Nursery...Progress, but far from done.

I'm sweating a little bit. Just over 2 months left I still have a lot to do on the nursery. How are your's coming along?

    FetchandFatherhood - Just an FYI, we are currently honoring an hour of silence for our moms who have lost their babies this week. Please refrain from posting or commenting until after 4pm Eastern time. In the meantime, candles to honor them can be placed here

    We will be living in a one bedroom duplex until baby girl is about 6-7 months old. Consider yourself lucky you're able to have a room to decorate. All our stuff is in boxes still in our living room.

    I apologize for that rude comment earlier, I didn't see it that away at first, but i understand. Plus your comment was way more constructive than some of the following ones. No hard feelings?

    We move in to our new house about a month before the baby arrives...as long as there's a crib and dresser, I'll consider the nursery done ;) priority is DS1s Bad Guy/Super Hero/Bat Cave room...

    I am extremely sorry, I didn't catch the moment of silence post, had I known I obviously wouldn't have posted...also, posting an apology after is still "posting" dont you agree? Thats why I left it as is, so just cool it.  Sorry that linking to my blog is so offensive. A lot of people enjoy it, but obviously people like you are offended by a simple link to a blog as if it was not pregnancy related. If it makes you that much happier, I won't share the link.

    Sorry, I thought that building a nursery was part of this whole pregnancy process. 

    As far as self-promotion, I can see why people would see it that way, but believe me, I did not think it would be offensive to link to a post that I had already written and wanted to share. In the future, I will repost the contents directly into the thread. I guess somehow inserting a link to a pre-written item is offensive.

    No one would have considered it spam if you had interacted with commenters in the thread as if your were in any way active here, but you didn't. You only bothered speaking up at all when someone called you out...and that's hugely annoying.

    The users here are trying to build a community. Notice the other Bumpies who have personal blogs share the details in relevant threads and only link to when asked....

    Either engage with other users here in a genuine manner or find another space to promote yourself where no one will be bothered, it's truly as simple as that.

    Makes sense and going forward will do! Appreciate the feedback.  
    For me personally, I did kind of feel like some of the other commenters were reading way too deep into it. 

    Trying to call me out for not apologizing for posting during the moment of silence (which was my fault and am completely sorry for, but didn't want to reply since replying is also breaking the silence, so I closed my computer and haven't been back til now) and they were calling me out for only posting about my nursery. Yikes! Whats wrong with posting about my nursery? Which I only posted once about anyways. 

    I think their message makes sense, but they were a little too angry while posting it. 

    Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

    My comment, if it seemed "angry" was not intended to be as such. I had a post of mine flagged and deleted a year or so ago for posting a similar thread on a different board. 

    The moderator sent me a similar comment as I did to you. I was a little ticked at the time, but now that I've been a part of a couple different communities for a while, I completely understand how people coming here to promote their blogs can be super annoying for those people who are regular contributers. 

    And based on your post history/lack of introduction/lack of contributing to any other threads, it certainly seemed like you might be one of those "drive bys". If you're actually game with sticking around, sorry that we may have come off harsh, and we look forward to getting to know you and your journey to fatherhood. 

    Cheers. 

    ETA: This is actually @mccall35, I'm not sure why it's posting from some weird account.

    No problem. @mccall35 thanks. I would like to get more involved in this forum. Just need to find time between a full time job, 2 pups, and prepping the house. :)

    Looking forward to hearing more form you!  :)
