    Uhh.. why would you say something like this? Your opinion doesn't matter much to me anyway, since I don't even remotely recognize your screen name. I love our mod and I think she does a great job.

    ETA words.

    Totally fine if you disagree, but @kendrav4 posts every few days or so.  I don't think she's a random lurker sharing an opinion. I don't think that post count is enough per se to dismiss someone's opinion.  Maybe if she didn't go here, or was a one time poster or something.

    I didn't think she was a random lurker. It doesnt mean I recognize her either. But you shouldn't post stuff like that about our mod. If you have an issue with her, take it up with her directly.

    I'm afraid I'm going to be flamed for this one.

    I am SO people getting flamed for asking about second showers or sprinkles. Who cares if their friends want to throw them another shower, even of their last baby is only 10months old. It's not these PPs business to say, "You asked how many people to invite but I'm going to answer you by calling you tacky, tasteless, and an idiot for allowing other people to do this for you"! And I think it's actually MORE rude to say "thanks for wanting and offering to celebrate my baby and me but the bump says I can't so...no." If people don't want to give another gift, don't come!

    *after all of that, I did turn down my sisters offer to throw me a second shower but that's because I knew she's really busy, I'm really busy, and there's a lot of other stuff going on in my family (like other weddings and engagements) I didn't want to steal any limelight.

    I think we should get a new mod all together....

    Flame away


    Whoa - any reason for saying this?  I think we're all kind of wondering why you would even suggest that.  Our mod has a tough job and she does a really good job doing it ... and putting up with random comments like this.  If you're gonna make a comment like this and attack someone specific, you need to provide some reasoning other than "that's just my opinion". 


    Sure. The reason I feel like this is because in my opinion, she acts like the bump police. She is very fast to flame people over stupid stuff (but she certainly can't take it when its dished back to her) and she tries to dictate what and how others post and I think its ridiculous. I know I am not the only person who feels like this and there are a lot of people who don't post here as often because of her.

    That's great that a lot of you enjoy having her as mod, that's your opinion. I don't, so I posted my honest opinion.

    I'm in the FB group and I also post here semi-regularly.  Does that mean my opinions don't count too?  Or yours, for that matter, since you're a member of both?
    Your opinion is a blatant attack on a member here, talking about her like she can't read it. It's shitty.
    Since you quoted me . . . please quote where I attacked her.  I haven't said a word about her, other than what I said directly to her in the formula resources thread.

    Oh, you can disagree all you want but be careful who it's with because it'll get you a warning.  Call out whoever you like and block whoever you like, just as long a you remember you can't do either of those things to a mod.

    Re: Mods...I've noticed that ours likes to be the board police a lot, and to try to dictate what people can and can't post...even when it has nothing to do with the TOS.

    For example...??
    For example, in the FF resources thread, trying to stop other posters from sharing their opinions about things. (Someone other than me called her out on it in that thread). 
    I heard through the grapevine a warning was given out from that thread.

    ETA - and it wasn't a mod.

    You're right, you didn't say anything. Qoute fail. @kendrav4's opinion/attack is the shitty one.

    I am in the Facebook group as of recently but mostly just lurk and comment occasionally. I avoid drama like this and honestly it is just tiresome and unnecessary. Yes you can post whatever you feel like because it is an unpopular opinion thread blah blah blah. It is just tiresome and annoying.
    Randomly bringing it up out of nowhere is COMPLETELY different than arguing with someone back and forth on an issue.
    Lame.

    I don't post here often because I can't remember my password and it is stored on my iPad, so I only post from my iPad. However, I read here nearly every day.

    I find that people tend to jump on occasional posters whenever we make any comment that strays from the status quo.

    Oh give me a break. Nobody has any problem when people here get flamed or state their opinion but god forbid I say my opinion. Nobody attacked her, just bc you don't like my opinion doesn't mean I can't state it JUST LIKE SHE AND EVERYONE ELSE DOES. The only reason your all up in arms is bc it was about a mod. Get over it.

    You are right, I am in both.  But If you look, I don't bring TB to FB (and until today didn't bring FB to TB) and use it as a platform to talk shit about TB like so many others do.  The problem I have with the FB group - and why I'm about to leave it - is the group think that starts happening.  It happened in DD's FB group and is already happening in this one and I've only been a member for a month.  I love how when someone posts or finds something on TB it is posted on FB and everyone turns into a clique of high schoolers egging each other on to make snarky comments.

    But good thing the FB group is drama free...god forbid someone disagree.
    Yo, no BS, but this happens between boards on TB all.the.time.  Dramz from someone's post on another board is copied to different boards and people from various boards click over and comment or just pop popcorn.  All the while commenting on the original thread with the shared link on the home board.

    I'm not debating the maturity of it one way or the other.  I'm just saying this isn't a problem of FB BMBs vs TB BMBs, but more about the nature of TB generally.  Or maybe just groups of people generally.  I just think it's a little silly to get in a huff about FB groups and say that they're all dramz and bringing stuff back and forth, but be super gung ho about the way TB works when the same sorts of stuff happens there.  That's all.

    Also, since the most recent debate is stale, I'm going back to the weirdos who said they don't like In-n-Out.  I mentioned this in yesterday's random thread, but if you don't like the fries, try getting them well done.  They're really so much better that way and less chance of them tasting limp and stale by the time you get them home.

    I'm fine with young people having credit cards, but why on earth would you let your kids on your credit card?!  I have excellent credit, and a credit card has nothing to do with it (student loan, SBA loan, mortgage, commercial building purchase).  

    Kids can do chores/general upkeep of the house at a very young age.  DS (18 months old) knows to put his clothes in the hamper when he's done getting dressed, throws away anything he can find on the floor, grabs a towel when he sees something spilled on the floor, and asks to "help with cookin'" when he sees me pulling stuff out of the fridge.  He won't get paid for the general expectations, but when he's older, he could earn some money by doing the occasional big tasks like, power-washing the deck, cleaning out and organizing cupboards, spring and fall lawn preparations.

    Our kids will have to follow a donate, save, spend division of their money (10% gets donated to a charity of their choice, 25% gets saved in a savings account, 65% they get to spend as they want), and our kids will be getting jobs once they're old enough (around 13).  DH and I both started working at 13 (I baby-sat and peeled apples at the orchard for pies and DH washed dishes at a diner), and we feel it helped set us up for success in school and out in the real world later. 
    I was with you until the bolded...nope...13 is still a kid.  They have their whole lives to work, why start them at 13?  16, sure...but 13?  In IL you can't even get a work permit that young so other than an occasional babysitting job I can't think of what they would even do.
    While we had jobs at 13, it's not like we were working insane hours.  I took the school bus to the apple orchard 2 days a week, and peeled apples for 2 hours each time (I was home by 5 pm).  DH washed dishes on Saturday mornings from 8 am - Noon.  I don't think 4-6 hours a week is asking a lot of a 13 year old, especially "now a-days" with the amount of TV/screen time kids are spending (I need to find the latest study to link, but it was alarming, especially the increase during the summer months).  Most 13 year olds that I know of want to be treated like they're a whole lot older, and answering to a boss is a great way of getting there.

    Fair point.  More like when I send DH to pick up In n Out for dinner and he gets it back home to me. :)
