Passive Aggressive Comment

mskatiepmskatiep member
in November 2013 Moms
I will address this here because I do not want to ruin Sing's AMA.

Yes, I made a passive aggressive comment in my opening AMA statement. To be honest, I was more than a little hurt/insulted and probably overly sensitive in regards to the opening comment in the AMA prior to this one.

I respected her request, and limited my questions. I have no such qualification on the AMA I started, so I wanted everyone to feel free to ask as many questions as possible.

That is all.

    I stated that I was probably being overly sensitive. It is what it is. My panties are of the adult variety, and I will just keep asking my questions. I'm not really one to start issues, and that really isn't my intention now.

    Starting a separate thread on an non-issue from last week is starting and issue. Just sayin'. Also, no one is asking you to stop doing what you're doing. The way you get respect is by owning your behavior/opinions/etc. If you're the known question asker? OWN IT. Laugh at yourself a little, that's all.

    I was serious about my question to @sing2phins... If I get called out on the AMA, I gotta have a game plan... 

    Or hope it happens on a weekend...

    I love the AMA thread and I don't think it is so much the AMOUNT of questions but sometimes the content that makes it a little out of control and frankly not interesting. I think a lot of the questions are awesome but when too many filler questions are added it just ruins the thread.  IMO. And maybe you all will tell me to STFU but just throwing it out there that maybe we can try to keep it reasonable and to the good stuff :-)...Yes? No? Maybe? Just putting my two cents in. Love you all!

    I feel as if this board is dying a very slow painful death. AMAs were supposed to help and now we are setting rules? It just isn't very fun in here :| What happened?
    No one is setting rules, though. The point is being missed severely here.

    I think more threads about non-baby related stuff but we need people to participate! I've seen a lot of threads that are interesting but don't go far because no one responds. Gossipping about celebs, talking about an article that is NOT a mommy blog, more discussion of tv shows, anything. Sadly so many of our regs seem to have totally disappeared.

    More sharing of crazy threads here. Apparently there's a SG for that and if people want to keep it there that's fine I just don't do SGs.

    Admittedly I took a break for a while because there was a flurry of judgy "I'll nevers..." for a while. I found myself feeling bitchy about it so I took a step back and took a break. I am guilty of not speaking up at times but I plan to more. But I think threads like the over the top response when someone was asking about CIO a month ago when it was likened to child abuse turns people away.

    This happened?
    ...pretty sure that was on Babies 3-6 and not here and I remember that one vividly; the special sort of human who left her child to scream for 5 hours and wore ear plugs.

    Also. I start threads and participate.

    Still bored.

    I agree that it has become pretty dull around here, that I one of the reasons I do ask a lot of questions on the AMA's. Maybe we should do a non-baby related hot topic Tuesday or something.

    I'm going to guess that I participated in the CIO thread, although I don't equate it with abuse unless we're talking about the extinction method like PPs mentioned. That is neglect, especially if we're talking about a baby less than 6 months old.

    I've been pretty vocal about not doing CIO before a year, but if someone is choosing that method of ST I don't automatically judge it. I get annoyed with the CIO threads because it's usually the H that wants to do it, and I highly doubt he has read any ST books and researched the methods. So I guess my irritation is the fact that it seems like the H thinks that's the easy way out because they don't want to do any night duty.

    If my H weren't available to help with MOTN wakings, or refused to, I would be in a pretty rough spot.

    And the board will continue to die out.

    @mishkaroni‌ do you have any suggestions on how to prevent that? I know you posted a little while ago that you were thinking of leaving, what kind of threads would you like to see?

    I agree that sometimes we take a hard stance and it can probably be intimidating. I think an OU a few weeks ago ran off @megswen‌ . I don't think the solution is to tip toe, but I also don't think we do ourselves any favors with our immediate ability to dogpile and then shun. I am more like @DevynnMarie‌ with a live and let live mentality about most things.

    I've been trying to pinpoint the issue with this board, and I think a lot of the posters just don't "get" one another. I think all the personal / GTKY threads are exacerbating that issue to be honest.

    No problem solving from me, just observance.

    I stopped posting after that UO because all the questions everyone kept asking me were just exhausting. I decided that, although I could very well defend my stance, I just had better things to do, like spend time with my babe.

    Then, since I did leave all those questions unanswered, I figured you guys would ignore me, so I just stopped posting altogether. I do still lurk though, because I do think you guys have good advice. I'd love to participate again, but if it's just going to piss people off, I'll stay off. No big deal.

    *crawls back into lurking hole*

    Glad you didn't run off forever @megswen‌ ! Message boards of internet strangers aren't like real life, what's the worst that could happen if you get flamed? Nothing will happen because the fun is in the flaming and the mistakes and the bullshit. I do think everyone has a BMB arch nemesis though!

    Who is yours?

    And, more importantly, who is mine??
    Lol I'm curious too!! For both of you :)

    I think I'll forever be booger girl, but I'm okay with that! I own B's boogers : ) I will however admit that a lot of times I feel like the by the time I get around to being able to contribute, most of what I've been thinking has been said, so I just love it on a ton of stuff and contribute when able.  My availability to get on varies so I just hope by the next time I post people still semi remember me.

    @DevynnMarie‌ who is your except one?

    I know it's not me because you LOVE me! :) just like I love you! Btw your ig this morning? Hellloooooo morning wood! ;)


    Also, bmbs die out. Look at the past ones. They tend to head to fb (I'm not suggesting that, just saying), dismantle when people start having more babes or people just get so busy. There's not much to do in the way of saving a dying board. Especially now. I think with the rule changes, the past dramas and other shit, some are scared off to post. Some are too wuss to get flamed and others won't flame.

    I think this pretty much sums it up. Have you guys wandered over to the BMBs just a few months ahead of ours? O13 is staying busy and there's a great group of ladies there, but IIRC S13 is lucky to have 10 new threads a week.

    No call outs, but she always had polls as her posts and she has been "shunned" twice and keeps coming back. I admire her for that, but dislike her antics and how I feel she purposely tries to start drama. So I don't hate her, I just don't love her. Beeteeedubbs- your Pictures on IG always give me a boner. Cfox was/is my bump crush but you my little Macaroni are deff my IG crush,
    Anyone else going back through the pages to try and figure this out???? I'm so damn nosy!

    This is easy.  It's not "polls," though; it's "questions."
    I think I know...and isn't she kind of popular for being disliked? Or am I way off?
    Yeah. I've made up my mind to just ignore her. I think she's full of it.

    I suck at this game. Can someone tell me??? pretty please.

    Yes, is this like a "labor buddy"? We put it on a spreadsheet and then we are responsible for flaming every time that person posts?

    That might spice up the bored ;)
