Facebook Group!

Never mind

Just my own personal opinion, but isn't it a bit early for a Facebook group? On my first BMB, we didn't start one for a few months...just to get to know each other a bit more, weed out the crazies, etc. I (personally) think this may be a bit premature. If we wait, I think we have a better chance of staying together for a prolonged period of time.

I just think it's a bit too soon to jump into FB with a group of strangers.

katnhiding my sentiments exactly!

helenwood who is "US' when you reference starting up a Facebook group? You have one discussion (this one) and one reply. You have ZERO history on the bump. I call troll.

I agree. I just joined this morning. It is a little too soon to give you FB access.

I think your intentions are good but I agree, let's give it some time. As for weeding out the crazies, in my Nov '12 BMB group, it took months to weed out the crazies. Some of them left well into our pregnancies and even when we had newborns. At times it was drama central

norsern - mine fixed itself a few days ago, but I was thinking the same thing!

It's still early, plenty of time for the crazies. The fact that OP just became a member and said "some of us" started a group is a big red flag. *sigh* isn't it obvious we aren't ready for such commitment?!

sarasansh - I have to agree....after being on TTGP for almost a year, we are being verrrrrryyyy easy on OP - I tried to word my post carefully as to not look like a beotch.....but now that I see she is very likely a troll, I might not be so nice.

I would definitely like a FB group at some point, but I agree that it is way too early now. I want to get to know everyone better and we still are a long way before everyone shows up with may due dates. I find it a lot easier to FB than to get on the bump though.

Same for us. It took a long while. Though a few years ago, we set up our own spin off board of TB. That was fun.

All I have to say is that so far you all seem way nicer than a lot of other BMBs. I opened this expecting to see a bunch of gifs like this:

Trolls and idiots will arrive and bring out much deserved snark, but we've been lucky so far. I think the fact our board doesn't show up on the initial mobile list is helpful in the crazies missing us. I kind of hope they never fix it.

haha All of this!

Yeeeeaaah, no. I didn't join my last BMB FB group until L was like 4 months old.

I didn't set the group up. I was simply asking if anyone wanted to be part of it. Thanks very much for all your negative comments. Deleting this account now. Absolutely no need for the comments. Sorry that I seem to have offended you

Yeah... no one rude to you. It's just that no one wants to give their Facebook info to a stranger.... you know, because of ....

Eta: no need to delete your account. You can still participate in the group. This is actually a really nice bmb.

I am not offended at all. I just think it's a bit too soon. Your intentions are good but timing was off

We need to get to know each other better first.

I hope we can keep things going on this board for awhile. The March 13 board pretty much died after the FB group started up and I don't feel all that comfortable with the personal identity aspect of joining a FB group (definitely not this early in the game).

@mal922‌ I wondered if you were on the March 2013 BMB when I saw your child's age. I was on there a lot until I had my daughter. That was when I found FB easier. But I do before the message boards over FB.
