Stabby Saturday

The AW/SS are getting annoying. So now I am going to their threads "it's a ...." Or what do you think of the name..." And commenting that there is a sticky thread dedicated just to this and maybe they should use that instead. I have missed so much because everything keeps getting lost b/c THEIR announcement needs a separate post.

Re: Stabby Saturday

  • I was thinking of doing the same thing lol but I figured I'd get a lot of grief about it especially since I've only been on TB a month. I'm practicing biting my tongue :)

    So, GET 'EM!

  • My boss is being a jerk and ruined my day yesterday and it's carrying over today. I don't want to think about work this weekend.

    Also, I told HR I won't be returning after baby. So many mixed emotions and my SO does not get it. So stabby.

  • I would like to stab my groin except it feels like someone already did! I have a pulled a muscle there being an inanimate cow on the couch.

  • Oh, and I feel like the baby name posts are the worst since there is a name board AND a permanent thread. However, I feel like the permanent thread isn't really a good place for discussing options, just posting final decisions. So really my thought is, go to the names board. My time on TB has made me crotchety about some things and "meh" about others.

  • My boyfriend is making me stabby. He's SO judgemental. We're out doing some last minute Christmas shopping and he has something to say about everyone. Random guy walking down the road "wtf is that guy doing? What he doesn't have a car?" So I give him 3 reasons said guy might be walking down the road and what he might be doing. Shopping and a guy has a big box of Christmas ornaments, "wtf that guy hasn't decorated his tree yet?" So I give 3 reasons why that guy might be buying ornaments, to which he replies if any if those were accurate this guy would have already bought the ornaments...so I give him another few reasons why he might not have bought anything yet. Then he tells me the guy should just wait til after Christmas and buy them on sale. Really?! Does it really matter to you so much what random strangers are doing?! Jeeze.

    Amen to those posts. And the headache threads are really annoying me. I've seen like 10 headache threads. Yes, we are getting headaches! Also- don't get me started on the baby name ones.

    ETA: one more thing: I wish everyone who doesn't have one would get some kind of picture. I can't stand the ones The Bump gives and I get tired of seeing it.

    I'm strictly mobile and someone told me how to upload a picture when I asked how from mobile and its not hard at all. I hated TBs assigned photos and wanted one that was all my own. I can help anyone on mobile to figure it out if they can't, so theres no excuses. :)

    And that'll be my good deed for the weekend.

    Also, my stabby is that I've never liked my birthday since I turned 7yrs old, and DH says its different now because he'll make them all good experiences from here on out and I believe him and love him soo much for his extra efforts but I'm still not as excited as I should be about it being my birthday tomorrow and its ruining my Saturday thinking about it and therefore I'm super friggin' irritable. Ughhh. That's all.
  • Also, can we fast forward to Tuesday evening?

    My husband didn't even get me a card for my birthday and my feelings are still hurt. I hate having a December birthday.

  • I'll second that fast forward.

    @Mommy23Munchkins - I'm primarily mobile and would love to know how to change my picture!

    Although I agree with you guys about the redundancy of some threads you can't expect everyone to have read every single thread that's posted on here either. I don't have time to go on the board during weekdays while I'm at work and I sure as hell don't want to read 10 pages of the UO and FFFC at night to figure out who is annoyed by what. So, let's all have a little patience and just ignore the stuff you don't want to read?

    The issue is that they clog up the board so much that we miss a lot of posts that get bumped to page 2 or 3 because there are 7 "AW: It's a..." posts on the main page.


    It's hard to 'skip what you don't want to read' when all the other posts have been bumped because of all the AWs.

    I've checked the sticky thread and it's not just for announcing final decisions- there have been name discussions going on there.
    Seriously. There is a whole forum for names and a sticky thread here. Not that hard to post in the appropriate place.

    On your browser go to thebump.com and go to "my account" at the top right. Then on the left it will say "change my avatar", click it. Then upload a photo from your gallery. It'll take a few minutes on the app to show up and it'll be changed. :)

    Good deed? Check!

    I'm not expecting anything. He kept asking what I wanted and my best response was you've bought me a new cell phone and a 2000 Dodge Durango, I don't need anything else. But he still wanted to know what I wanted so i just shrug my shoulders and say I don't know. I guess I am a scrooge about my birthday. I haven't celebrated or acknowledged it since I was 7, why start now?

    Okay, yeah, I'm definitely a birthday Scrooge.

  • I agree with the baby names and sex announcement posts! Those do get annoying.. But some other ones where people ask about certain symptoms, etc.. I can see how those get repeated.

    On a side note, in the Doppler thread I asked where everyone has bought theirs since so many of you seem to have one and no one really responded - so I'm stab by about that!

    You're welcome.

    Also, @emilyh107 I don't think you're being stabby. I agree. If there was one main post, people can read the comments and quote the ones in a comment that they relate too. Saves everyone from 25 posts about the same symptoms and might even help some make friends here on TB. So see how thoughtful you're being? GO YOU :)

    Some of us are new to TB and legit didn't know that there were specific recurring posts about specific issues. I think posting a heads up is a nice way of correcting bx vs an outright shaming for being new/not knowing.
    That's why we suggest lurking and getting a vibe for boards before jumping in head first.  Also, you might want to consider starting a new account with a different username.  You set yourself up for a lot of spam mail when your username = your email.

  • I'm feeling stabby about the girl sitting across from me on the train. I was being polite and keeping my feet back doesn't mean you get to slouch and stick yours out so they are touching. I want more feet room!!

