I feel like this FB group was created before pee sticks even dried... @-)
I'm gonna hang out here until the crowd gets weeded out. In my old BMB with DD (she's 2), there are still crazies being weeded out of the bunch. People be cray! Be careful who you're sharing all your personal FB info with!
Exactly this. I was shocked at the crazies that got through with DS's BMB when we moved to FB 5 or 6 months. Like real, true crazies (i.e. money stealers, compulsive liars, etc).
Are we in the same old BMB?? That's exactly what happened to my BMB too! But we didn't even take it as far as a FB group. It all went down here on TB. And we've known these crazies for over 2 yrs! The Interwebz is a scary place.
Haha I guess lightning can strike twice. The thief situation played out partly in the FB group and partly on TB. It really is a scary place - which I was completely naïve to before DS's BMB since I had never really been apart of a community like this before. I'm not against FB just want to proceed w/ caution.
And all of these people who's name I've never seen and have less than 5 replies are exactly why this FB group is not a great idea...
We have this concern as well, and have steps in place to remove lurkers who do not post. But all will still be welcome whenever they choose to join. We won't close membership anytime soon and will boot anyone not working out.
I also want to say that some moms maybe posted on thebump a lot for a first pregnancy, but then came back just to find a Facebook group and then don't post here anymore. While that might not go over well for thebump folks, it's fine with us, since that platform for communicating is much easier for some people. It's not the same as posting here. I still do both, though when the J13 board died here, I had another place to be and share, etc.
Re: We have a Facebook group!
I don't see it often aside from our family. Haha. Not a creep just had to say it!
