I don't get how this thread is offensive. Don't like it, don't open it. We have made it clear everyone's welcome. Don't want to come in, ok. Besides we aren't interesting anyways
I saw that and was like well okay then.
This here is case and point to my feelings steam off I just had.
@ballerina10 It starts on page 3. Basically anything and everything I saw regarding dressing like a prostitute is getting blown WAY WAY out of proportion.
I shouldn't care about being on anyone's post it but I already feel pretty "outcasted" on TB as a whole that is why I enjoy the SB thread because I felt like I fit in and found a "home".
I feel like the ladies that are complaining that we take it down are the same ones that complain if I start to many threads. I feel like because my personality isn't want is "liked" I just get over looked when I do contribute to other posts.
I feel like some of these ladies on this board have nothing better to do and they want drama and because we are all in here playing nice, they are SB..super bored.
I feel like they don't want a "clique" atmosphere and they think we are doing that in here, were NOT, your all welcome but then yet again they don't realize they are being "cliquey" because they won't let anyone in out there on the main board.
I feel like this thread has gotten some people to understand me better, I could go on but really no point.
So there are my feels, put me on your sticky note if you have to I guess.
This.
I joined TB late and didn't start posting till after LO was born. My first post was a desperate "help me, I have no idea what to do, I'm a FTM" post and I got jumped on by a few regs to "go feed my baby." WTF? I felt like some people were circling the waters waiting for some newb to jump in so they could attack. But in this thread, I can make comments and ask questions, and shocker - people actually reply back and are real. I love it. Post on, I say....

I like a catch all thread. This one is impossible to keep up with. I like the idea of a daily thread vs the never ending one.
I think that you are definitely more understood after this thread....you joined and posted novels right off the bat (I talk a lot too IRL) I now understand why you're sunshine and rainbows from this thread but....I would rather know what you're really thinking versus always trying to be liked. I like you more after reading your opinion above!
If you knew me in real life, you would know that I don't give a rats ass who likes or don't like me. I am who I am, Take me or leave me. I came in here and I tried to be a participating member back in Oct but I was "late to the game" or something and I didn't even post the first day I signed up. I lurked for a good week or two. I figured the best way to jump in was just that to jump in get my feet wet and I wasn't going to short stick myself and act like someone I am not. I talk a lot, I type A LOT but I feel like I didn't get received well here on this board for whatever reason.
My feelings are my feelings and I don't have to post them for the whole bump to see. I am extremely sad today over this whole situation. I really could almost just cry right now for real.
I've been here since day 1. Before I knew I was having twins. I never felt like I fit in. Everyone was super nice to me but I just never felt part of a conversation even if I contributed. I finally feel like part of the group and I love it. I'm home alone a lot and TB gives me other moms to talk to.
I'm home alone 3 days a week. I feel your pain. I feel like I've connected with you a few times!
@Risalyn222 this thread is not offensive. It was a fun thread that a lot of people enjoyed in the beginning. It's also awesome that the few of you that kept it going have made a connection. But multiple people felt that even though they also had random questions and wanted to participate in a catch all type thread they weren't going to do it here since they felt they wouldn't be able to keep up. They probably also weren't posting on the board since this was the self designated place to post randoms. Wanting to close it is not a personal thing at all.
Seriously look at the Friday Spam thread and there's already tons more people participating there than here. That's honestly the only purpose.

@yty205 Which original post are you talking about?
I think that my LO was maybe a week old and my DH had to go out of town for drill, so I was home alone with the baby. He freaked out and wouldn't stop crying because of really bad gas. He kept wanting to nurse which made the gas even worse. After about 4 hours of him screaming and nursing, I asked if anyone had any ideas b/c I was not sure what I was doing. After a few of the answers I got, I swore to DH I wouldn't come back to TB because it wasn't helpful. But here I am, so oh well.
In the end, it wasn't that big of a deal, but it definitely made me wary of certain posters and made me think twice before commenting on anything.

I have to agree. The SB thread was great when I wasn't working but now it's impossible to keep up I feel like. No offense to any SAHMs but ladies that work can't follow it anymore.
Plus since the convo is always changing no problems with starting each day fresh.
I liked this thread, it's like a chat room, but it really is hard to keep up!!!
I totally see where you ladies are coming from and don't disagree. I guess I feel like I found my little snow and will be sad to see it go. But I'm starting to see it might tear our group apart.
There are lots of things tearing the group apart, I think. Even more so than this thread.

I'm a SAHM and I can't keep up. My kids keep me busy since I don't ignore them all day.
I agree with what @reenielynn posted earlier. The few people that are keeping this going, even after reaching a compromise, are kind of being assholes. You're deliberately pissing people off. You feel like you've made a connection to people? Great. Start a social group or something.
Ok, so maybe ignore was the wrong word. I just don't understand how people have so much time to bump. I have like maaaaybe an hour a day (right now) where both kids are napping. Other than that, I would have a toddler trying to steal my phone or type on the computer.
I'm at work right now. My mother watches my kid while I work. I'm totes neglecting my kid, yo!

I don't have a toddler, I have a 12 and 8 yr old who are in school all day, I have a 3.5 month old who sleeps like ALL day. My husband mostly works from home and my house because I have insomnia is mostly kept clean during the night while everyone is sleeping. I also bump on the go a lot. Not that I need to explain my bumping habits to anyone.
So on another note. I put Amalia in her swing a few minutes ago to pee. She fell asleep and I am NOT moving her to the crib.
FFFC - my LO takes all her naps in either her swing or car seat if we are driving. Eeek. Going to be a bitch of a habit to break. Thank God it is electric.
Not even 5 minutes later some kids ran past our back fence and DH's dog started barking like crazy and woke her up. Should have known better.
I am the resident twatty poster... I am 99% sure that's who Cole was referring to this morning. Because dogs can only be inside people. PEOPLE. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ANIMALS, TOO. 8-|
Pretty sure you're right. I also think I'm becoming a "twatty poster" too.
Don't get me started on acceptable slang around here! People need their mouths washed out regularly, but flip out over the word "preggo" because it's infantile. I was taught that swearing like a sailor was evidence of low IQ, and the older I get, the more I think my parents were right. Never heard that about preggo.
I agree with most of this besides the IQ thing. I've heard people that swear a lot are more truthful... I like to believe that!
@Cambury108 I hope you feel ok. Don't let anyone's negative opinion of you get you down. You are a sweet person. Continue to be yourself. Who fucking cares about that stupid petty bullshit. Don't ever give anyone the power to bring you down. ESPECIALLY people who really don't know you. now perk up and smile! On to the next one...

Did it work??
Eta: nevermind
A breather would be good for some people. I was seriously getting anxious and my stomach in knots bc of things today and I wasn't even involved!
