Bump Tradition?

allrightmeow · February 2014

Is this a thing?! Did June 13 come here to school us newbies on how it's done up in here?

But, where is the one where we got told how to run our own BMB?! Was I peeing and missed it? LMFAO!

I read all those last night. Serious lolz happened. This is my 3rd BMB and I've never heard of this "tradition."

Haha!! Yeah I read a lot of that train wreck yesterday...it made a crappy work day much better.

It's not a normal tradition but it's happened before. Running to a new board to tell them what to do because you think you're the "big sister" is pretty lame. Defending your actions by pretending that everyone else just needs to get a sense of humor is even worse. Thankfully the Parenting ladies brought their A games and made the thread epic.

ETA: and I don't think June '13 did anything dumb like this. They had a couple of those threads welcoming us and supporting us when we went through so many losses and I thought that was pretty cool.

That turned into a shit show fast lol.

allrightmeow · February 2014

Yes! June 13 ladies are amazing and I love their pop in support posts. I've lurked around so many boards not just the birth month ones. Each seems to have their own unique tone, which I imagine they establish as they grew. That whole first page was some next level obnoxious.

No, J13 never did that. It's funny because it seemed to go over well on O14, but not on N14. I never remember that from Mar12 either. J13 just brought support which was amazing!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to find that whole thing rather odd. If I was just joining and read that...I'd be afraid to post anything!!! With all the stuff they said not to do...I was like, 'Wait, what's left??' I love our group and I love the pop ins from J13!!

Ugh, that was annoying to read. Ditto on loving J13 and so glad they didn't feel the need to pat themselves on the back like these bishes.

I clearly did not read far enough - I read a few responses, though, okay, nice, whatever, and closed. Going back and finishing my homework now.

They might as well just say "yes this is a pregnancy board, but no one cares about ANYTHING related to pregnancy so DON'T ASK ANYTHING OR YOU WILL BE FLAMED". What's the point?

jshrop · February 2014

Okay, wtf? Someone's hormone levels are out of control. Not sure why they took offense to welcome gifs? Seriously, people need to chill!

I haven't gotten far enough to see if someone calls her out on it, but someone, at the beginning of a post that ends in admonishments to always proofread and know the difference between commonly misused words like your/you're and their/they're/there - MISUSES THEIR.

shakeweights · February 2014

@chickpea912 - I just bought this little sign from Kohls (actually my husband picked it out for me). Maybe we should post this? LOL

Edit - tag fail

Sareynoo · February 2014

They were giving "advice" that's really not needed. I think they assumed that everyone on N14 is a FTM?

I also cracked up that the one person to quote her thread and add to it, added a gif about the difference between your and you're.... and MISSED the misuse of "their" (it should have been they're)... I gave up too soon to see if anyone else mentioned it.

flerlgirl · February 2014

Anything June 13 does is awesome. /gavel.

(But, no, they didn't do this)

flerlgirl · February 2014

Also, I still haven't read the thread you linked, but I do remember several of the early posters from N13 having a bit of a stick lodged in some places.

jshrop · February 2014

I read until page 7 and then got bored. Why are people so nasty? I thought it was funny, but I guess some ladies felt like they were being dressed down? Almost want to say un-bunch those panties señoritas!

jshrop · February 2014

I didn't understand why people who weren't part of the board felt the need to rain on the parade.

Holy 20some pages of shit show... Everyone needs to unclench. I found it hilarious that the actual BMB members didn't have anything to say/didn't care about it unfolding, though.

And no, I skimmed through pages like.... 13-20some

flerlgirl · February 2014

I mean, I thought the original post was annoying and kind of douchey. Idk. Maybe if I hadn't seen N13 get their panties in a twist over the smallest crap I would think differently.

Exciting! Drama even before most of the month's BFPs are in! Oh, N14...

Don't let me down!
