Seriously the only attacks I've really seen are of folks who have NEVER really posted or been a part of the group suddenly complaining that 100% of the members of this board are all mean, horrible, snarky bitches.....Really?
You read a handful of posts that rubbed you the wrong way and automatically assume that every single member of this board is an intolerable BSC bitch? I think some of these one timers need to take a step back from their keyboard and think about what they are saying. You're passing judgement on an entire group of women for what a few might have said that you didn't like or found offensive.
If you want to treat this like real life, maybe ignore the folks you find offensive or rude. There's that option. It's easy, you click on their user name and select "Ignore". Boom! Mischief managed!
Just to be clear I don't think the board is 100% bitchy or even 10% bitchy. A lot of the snark is VERY funny. Sorry if I lumped people into one category. And...in my clear ignorance I think I started that newbie thread you were discussing above. Oops
@greneyedmom19 I'm honestly curious. Are you aware that you spelled green wrong?
Holy fucking shit...legitimate Lolol.
Yes I am, when I first came to the bump 3 years ago it was taken so I worked with what I had.
So you chose to spell a basic color wrong than change the numbers?
I tried all the numbers I liked and they were taken, sorry you don't like my name.
I just don't understand the logic in it, but it's your SN. I'm not the one who has to live with the side eyes
Thanks for warning me but I don't care about side eyes. If I wanted to be honest there are a lot of sn posting on here that I don't care for but what I care about doesn't matter because it doesn't have anything to do with me so I don't post about it.

I wasn't referring to you, it was THIS post. I would have replied in your thread if it was. I read through this entire thread and this was my take away. Didn't have to do with you.
@dragonmom35 ok I think I got it that you don't care even though you keep taking about it. Why do I get the feeling you are trolling me right now? No worries thanks for not caring :x
I agree as well and I have since became more active on the babycenter app called my pregnancy. I made a comment needing support over something I was (admittedly) needlessly worrying about but just wanted to have an open conversation about it and was attacked. The women were very mean about it. I recommend the switch to baby center.
Nice guess but nope. I just like the number 19 however thanks for making me 5 years younger! Also I don't see how making fun of someone's sn is mature?
We heart A15! Don't worry, your board will settle down... Eventually. The crazies always weed themselves out. Meanwhile, grab some popcorn and pull out your butthurt bingo cards.
Good luck, ladies!

I have to put my two cents in! What a post!! From what I have seen, there have been some really serious posts such as the abusive boyfriend one, the one with the hyper sensitive BIL and all the posters I have seen have been incredibly supportive and done nothing but try and help and comfort the OP because of the gravity of the situation. If someone was rude on one of those type of posts then that isn't cool. But when it is a light hearted post, it doesn't matter what people say - if you don't like, ignore it and move on! As for everything else like ( am I pregnant? Are my symptoms normal etc,) Dr Google is your friend Oh and loving the gifs. One day I might get of my arse and post one but too lazy right now...
Please ... Why are we arguing and fighting? Why does it matter what kind of questions someone asks. What kind of example are we setting for our children? Please be nice!
Let's start a different board lol. I agree with you. If it's difficult for MOTHERS to act like cordial human beings, then why bother with them. I know you are asking for decency and humility....but based on the immediate response, you won't get it here. Women really are worse to other women. Which is really sad. So I say us nice gals put a line in the sandbox and create a new April Board!!!
Honestly, after reading MOST of these responses, a lot of you sound ridiculously immature. Maybe some outside activities? How do you all have this much time on your hands??? All I can do is smh! I guess this could be purely entertainment, bc I would never ask most of you for any advice lol. What a joke you all make of yourselves.
People should come here for support of others that are going for similar situations-that's not "hair petting"....this board sounds ridiculously unsupportive.
Who said they don't deserve support??? That's awful! Maybe they have lots of responsibilities that keep them from posting all day and night... What's wrong with it? Seriously???

Ok, so here's the thing. You don't have to post here all day and night to receive support. No one who has come here actually in need of support and hasn't received at least some comforting words and advice. But just as in real life, you wouldn't walk into a room full of people, blurt out your 'problems' and expect everyone to stop what they are doing and tend to your every want and need. It's incredibly self centered. What you are saying is, well I have lots of things to do, so I'm too busy to care about the people here, but I want to be answered and responded to in the way I want, and if you don't then I'm going to make more threads to complain about everyone here. The internet, just as real life, does not work like that.
Excuse me for not knowing the quote situation... However, no I wouldn't walk into a real room and blurt things out. But, this isn't a real room, it's the internet. Anyway, I'm super tired of this. It's exhausting lol. Thanks for the memories!
