Creating a new group!

Pinkwednesdayeverday · April 2015

I've noticed a trend of some rude/cruel responses and can't help but feel the negativity on this board.
I'd like to invite whoever is interested to my board. It will be called Nov'15 Positivity Board. God bless!

Amstreagle · April 2015

Why rude or cruel. It's honesty. We don't sugar coat here.

Pinkwednesdayeverday · April 2015

This is my observation and opinion. Y'all don't have to agree which is why I created a board for women who are looking for a different kind of support. If you don't like it don't join.

We can pick up our toys and stomp to a new playground on the internet now? WTF, TB? I'm making a board called Eff the Pussies then.

Be careful... TB police are out in force! If any of the sensitive types see this they might report you! Happened to me....

ShianeNicole · April 2015

I think you can create whatever you like. Plus some of the language on here is very disrespectful. You shouldn't have to take part in it if you don't want to or feel comfortable with it. Good luck

cfm90 · April 2015

This is @Bevreg316 opinion you don't have to like it or even acknowlage it but there certainly isn't a reason to make fun of her for it. There are all different types of people in this world and if she wants hers "sugar coated" as some of you call it then that's her prerogative. Just let her be and let her voice her opinion.

mchmadre · April 2015

I made a post about the negativity as well. It got reported lol but I agree

cmb1315 · April 2015

I accidentally made this profile, so I'm not scared of losing it lol! My other one has much more (sesame) street cred.

I'm kind of surprised to be honest, I feel like this board is pretty supportive and overall positive compared to my first pregnancy month board and some other boards on here...

LinMmmm · April 2015

Weird. Maybe the positive police need to realize they have no right to control how someone else decides to respond to a post on a PUBLIC forum. Good luck in trying to force everyone on being positive on the Internet. I don't want that job.

grapesoda1111 · April 2015

k so let me get this straight, there are threads out there "not sugar coating" anything, and just being honest. To some people that may come across rude, and some people, it isnt. AND THATS FINE. whatever your opinion is, whatever.

So what if she wants to create a POSTIVE ONLY board? there are "not sugar coating" boards out there too.

Why cant everyone just have what they want?

That's fine. I just hope I don't have to run into "positive only" people n the real world when you just want to live in a fantasy land

grapesoda1111 · April 2015

@liberty1025 I'm sorry, did I say anything about how I wanted things sugar coated? or how I didnt want things sugar coated? did I say i lived in a fantasy land? All I was saying was that there should be a little bit of both, so that every mama can be happy.

mchmadre · April 2015

This is ridiculous

Ummm, your last post said exactly that? "Not sugar coating" boarss = rude. Therefore by deductive reasoning, "positive only boards = sugar coating.

I just think that anyone who says "I only want to see things that make me happy. No disagreeing with me" is a direct result of the "everyone gets a trophy and never let our kids feel discomfort" society, and I want no part in it. It's not real life. That's all I said.

So your saying the only way to be positive is to sugar coat? No how about if people don't agree with a post just don't respond and if they do respond just watch how you say certain things. It's not hard to be nice to people

In the case of facts and science....yes. If someone says "omg, I felt the baby kick! I'm 5 weeks!" Telling the OMG, THATS AWESOME!" Is sugar coating. A ball of cells cannot kick. This is not even a hypothetical. I have seen this EXACT situation in this site, and the person saying "sorry, thTs not physically possible" got banned.

It's not a matter of "agreeing" when something is not an opinion, but a hard fact. If soe one was like, "Guise!! I went outside and flapped my arms and flew!!M". What would your answer be?

I never said lie or don't state facts but some people choose to word their facts or opinions in a very demeaning and rude way

jsawicki · April 2015

I'm not going anywhere but it seems like some just take everything on here so personally! Both the people concerned with negativity and the ones who are so quick to argue back. None of us has to be on here, and let's just remember that online support is lovely but none of us know each other really so we don't need to be hurt or upset and we don't need to start arguments trying to tell people off for being more sensitive. I think TB is a great resource but I just skip over the ridiculous arguments or anything that I might be sensitive to.

efflerc11 · April 2015

Great idea. I just have to figure out how to search through the boards.

jsawicki · April 2015

Yah I don't really know how to find all the other boards either??

BeachTeach26 · April 2015

This is the exact type of post the bump should lock. It's ok for you to say people are rude and cruel bc certain responses don't meet your positivity requirements? There is a huge difference between cruel/harassing behavior and realistic/not over the top responses. It would have been just as easy to say hey, I'm creating this board. If the title appeals to you then come join.

Lol but there have been cruel responses on some posts so....there is nothing wrong with this post at all it is her opinion and her choice to reach out to others that might feel how she feels

So then block or report the cruelty. Lol? It's my opinion, not a joke. And it is also my opinion that there is a ton wrong with this post. Not looking for your approval or agreement.

I didn't approve or disapprove. I simply stated my opinion so glad you didn't ask for it but neither did she when she posted this. She doesn't need approval to post this nor the people disagreeing however if people do agree then they can converse about the board she is making

amandaejgreen · April 2015

The fact that someone needs to "leave discussion board" is quite immature and the fact that people need to respond negatively is also immature! Who cares!! Haha goodluck with the rest of your pregnancy Hun... I'm not sure your post of creating another board contributed to the increasing the positivity of this group, but do what YOU have to do. Personally, this group has really been supportive to me, this far. Especially while going through some stressful experiences in the first couple weeks. As time progresses we will have all announced the wonderful news to all our friends and family and will also have their support along with all the wonderful people here! Good posts, and bad posts are all educational and if you don't like what you are reading you can always put your phone down.... Or leave the app until there is something you need to ask or research. The beauty of the world is, it's only as bright as you want to see it. Yes, I have noticed some rude comments here... But, the majority of comments are for the well-being and human connection all of us mommies to be have! We are all going to be mother soon, and some of us aren't first time and feeling the same fears.... So let's do all our children and families a favour and learn how to tackle "unnecessary drama". Cheers to you darling... I'm glad you are doing what you have to do! I'll be staying with all other Novrmber mommies and enjoying all types of convos and information posted in this group. Xoxo

Ok. The OP makes an intro post yesterday stating she wants to make an intro after lurking, gets super sweet responses that she acknowledges are sweet, and today it's a cruel cruel bump with a new board. Makes a ton of sense.

Your previous response to me makes no sense. Stop replying to me.

What part of stop replying to ME don't you understand? Follow your own advice and stop replying to ME.

There are some interesting people on here lol

mollythemobster · April 2015

I was "called out" once for showing how you can politely respond without sugar coating versus being ugly. I appreciate a board where people understand that you can be honest without having to be mean. I'll be joining! Thank you, OP!

I don't understand why people that don't want to join or don't feel the same way are bothered by this.

birdieMila · April 2015

You guys just looooove to argue right
Drama here drama there drama everywhere
You should enjoy your healthy pregnancy in stead of arguing with people you dont even know
If you think its stupid or you disagree just stay out of the post
Maybe i better should shut up then to
Or get some popcorn

przemosbabe · April 2015

^^^ There are so many women losing their babies left and right or getting genetic testing that says their baby has some abnormality. I am just grateful to have a healthy pregnancy.

allrightmeow · April 2015

Speaking for myself I don't care if anyone wants to start a group. Lets just stop pretending that this post wasn't intended to stir the pot. Like PP said, not 24 hours ago she posted an intro saying that she lurked and everything was great. Suddenly everything is horrible and she needs to make her own group? Im not calling OP a troll but this is displaying troll like symptoms.

Since the events that we don't speak of took place there has been an influx of bananas. They play it cool for awhile and then its "go go gadget crazy"!
