that every BMB goes through before people become real "friends". FWIW, I don't think you we're overly rude or out of line. Toughen up, ladies!

You were nice enough to reply with useful advice IMO. I wouldnt have taken her seriously either. But I'm not one to be snarky about it so I wouldn't have replied at all.
"Why are there so many people who feel entitled to call people out and belittle others in this group? It is really sad, especially when there is no reason for it. We are all here because we are growing a life inside of us, let's embrace our similarities and differences and pratice the golden rule. Aka, just be nice Much love mamas. I wish everyone the best over the next 9 months and beyond! (Haha, Toy Story is on TV right now)"
Did you see her most recent response on the "Kindness" thread??
"Haha oh Mama Owl, I am not too worried about hormonal women making snarky comments towards me or my opinions. I just think it's sad when people get attacked for trivial things (who are only seeking support). Not sure that has anything to do with needing to grow "thicker" skin, it simply means that I have a bit of empathy for my fellow brothers and sisters on this planet.. That is great that you have been using this site for so long, maybe you will see a few positive changes during your tenure. Wishing you nothing but love and happiness! "
for real. (and i love that the user history function allowed me to find this post in the first place!) i just hope it doesn't take too long for the wounded baby bird personalities to toughen up.

That was not mean. You were honest and made a suggestion. Those ladies need to get some thicker skin. I guess these ladies expect TB to be all glitter farts and rainbows.
@ellewills618 , @spasticfantastic, @aylafsu88 . I'm sure they are just try to make me the sacrificial lamb to make a point. But at the point, they are being way worse than I was. But of course don't even see it because they think they are just being nice. I'm sure I could apologize a million times and someones still going to have a problem. Can't win them all! But I appreciate the support! See you ladies in April 2014!
@breezyblueyez I'm sure you guys don't want to hear about my annoying pregnancy stuff! haha. But thank you! I wouldn't just leave J12 anyway, I love you guys too much!
LOL - it seems to me that they haven't had any real drama on their board yet. Your first line made me laugh - seriously someone had to tell her to stop with the run on sentences. Yikes - that crap drives me crazy too...!
