@wtfisup?

temursgirl · May 2014

Haven't seen her around lately. Is she okay? Anyone heard from her?

temursgirl · May 2014

Oh I see... I thought everyone had talked her down finally. Too bad

Ashes92813 · May 2014

@mullenem‌, thanks for the update. I had no idea that happened. Kind of bummed.

She's still lurking. Last active at 2:08 PM today...

jshrop · May 2014

I wish she's come back. I didn't even think it was that big of a deal, but whatevs. Hope all is well @wtfisup‌

Yeah, I didn't really get it at the time, so I guess I didn't think she'd actually go?

Read247 · May 2014

I don't understand what the big deal was. Don't we complain all the time about people with no kids giving parenting advice?? So why get all butt hurt when getting called out on it?

I figured maybe she was just having "one of those days" and feeling emotional or insecure. If she comes back, cool. If she stays away forever because of what was said in that thread then she's right. Maybe this isn't the place for her. Hope her and the baby are doing all right though.

temursgirl · May 2014

Come to think of it, there's another regular I haven't seen in several days... but I think she might be lying low. Hope she's okay too :-/

otter1103 · May 2014

I've been waiting to see if @wtfisup‌ would resurface. I miss her sass

ElTrain5 · May 2014

Speaking of ex regulars, I noticed Luna C was commenting in some of the social groups a little whole ago. If the info in her siggy is stil up to date things seem to be going ok with her.

temursgirl · May 2014

@ElTrain5‌ glad to hear that!

It looks like her profile was deleted, so.... maybe she's in Bump Jail right now waiting to come out and play?

True, I haven't seen @AllyTales in a long time!

Yeah, I think we're all on the same page. I know there are some issues. If anyone is in touch with her, I'm sending her good thoughts.

Yay, very good! When that happens I will be PMing you because I know I'm going to be confused lol. Glad she's doing ok and the offer still stands to crotch shot whoever is messing with her!

steprozz · May 2014

I thought crunchy mom already changed her name and went to a generic avatar? still haven't seen her in a few days though and I miss her!

Aw man. I love @wtfisup. I'm sad if she's not coming back but if she doesn't I hope she's doing her awesome thing wheresoever she feels good doing it.

And if she's lurking and sees this, hey lady, i miss your feminist self! hope you and your baby are doing well!

I also hope @wtfisup‌ is doing well! I liked her presence on the board.

Just as an aside, I don't complain about non-parents giving parenting advice, as long as it is well reasoned or researched.

Maybe because I've already received quite a few pieces of dubious advice from "experienced" parents...and been witness to some objectively poor parenting...I take quite a bit parenting advice with a grain of salt.

steprozz · May 2014

ohhhh yay she's here! (I think)

yep it's her just saw her new name hiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

katekat8721 · May 2014

I'm 90% sure I know who it is too, woohoo! WB girlie!

lest12 · May 2014

I think I know who you are talking about! But I'm not sure. I hope she's just busy and not not posting.

There's nothing wrong with FTMs giving advice, as long as it's not presented as fact, which in this case, it routinely was.

I think it often probably the classic "lack of tone" problem that all electronic communication seems to have. Generally IRL we get more context in our conversations and would know a researched opinion from an actual experience. Where are the emoji that covey contextual ambiguities and subtitles of meaning?

I'm in the same boat as you

@Merie412‌ :x :x :x

Read247 · May 2014

I agree with @Merie412‌. You don't have to agree on everything to be friends, have a discussion, or be a part of this community. IRL if I get into a disagreement with a friend we may step back for a day or two, sometimes offer an apology (if needed).... But you get over it and move forward.

But if someone decides "I don't think this relationship is a good one for me. I don't feel like I fit in." I'm not going to chase them down and beg them to stick around. What happens the next time we disagree?? Do we have to constantly do this song and dance?

sparklenshine_89 · May 2014

Sometimes one thing will work wonders for one pregnancy/baby and be complete crap for the next. As a third time mom I may say something worked for me but doesn't necessarily mean it will work for someone else but to be offended over it is a bit extreme. I've learned a lot of new information from ftm's and shitty info from stm's+ and vice versa. I just prefer people don't say things so matter of fact because it naturally makes me want to discredit them.

SchoolPsychSteph · May 2014

Now salties, I know you miss me, but I personally do not have a AE. SchoolPsychSteph all the way. Drinkin' again....Steph was here.

jshrop · May 2014

Yeah @SchoolPsychSteph‌! Have all the wines and margaritas please

so glad you're here!!!

And even good advice from an awesome experienced parent might just not work for me!

One of the things I really like about this board is a diversity of opinion. Even when I don't agree with someone's approach, sometimes they make me think things through in a new way, and that can be very valuable. So I think it's kind of too bad if someone leaves because they feel they're not adding or their perspective doesn't "fit in" because I don't think it should have to fit in. But I also agree with PPs that if someone feels that way, so be it. I've honestly been quite surprised that people have actually left, but it's their call of course.

I'm glad we're getting one of our own back

elsa1688 · May 2014

@yellowbird219‌ you are thinking of @Mommy23Munchkins‌. I have been missing her too!

lest12 · May 2014

I'm juat going to put this here, but I think we are missong someone else, too. I would tag her but I'm afraid maybe she had a loss and I missed it. It was christine m? Anyone know who I'm talking about?

Hi, folks. Please understand that just because someone's status shows as "last active" on this site doesn't mean they're lurking here. The Bump is quite an expansive website with many forums, pages, and resources. If your login info is saved to your computer, it "logs" every time you visit any aspect of the site.

As someone who chose to leave this particular forum, any time my Google search brings me back to the site, I'm getting these notifications due to the tags. I could delete the account, but I would like the option to continue to be active in other spaces. If you don't mind, please do not tag me.

It's a little dramatic to leave a whole board (many members of which obviously like you because they tagged you) just because your feelings were hurt when you got called out on coming across as a know it all in the newbie thread.

It's something that an apology could have taken care of in like two seconds. "Man guys, I'm sorry I didn't know I was coming across like that!"

Most the people who tagged you are people who care about you and want you to come back.... and you come back just to ask these folks not to tag you because it's annoying to see a little notification thing you could easily ignore?

Geez... everyone was just worried and missing her... and she comes back all snarky... maybe she really doesn't belong?

Good luck with your pregnancy. May this thread rest in peace!

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but the (teeny, tiny) little notification box doesn't even show up for me unless I go to the forum part of TB. Just sayin.

steprozz · May 2014

I don't get notifications? is that a super cool thing only non-mobile bumpies get?
