How to tell if you are a special snowflake.

I was lurking M15 and June15 when I saw this. I stole it from @emilyzemily, who stole it from others before her because it's worth stealing. I just made a couple edits since we have had our babies and added the gifs. With the influx of new bumpies since the babies were born I think this might be a helpful and much needed resource. Thank you June15!


You might be a Special Snowflake If....

1. You start a Dear Diary thread. Or worse, multiple Dear Diary threads. A Dear Diary thread is one wherein you tell us some anecdotal BS that adds zero value to the board (other than the entertainment value of flaming you). Bonus Special Snowflake points if you get upset when we call you out on your Dear Diary post. Take note: Dear Diary posts from regularly contributing board members are funny and a nice distraction. Dear Diary posts from randoms may be funny or distracting, and more often are fuel for flaming (or a good gif party).

2. You start an AW thread without an AW warning, especially if you aren’t a regularly contributing board member. (AW is Attention Whore/Attention Wanted.) Bonus Special Snowflake points if your AW is for something lame or embarrassing and you are butthurt when we point that out.

3. You think you can start a thread and then censor the types of responses you receive. This is the internet, sweetie, not your blog. Once you put it out there, we can comment however we like (within the TOU).

4. You think we are your personal baby Google. We aren’t. There’s real Google for that. Bonus Special Snowflake points if you ask for medical advice and get pissy when we tell you (maybe not-so-nicely) to consult your child's doctor.

5. (I left this one in for nostalgia's sake.) You think we want to guess the sex (or better yet, gender) of your baby based on an ultrasound pic or your symptoms. We don’t. Not even a little bit. That’s what ultrasound techs do. Bonus Special Snowflake points if you start calling us bitches when we flame you or when we hijack the thread for a gif party.

6. You feel sorry for our husbands and children. Bonus Special Snowflake points if you tell us we’re going to be horrible mothers.

7. You feel the need to call us immature, mean, bitchy, rude, dirty internet pirate whores or any variation thereof.

8. You think this site (or app) is for “support” which to you means that no matter what you write on the board, we have to respond with squees, hair-pets and/or sympathy. You have to give support to get support, so if you haven’t been participating in threads other than your own and offering support to other members, don’t expect us to fall all over ourselves for your sake. Bonus Special Snowflake points if you make this mistake more than once.

9. You feel an abundance of butthurt. Bonus Special Snowflake points if you GBCB (Good-Bye, Cruel Bump!)

10. You think your opinions and experiences are the only ones of value and you aren’t willing to make an effort to understand anyone else or take their opinions/feedback into consideration. Or, better yet, you think you are the Only Person Ever to experience pregnancy and the rest of us couldn’t possibly understand you or how you feel. You are just-oh-so unique. You’re a Special Snowflake.
