Hi, I am a mom and a BA student at the
University of Amsterdam doing an anonymous, non-commercial linguistic study on
maternal language. May I share my academic link with your community? The guidelines
say no surveys with monetary gain but this is purely academic research questionnaire
with no monetary gain is that ok? Thanks 😊

They clamp down really hard on any dissent from newbies and seem to have a firm approach of "schooling" people as to how this "community" must be/behave..
I really appreciate that you spoke up for the OP who has probably written this forum off by now. It was sweet. Be advised, you will face hateful comments from many directions now, but there are still good conversations and nice posters here if you are willing to stay!
This is the first time I've noticed the creepy Facebook stalking, but I would be wary of real name or pictures with a geo-location embedded... This is quite the fervent group!
That's a really unsafe feeling.
I don't take being told to do anything very well. The rude behavior I continue to witness just solidifies my determination to be a positive voice for expectant moms who need.
Responding to posts is not jacking. Just as posting positive messages on topic replying to other posters is not trolling. I will keep posting. I'm excited to be a positive voice for the next four months. I look forward to finding common ground with you where we can both agree!
TGIF!
The short version: I said I would post more and be the change I want to see in the world. I am a person of my word.
Longer version: I've seen great and compassionate posts, and I've seen awful mean posts. Silly me - I think the former is more true of the hearts of these women... I think they're just forgetting that newbies and drive bys are PEOPLE. People who shouldn't be mocked or shamed. Who knows how many have had their day or week ruined by the meanness.
I'm sure we have things in common, and I hate to think just b/c you disagree re newbs that we can't find common ground. Still, do what you feel you must.
Kill it!
I agree, don't worry about it! Good for you.
Quoted for truth! Haha
