My name is Jana. Formerly of babycenter.
FAQs
Is your child named Adolf?
- No. I was being sarcastic. As a Jew, I certainly wouldn't go that route. Saddam, Mao Zedong, and Stalin are also off the table, as well. My son is named Gavin. He was born July 2013. He's positively delightful, and not at all reminiscent of any historically evil personality.
So, I heard you got banned from BabyCenter. Sup with that? Are you a troll?
- I was banned from BabyCenter. I used the word "asshat" in a post, was suspended for 15 days, and created an account to say goodbye (which was a vio). I'm not a troll, but I'm sarcastic, a lover of proper grammar, and an open book. I'm also an incredibly supportive person, and am currently in touch with many BabyCenter members (60+ via Facebook and a private forum). So, no. I'm not a troll. Nor do I create anonymous accounts. I'm very clear about who I am, and will never troll for the sake of trolling.
Is there anything about yourself that we can dig up online and be cute about in the future?
- Nope. Ask away.
Why are you here?
- My participation in an online community has been instrumental as a first time mother, and actually helped me mourn the death of my best friend (she died the day before I gave birth). Some things are better understood by people who have a child the same age as yours, and some issues are more comfortably addressed in this format. I was sad to leave BabyCenter. Any drama surrounding my departure was circumstantial. So, I come in peace. I would like to be part of an online community that doesn't often find their panties in a bunch. Can this be my new home?
Re: Hey
Thanks! I had a laugh when I woke up and thought, "Okay, let me explain!"

I am so sorry of the loss of your best friend. How sad. I hope you are healing.
"Asshat" is okay, but I prefer "cunt nugget."
I'm pretty sure there are more people that remember the other incredibly well respected Joseph's in the history of the world more than Stalin. Like oh Joseph of the Old Testament. Or the New Testament. Or in my religion Joseph Smith. Then again you think all religion is stupid and silly so I don't know why I'm even responding.
