I'm being featured in a new pregnancy/motherhood blog during the month of October, so if you ever wanted to know more about my pregnancy, birth, and motherhood experiences than anyone ever should, check out my posts in the link below!
I can't speak for anyone but myself regarding the coming and going of the OGs who are now on FB.
Here's how it's gone down since the baby fell out of me 10 days early:
Baby here - YAY
Home with baby - OMG no sleep!
Toddler AND baby - OMG I'm losing my mind
Working while on maternity leave - Why didn't they send me home with a Rx for xanax and a line of coke?!
Back to work - OMG I'm being pulled in a million directions and getting my ass handed to me IRL
One week ago - convo with doc about PPA - Rx for xanax
This week - seeing the sanity light at the end of the tunnel
TB was not exactly a priority. I missed it. I was luckily about being able to keep up with FB minimally.
Month after going back to work and I'm staring to find balance (and enjoying the perks of much needed meds).
I'm guessing the rest of us OGs have had similar situations.
This is why some of us are finally coming back around. In the beginning, it was kind of clear that sites like BabyCenter (or whatever) had more rainbows and unicorn style boards. It was an understanding. Who would have thought this place would have taken a turn for that style?!
I sent my little sis a care package at college last week. I sent her all the snacks I want to eat but know I shouldn't. I sent her Milano cookies. I wish I had some now for breakfast!
For the record, this post was dramatic and wasn't necessary. I had no problems with @lappyfoinker whatsoever and it's unfortunate it turned out this way, but really, had she just come back and continued posting, all would be swell by now.
It doesn't matter if you're the sensitive, nice, snarky, bitchy type, if people don't like what you're dishing, they will throw it back. This is a community and I believe we ARE all supportive of each other when need be. Let's not forget this is also a public forum on the internet, so it may be in your interest to limit the info you post about your private life here.
That being said, between getting back to bj's or pie, I'm all about the pie today. I really really want pie!!

Whoa! I missed something! Trying to get prepared for Thanksgiving so I haven't been on much. By the way... I'm thankful for all you ladies!!! I don't want anyone to leave!
Hey, so my kid didn't sleep at all last night! I'm exhausted but I have so much running around to do. Then, we have a long car ride tonight with two crabby kids.
Well, IF I saw your group and IF I read the comments then it's not mod abuse if it was a power given to me by admins to help regulate social groups. But that's neither here nor there. You can't talk shit in a private group and claim that you are upset and can't take criticism when you are throwing shade privately.
Like, if there's an issue, hash it out and we can call go back to pie and blowies. Nobody wants anyone to leave so throwing this tirade out and then creating a private group to talk about what is said in the thread just makes it so much worse. Keep posting, keep on keeping on, etc etc.
And I haven't opened the BJ thread so I'm speaking as an outsider and don't know about this history with the thread or with J14. I'm just speaking to what I've read in this thread.
No groups are modified so it would have been abuse of power.
(I'm just clarifying, I don't think you actually did that nor would have cared too much about "breaking in" to the group just to see what was said.)

It took me 11 days after surgery/8 days after getting home from the hospital before I could finally go.

Jumping on the poop bandwagon here.
I didn't poop for a week post partum. And when it did happen, I shit you not, it was the same circumference as a soda can.
I cried that day...
Ugh. Same. I was afraid my incision would rip open trying to push that sucker out.
I had a really good poop the day after when I was at the hospital and was excited that it wouldn't be too bad. It wasn't until a few weeks later that it started to feel like I was shitting razor blades. I never should have gotten my hopes up.

Send. Help.

:-/
Then again, I may have missed something else.
Like @loislayn said, let's all move on and stop creating more rifts. Everyone complains it's "these peeps vs those peeps". Not helping.

Eta- wrong smiley
Private groups are not modified. I don't think you would have gone out of your way to see what was said in the group if you could have.
Better? I'm the worst at wording things.
...I HATE THE "DRAFT SAVED" NOTIFICATION. Always in my way and I can't click the 'x' to get out of if.

Remember that for next time ladies.
1. How has it taken us 3-4 month to talk about our pp poops.
2. This thread has gone a very weird direction.
