@maxsmommy123112 if you don't like spoofs that's fine. It's more of the way you brought it up saying you think a bumpie is rude and won't last but I'm not naming names! Oh but go look in this thread to see!! Just call her out then! If you would have just said you don't like spoofs then great you don't like her. The way you worded your post and then responding to others came across as you starting something to me. If that's not how it was meant then I will drop it.
If I didn't like her, I would've said that I didn't like her. That's not the case, I don't know her! Her comment 'seemed' rude. And the go look and see was referring to the person that asked me who it was. I purposely didn't say her name because I figured most people wouldn't go look and see anyway. And I clearly started talking about other things after my post. I wasn't harping on it or trying to give it anymore attention after my original post.
I already said, if I perceived her post the wrong way than I am the one that is wrong for posting what I did. I also already deleted my post. But it is not unrealistic for someone to take what she said negatively and I do stand by that.
I'm a supportive welcomer/congrats giver/pray-er (and I do literally pray every single time I type that!) and advice giver. I love reading the drama, I always laugh at the snark, but I don't really participate that much. I think my opinions are a bit too unpopular to participate in a lot of conversations, which is why I think I keep my mouth shut.
I am convinced that coffee is God's gift to mothers.
Friendly and try to be helpful when I can. But I have to say I hate bumpies that:
Are rude for NO apparent reason. Like they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed...so far I have seen 1 girl like that on this board. My response on that post, 'well isn't she delightful'. I'm sure she won't last long here. Everyone seems very nice and respectful.
I also dislike and don't have tolerance for judgmental people. We don't have to parent the same way. We are all different and should have respect for each other as individuals regardless of being behind a screen name!
Didn't take the time to read the rest of the comments regarding this yet, but you couldn't be further from the truth. Just because Spoof expressed her honest opinion about something and isn't all puppies and rainbows doesn't make her rude in the least. And I think she will last a long time, she's a valued Bumpie on S12 and people love her there, so far I think it's going the same way here....with you as the exception. @maxsmommy123112
@zoeygirl1105 First of all that was the first post I had seen of hers...maybe if I had seen others I wouldn't have thought it was rude? Secondly, if I said something like the post in question I would expect some people to take it rudely. It is a little harsh and unnecessary. BUT I am fully aware that we can't judge tone on this thing so maybe she was being sarcastic? If someone is coming to her aid then maybe she wasn't trying to be rude and that was just the way I perceived it.
I already took down my post on the due date and gender page so if people go investigating...which like i said, I highly doubt, they won't see my comments and put 2 and 2 together.
DD? @maxsmommy123112, you should know by now that's a Bump no no unless it violates TOS. If you have something to say, why don't you just say it?
I'm not a big fan of snark, though I know it seems to be the norm on theknot and thebump. I try to be friendly and supportive, and helpful when I can. I feel like the point of these forums is to be helpful, and to give one another a place to enjoy each other's company and vent. So I try not to get involved in drama (but not gonna lie, I totally read the drama threads!).

I'm more supportive than anything, snarky when the time calls for it. And, I love the crazy posts but stay away from posting in them for the most part.
I have a potty mouth. I love snark. I hate the 900 repeats a day of the same old shit! No you aren't showing. That isn't the baby kicking its gas! I love to get in on a good circumcision or vaccination war. I like to stir shit for no good reason sometimes. I will tell you that you're tacky. I don't believe in this "Sprinkle" bullshit unless there is an age gap (like 10 years at least) or someone wants to have one for you, but you have nothing to do with it. I'm here for the crazy madness, because I love chaos. But I'm also here to support. I'm am a proud NICU parent and pre-e fighting bitch! I also love to lurk. And that is how I introduce myself as I haven't yet done that to the group yet.
I am generally a supportive person that congratulates and sends thoughts and prayers. I was somewhat active on TTGP. I am not able to check in everyday, but do so a few days a week. I love gifs (now that I learned how to insert them) and use them when not mobile. I did get a little snarky with the "am I pregnant" threads on TTGP.
I enjoyed participating on the Feb 2012 board w/ my first pregnancy to give & receive support - since it was my 1st it was excellent to learn from each other. I plan on doing the same this time around but I will have less time to get too involved. The Feb 2012 board was filled w/ kind and encouraging ladies and I really hope this will board will be likewise. Some of the other boards got really mean spirited and judgy towards ppl and in my personal opinion its just ugly to be mean - period. I don't have time for that.
This is my first board where my pregnancy has made it past the 6 week mark, so I'm not sure how involved I'll be. I read everything, laugh at drama, and think I'll comment mostly in an empathetic way.
Re: What kind of bumpie are you?

Just pretend this smiley face is dancing:
I just glaze over at repeat threads and written verbal altercations/confrontation. I've got a life in real time that's way more important.
But I like being here for the occasional new tidbit I never thought about, good advice and to offer/receive support as needed.
The bump is fun if you let it be!
baby #3 arrived in September 2014...cannot get ticker to work no matter what I try!
