so glad to say goodbye (GBCB)

First off let me just say that I can handle some snark. I get a kick out of most of you ladies and your responses to some of the questions that come up on this board. At first, I didn’t realize why you got so upset when the same things were asked over and over but being here for a couple months has made me realize just how annoying that can be.
That being said, I have to say I’m so that I don’t have some of you as friends in real life. I’m not sure why this board tends to be filled with cliques of “newbies” vs. “regs” but it’s literally worse than any high school experience I can imagine. A lot of the “regs” don’t work so of course you have time to sit at home in front of the computer or on your phone all day. Even if you have other children … I see all the posts about plugging your kids in front of the tv because you don’t feel like doing anything. Even if you “regs” do work, you clearly aren’t that committed to your job to spend all day on the board. Then you wonder why you haven’t gotten offers from all those job interviews you’ve gone on because you hate your current job. That means that the people that the “regs” consider to be “newbies” are those of us who either work who can’t sit in front of the computer and go through every single post on this board or stay at home but are actually active with their children.
The worst part is that some of the “regs” who say that you have to give support to get it, hardly give it. They’re the ones who come up with all the nasty comments but rarely anything positive. Just because you’ve been on TB for years TTC and are pissed when a “newbie” comes along and says they got pregnant doesn’t mean you have to be rude to them.
I came to this board hoping to connect to expectant moms who were going through the same things I was going through. I like the resources that TB offers but am glad to say that I won’t be attempting to contribute to any more of the posts on this board. I’m sure that you “regs” will be like, “who’s she?” “good job for never contributing anything” … sorry I haven’t had thousands of posts and created hundreds of discussions … I have a life outside of the computer, gaming, and wondering why my bump isn’t showing even though I’m way overweight.
Toodles.
Re: so glad to say goodbye (GBCB)
Clearly you've spent enough time on these boards to know who exactly the regs are (I could name each one you've insulted, by the way). So your life must not be as busy and wonderful as you once imagined. If you didn't care or if it didn't bother you, you wouldn't have created this post in the first place. Looks like the regs got under your skin a little bit, you poor thing!
We're all going to weep giant tears at your departure. Someone, please console me.
These posts have seriously been exactly like listening to a broken record player all day.
You call us cruel but then say some of the nastiest shit I've ever heard on here? You made PERSONAL attacks and that is far worse than any dismissal of a stupid question.
It isn't worth my time to try to explain to you why what you said makes you a shitty fucking person because there is no way someone like you, trying to show US the light, could see the light herself.
Next time you want to bitch a person out though, I suggest you give it a go to their face instead of making an incredibly immature, presumptuous, judgmental, fucking ugly rant about it.
Also, I'd love for you to tell me I'm not supportive of these women. Fuck off. And especially fuck off for telling me I'm not a fucking good mother. I'm a better mother than a TOU VIOLATION HERE like you could ever be.
(FYI peeps. I inserted the TOU violation bleeps to save my own ass but so that OP could have fun playing mad libs with the offensive names of her choice)
You're bullshit about these regs saying you have to give support to get support and they don't do what they say is just that - bullshit. They give THE MOST support. If you would've pulled your head out of your ass for a second you would've noticed that.
There's no bullying going on here, no harassment, just a bunch of real, down to earth women who give tough love and the truth (which hurts sometimes FYI), and you along with all these other whiners just aren't made for a place like this. Sorry, not sorry that we don't blow smoke up your ass and give you false info on important shit.
Wow my explosion finally came out over all these obnoxious trolls.
I opened this thread preparing to offer SUPPORT to one of our members. (I thought you might have emotionally accepted a mc or something along those lines...) Instead, I read insult after insult. (Oh, hay kettle, I'm pot!)
I don't know where I stand in the newb-reg continuum but I'm still kind of insulted by your speculation that we aren't good parents/employees/people. I'm a nurse, so I can't bump at work. I bump at home, when my two year old is napping, playing independently or my H is watching her. (Not that I need to justify any of my day to day to you)
Please go away now.
Sorry for the word vomit but the point I am trying to say is that there are wonderful people on this board who give their HONEST opinion and yeah, that comes with some snark. Are there people that go beyond the reasonable line & are flat out rude? Yes, but when it happens the MODS and other posters are quick to say something about it. Don't harshly judge the very many for the actions of a few
Also, the few tend to be people who just jump on or are trolls & aren't 'regs'
Edit for my iPhone forgetting how to spell
I recognize your avatar, so you've been here a little while. It's disgusting that you would choose a title like that just because you knew it would draw attention to your thread!
I guess M15 is the one experiencing a "loss". Lucky for us, we're just losing another useless drama queen.
