D14ers are fleeing to other boards and calling themselves D14 Refugees. I get that we had a couple of crazy days recently, but I dunno. I loves you guys.. Whatevs. I'm staying. I may just be talking to myself soon. What else is new?
Wait. Really? That is so ridiculous and rude. I'm sure they're in for a rude awakening. This bored is EXTREMELY tame. Anywho, not much. Watching shark week on netflix and avoiding work
May Siggy Challenge = Linda Belcher!! Hands down, my favorite TV mom!
It has been sort of crazy lately. I hope we've weeded out the crazies now. I'm still really close to all of the girls I met on my wedding month board and I was hoping for the same experience over here. I've still got hope and am sticking around. Just choosing to ignore the nonsense.
Irritates me because a lot of us try to offer support and we are getting grouped in with the "crazy" and "awful". I understand why outsiders think this board is nuts due to recent events, but I am a bit surprised by commentary from fellow D14 members. Oh well.

This is how I feel as well. I love this board. Just look past the crazies on the street.

So what are they gonna do after their babies are born and the board migrates over to a parenting for December 2014 will they just come back and hope no one recalls who they are, lol.
@caden1206 I have stayed out of all the crazy that has been going on but the comments lumping everyone on the board together have been more than annoying.

Exactly so going to another board cuz you dont like your BMB is gonna help how unless you just STAY on other boards that arent really relevant to your situation.
Seriously starting to think some people never got passed the grade school mentality. We're adults and we're honest. Put on your big girl panties and deal with it don't go whining to others about how "badly" you were treat. UGH. I don't have patience for this shit today.
I like this board. Sure there are some crazies, but they are everywhere! And it's nice to have a group of ladies going through the same stuff that you are in the crazy world of pregnancy.
Eta maybe we need a badge for all the D14 "refugees".
Lol well I'm glad we're exporting the crazy ones to other boards and keeping the premium, quality bumpers for ourselves! Enjoy the pains in our backsides, other boards.
That is just ridiculous. If you don't want to be involved in drama...then don't get involved. It isn't that hard. Since this is the only board I look at (my local one is like crickets) I have no where else to go... Not that I want to go anywhere.
Edited to add that last part. Bc I don't wanna go and I'm not going!
I just started posting in parenting ... they certainly provide me with plenty of lols. But I love D14 and am here to stay ... I think most of the crazy is gone now. If not I'll break out the popcorn again, sometimes this board is better than watching tv.
@Whocanitbenow - I think the tone of this thread is joking. I'm truly not mad/hurt/anything at people leaving the D14 board. But I do think it's an excellent opportunity for hilarious gif usage.
The OP? Yes.
Most of the responses? No.
Well, my responses were intended to be funny, not mean or hurtful. I really like finding gifs, and I really hate working on my dissertation.
Upon doing some "research" and seeing why some women left I understand needing to find a less pregnancy focused board. However, for the women who leave just to trash the board and lump the group as whole into some monstrous hormonal gang I don't want them back. They can't seem to focus on any of the positive that thrives on this board and so that's who my first comment was directed towards.

If it is any consolation, April 13 is outdoing you all (which sadly most of you were actually decent through that whole thing, so I'm not really sure what you are so butthurt about) at the moment, so yay? You're mad that people found another board that they feel is a better fit for them? And feel that is a reason to degrade them? Are you looking to take that spot back from A13? Though they are condoning the casual use of the r-word, so you'd have some work to top that.
I don't think anyone is butt hurt as much as irritated because most of us have tried to be supportive, not crazy, or awful. If other boards are good fits then great, but don't run off and run your mouth about how you (not you in particular) really can't stand most of us and expect us to be like "that's cool".
Talk babies here, whatever. Some people enjoy other boards because they can take & dish the snark and it's not all babies 24/7/365.
Also, the board they are retreating to is a fun board. Rally fun.
Hope you all know I totally don't care where any of you post. I went to lurk on Parenting, after the invitation.. and like 4 or 5 of the 1st page posts mentioned how insane we are on D14. So whatevs. I'm plenty simmered. Just thought us crazy lunatics over here would like to know that there is, apparently, a retreat.
And @danisgossipgirl - I used your term because a) it's funny, b) it's over the top, c) it was reused on other threads.
Didn't leave forever, as I did post here today even. However, I gotta talk about things other than my gut getting bigger, why it makes me crazy, and if my NT scan pic is a boy or girl. I just cannot talk about the same things day after day. Nothing against anyone who can, I just can't.

OK now imma second the need for fukin comprehension before comments.
So to clarify since apparantly its needed @WhoCanItBeNow "NOT RELEVANT TO THEIR SITUATION MEANING CHILD NOT BORN AT THE SAME TIME" Ask a question in an october board and you kid was born in december and guess what you will get flamed for asking a question that was asking MONTHS ago ...Which was the issue a lot of them left for... So does that help you see my statement for what it was or do you need me to rephrase that for you even further?
Anyways.
@gradschoolmom1234 your baseball gif had me in tears at work I had to call other people over just to see it!!! hahahah Made my total day!!
ETA: Spelling but gave up cuz I really dont care lol

I think this pretty much sums it up for me. I've grown rather tired of the you guys are mean i'm leaving post here recently. I'm not hurt/mad/upset just irritated.
I flee to Parenting all the time. I admit it. GASP! Traitor!
I frequent occasionally but have posted more in my local board and whatever BMB I'm part of at the moment (cuz ya know I just keep staying KU lol) ... so guess I'm an all around traitor lol
Interwebs? what's that? LOL nope, no internet at home! We have, my husband is usually on the better comp, but normally I don't have the time or desire to boot up my slower comp just to check my email. I'm too tired from chasing DD and doing the everyday pick up and clean lol.
Normally I get on Friday nights although last night was an exception because I was burning songs to itune from CDs I borrowed from the library...plus, my phone is basic, ie, no data plan!
it takes a while but really, I don't miss it that much. not having it at work though would kill me lol
I still like this board a lot because people seem to enjoy telling me in my personal life that I have no idea what I'm talking about/feeling even though I'm pregnant and they're not, and I can come on here and have a group of ladies who are exactly where I am and it's comforting to me. I'm mainly retreating because it's like everywhere I go there's conflict and freaking out and it's driving me crazy that I can't escape it (on TB and life in general). And yeah I get that that's a part of life, but sometimes I just want to talk about Sherlock and Doctor Who and forget that drama exists everywhere...I confess, a due date change was looking really appealing a few days ago when there was a hanging every other post, but I feel like I've built relationships here and know people here. I don't think there's anywhere else I really want to "belong" to, but I don't see the harm in having another board to retreat to every once in awhile. End mini rant.

Omg I love how easy life is to check out of the Web for you!! I. Can't. Do. It. (I say from my smartphone lol (seriously no data plan though?))
I don't think anyone cares if people are on other boards. That would be weird. What is irritating is the dialogue that is negative from people who are regs here and that we offer support to. The A13 post is a good example. Also, crazy/awful are irritating as it is applied to most of as a whole.