  • I feel less stabby about my birthday because DH is super excited for it. Hes dying of anticipation because he brought my gifts home all wrapped from his sisters house and now hes excited for tomorrow. Can't be a birthday scrooge when DH is excited. Lol. Hes too friggin awesome and always makes a big fuss over holidays for me and the kids lol and an even bigger fuss over birthdays lol. So no more stabby about my birthday. Stabbies remain about clutter posts. :)

    @Laurelyn2012 ; step on her toes. That ought to teach her about personal space :)
  • I completely agree about all the "it's a ..." and name threads. Last night, the entire first page was these so when I got home, I couldn't find anything else. I know everyone is excited, but seriously, just post it in the sticky thread! This has made me stabby for days!

    I don't like that people are using the sticky "name and sex" thread to say "we don't know what we're having yet...but here's a list of 15 boy and girl names we're thinking about."  I think you should wait to post until you know what you're having and have made a decision.



    I agree with this, which is why I'm waiting to even post on that thread. I thought the whole point of that thread was for when you definitely know, but maybe I'm wrong. It's 5 pages long, and I guarantee there aren't enough people who know to make 5 pages of posts. Makes me stabby lol.

  • I'm stabby because I live in Ukraine.  And I can't explain any of the things that make me feel stabby because I'm a diplomat (and that wouldn't be very diplomatic).  And THAT???  That also makes me stabby.
  • I really really want a dairy queen blizzard (legit first craving I HAVE to have) so I convinced DH to drive 15 minutes out of the way and they were closed!!!! And then someone happened to post on fb about going to dq and it made me insanely jealous :(
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • If you got rid of all the AW posts, the symptoms posts and the name posts there would be very little left. I mean really, what else is there to pregnancy? That's pretty much why I don't post much anymore.

    I personally get stabby about anything food related in any of these threads. If people don't care about the sex of my baby on a pregnancy board, they sure the hell don't care about what I ate/didn't eat/ate too much of.

  • I am stabby at myself today. I have a lot of crap to do before hosting Christmas and I did about, eh 10% of it this morning. I don't feel well and I have no motivation and despite the fact that I'm trying to up my calories I have 1) no appetite and 2) am STILL losing freaking weight. I'm supposed to gain 10 lbs by end of 1st tri and I've lost 10 and I'm nervous.

    I also agree that the AW posts are too much. Random drive bys who swing in just to say "omgz I have such and such symptom going on, anyone else?!?!" drive me nuts. You're not a special snowflake who needs their very own post to complain. Use the DAILY symptom check-in.

    The multiple posts honestly don't bother me, I just read the subject line and skip them.

    But if we really do want to get people to post in one big thread, I think people who respond to a specific question really need to tag the person they're responding to (not just quote) so that relevant responses are easy to find. That's the reason I'd want my own thread for my question, so that I didn't have to skim through other questions and their responses (which I feel takes longer than just skipping thread titles on the main board. But maybe that's just me.

    My stabby is the same as the first part of @katekat8721's (hope that tag works with the apostrophe!). I have so much to do and I just don't want to do any of it :( I made a long list last night and I did one and a half things on it. And now I'm bumping in bed about to take a nap. :(

    seriously, I thought I wasn't going to be as exhausted in the second trimester? Granted I'm just barely 13 weeks, but still. I slept in today, got up and went to the grocery store and now I need a nap. This is ridiculous!

  • I'm stabby that I'm exhausted and can't seem to catch a break. My h gets to dissappear for hours in the afternoon and comes home and doesn't want to help with ds but tells me to go get my nails done and hair done. I honestly would rather take a nap. Yes I look like shit. I am busy running around trying to take care of my son, clean my house, work full time and grow a human- excuse me if my hair isn't completely straight and my nails not manicured! Shit. So when I disappear to take a nap instead of go do those things.. He brings the baby up and tells me the baby wants me.

    So you're saying I need to wait until May or June to decide on names? Also, not everyone will find out yet. At most people are 17 weeks along and even that is early to find out, but it's not unreasonable that those due later in the month want to partiipate too. Lastly, that thread is also geared for name discussions, so those people might just want feedback.

    What really made me stabby is the person who commented on the sticky thread that she had made her own new thread. Ok we get it, you're a special snowflake!

  • K I'm pissed and I need a safe space to vent..talk about a shabby freaking Saturday! Just had to Skype with my husbands mom's fam because they r all doing Christmas stuff today..

    Major drama/bad relationship with them until recently when they found out we r pregnant- now it's non stop contact from one sister and MIL..
    So we Skype, I didn't kno we were doing it right then and was in the middle of eating a Popsicle (helps with nauseau)..so they make fun me, asking if I eat all the time- I am BY FAR the thinnest person in their fam and have lost 10lbs since getting pregnant, so SUCK IT!

    However, not a single person asked how we were feeling, how I'm doing, if we r excited etc because his massive B of an older sister was there and she hasn't gotten pregnant yet- what the heck?! So secret calls n texts 24/7 r fine as long as she doesn't kno??? I'm sick of accommodating her and just feel like my Sat was ruined.

    Does anyone else have in law probs that have changed since getting pregnant? Or dealing with siblings that r awful to begin with and now even more so cause you are pregnant? Sry, I have several friend who are struggling/have struggled with IF and can completely empathize with them- it's been a blessing to walk alongside them thru that process and b there for him- but my SIL is another story at this point.
  • Now I'm even more stabby that stabby keeps autocorrecting on my phone to shabby and I had two typos in my other post- sorry everyone!
  • I am stabby that I spent hours cleaning the floors yesterday, including scrubbing the grout with a toothbrush. Today there are muddy paw prints all over the house, greek yogurt sprayed around the high chair, and apparently nobody else living in the house who knows how to freaking take care of it.
