Yeah that's a different kind of crazy with all that. Doesn't seem like the mods can win. I don't know how I would feel if someone was constantly distracting the community. I would say they gave her a warning and if she does it again, she'll get the ban hammer. But she won't do it again because she's smart enough to know and follow the TOU. Kinda sucks for M15.
I was reading this one last night when I finally got to bed, instead of sleeping you know. Parenting is one hell of a hot mess right now. I'm perfectly happy over here with all you biches.
I'm still trying to read through this mess.
I'm confused with the parenting board as a whole. Is it that most of the ladies have been a part of TB for a really long time? Are they all friends IRL / outside of TB? I can't understand the drama without the context...
Ya i was very frustrated just reading that post on parenting. So lame to start vague drama. If anyone figured it out I hope they post here to let us know. Curiosity gets the best of me.
I haven't lurked over there much, but went just now, I am anxiously waiting for someone to comment on the cray who didn't realize you're not supposed to keep a 3 month old up for 8 consecutive hours!

This is what I took away from the parenting thread:

I mean did she fall asleep in middle school and wake up married with a baby? How do you not have a swing, or put Lo down for a nap? Not know babies need a lot of sleep? If you can log in and figure out a screen name and the computer- wth can't you figure out your baby needs sleep?
Exactly what I thought, you clearly know how to use the Internet to ask internet strangers about baby sleep, how the heck did you not compile at some point in your life that babies sleep tons, like multiple naps a day. Even MH who knew very little about babies before this one popped into our world knew of the sacred mid day nap (cause of the multitude of people around us who are so protective of it for their children).
Okay, to be honest, when baby girl was about 3 weeks or 4 weeks old I was so caught up in keeping baby girl happy and entertained that I actually forgot she needed help to fall alseep sometimes. This was right after she made the transition from just sleeping spontaneously to needing me to stop doing things so she could settle down. I spent a several days trying to keep her from crying by bouncing her around the house, showing her toys, taking her outside, when all the poor baby wanted to do was sleep. (She was still taking naps, just not as many as she needed.) Finally I came on here again and figured out the EASY routine which reminded me that naps are part of baby girl's activity rotation. Everything immediately clicked and she was waaay happier.
I hope this post looks right...I'm on tablet now and it's hard to tell how this will turn out.
@flockofmoosen I did exactly the same thing around 7 weeks. I didn't notice until then that DS had stopped just falling asleep randomly. We also started EASY at that time and still follow it. But I've been battleing the 30 min nap for 2 months now!
@becole42: as a mod, I trusted that "BJ" was on the other end going to bat for us (mods and the greater bump community) the same way we as mods were asked to do. Finding out that she wasn't who we understood her to be feels like a betrayal. That's how I see it.
@kitchencolors Make sense to me. I thought the mods knew the reasons for the bannings before and agrees, but sounds like they didn't know the details but were trusting BJ. And then found out she's no longer the same person.
All of that stuff is really weird. To even think about the corporation behind the scene of this "free app" is a little disconcerting. We're all being used- and who knows for what purpose.
For advertising, we're here to drive up the page visits with our tomfoolery. Probably why they play fast and loose with the big dramz threads. The bans came because those members were directing others away from the site, and to a competitor.
That's one of the reasons I never posted pics here that showed my face and haven't posted any of LO. I do post on FB but limit that and try to keep privacy settings tight. It's not foolproof but nothing online is.
I kept expecting that Jen person to come back and maybe GBCB or something. I was legit shocked when they found the real owner of the pics. Crazy! And really sad that someone would spend a year of their lives doing that.
No one finds it weird that the Swedish chick who just found out her identity was "stolen" sent pictures with her full name to total strangers to post on a message board while shutting down her own social media?

Wait, what?! Even more happened after 16 pages? Must go back and keep reading...

Yup I read 21 pages. Basically the found the girl who's photos were stolen. She sent pics to "prove" her identity and say Jen is fake. Jen turned out to be Ana. She made up the entire Jen persona because she is lonely and doesn't have friends and likes babies. Sounds sad.

There's some serious shit going down on SAHM and Parenting.
But really, swing by SAHM's.
PS I think I have an old man in a shirt with the song Got Bukake? Must find tonight when I get home from work.
