Because it's the best support system you'll ever have. Because some women here will be come your new favorite people - the ones you tell you're pregnant first next time, the ones you text all night when you're up with a baby, the ones who send you funny gifts when you're sad about going back to work, the ones you ditch your kids and go to a casino with, the ones you laugh, and cry, and share your whole life with. ( @XmomX, @Hedgessmare two of my "whys" who are on this board )
The crazy bitches will usually end up weeding themselves out. Or it'll become quite obvious to the rest of us when one is clearly out of their mind.
Im still very close with a handful of women from my previous BMB. Hell, I'm in the middle of texting one as we speak. But we've been speaking for 3 years. So, it takes awhile sometimes
You know what's scarier than being in a group with 100's of hormonal pregnant ladies? Being in a group with 100's of pregnant ladies and having 1 or 2 who are faking being hormonal and pregnant just to mess with hormonal pregnant ladies. Now that takes some serious looney toons. Maybe it won't happen this time, but ya never know.
In my last BMB there was a girl talking about how her group on the knot had a troll. She found out information about these women's weddings and went as far as cancelling venus and caterers on them. Straight up bat shit crazy. These are the inter webs be careful!
Wow. This was a truly enlightening thread. I lurked my previous BMB so never noticed or was affected by the "crazies" but hope to participate more this time around. I appreciate the warnings to be cautious. And, just wow, at some of these stories from past BMBs...
I will change my user name because it seems to bother other people hahah.
I don't think it bothers anyone, they're just trying to help you out. A lot of the ladies here have been on past BMB's and have experienced firsthand some of the scary/crazy that's out there. You'd be surprised to know what a computer savvy crazy person can do with your name and fb profile. Even if it's private. Luckily my BMB was pretty tame. But you just never know, ya know?
eta: words
Exactly. There was a total catfish in a group a couple years back...collected money for a sick child or something (can't recall the details so they are fuzzy but it had to do with money). The chick had befriended all the ladies in that month and gone through the entire pregnancy etc to up and steal and disappear. You just can't be too careful...especially when you enter a baby and children into the equation.

edit: my fingers got too excited
We usually go to CT because I'm the only Jersey girl and they're all in CT/MA/RI.
But in my Crew.0 (crew 2.0), we're going to run shit in NJ.
