Interested in starting a May2017 Facebook group?

mzkeyz · November 2016

I am currently in a Facebook group for my January pregnancy last year and the ladies have become so close. I was wondering I'd anyone would be interested in joining a May group. It's a great way to get quick advice, share photos,and experiences.

If there is already a Facebook group started please let me know.

Pretty sure there is

pshaortao · November 2016

Not this again

And the fact that you have not at all participated on this board before is not going to go over well either.

I know there is one. I'd love to eventually become friends with some of these girls here. Ones who I've actually seen around and conversed with. It's still a bit too soon imo though.

Excuse me? i haven't participated on "this board" because of the snooty remarks and negative feedback from critical people. I was very active in my previous group. in fact, some of the same ladies who created a fb group from TB are the ones who encouraged me to ask... if you aren't interested in participate, there was no need for you to comment.

Thank you

nda_roxybabe · November 2016

I guess I am confused. If you haven't participated here because of "snooty remarks and negative feedback" why would you want us all in a FB group?

pshaortao · November 2016

Unfortunately some of us, including myself, don't respond well to new people with drive by posts or let's go make a group posts. We don't know you. And I feel very uncomfortable with the idea of joining a group with anybody I don't know at this point. So don't take it personally.

FWIW, if you even care, a FB group has in fact been formed already, and while some of decided to join early on, several of us decided to wait until closer or at least when May rolls around, because we are still getting to know each other better before we are ready to start sharing more personal information. That facebook group is already closed off to new comers as of three weeks ago.

I, for one, am much too snooty to join a Facebook group.

@mzkeyz I sent you a private message. Check your inbox

Super secret past the deadline Facebook group invites?

Oh, the intrigue!

Lucky duck, brand new person gets in after the deadline

Whoa. And words like that are why some of us didn't want to open up our private lives to complete strangers.

Candy_bandit · November 2016

mia1116 · November 2016

I feel really bad for the OP. This is supposed to be a support group. Instead it's just become a place to out snark one another.

almiller86 · November 2016

Exactly! A support group. Not a lets all gang up on someone if we feel they asked the wrong question. This is why I never log on and I'm happy I have the right support group outside of this board. #growup

lself10 · November 2016

I opened up my private life to the Facebook group and have made many amazing friends. The women there are understanding, supportive and awesome. Very opposite to what I've seen on this thread. All the OP did was ask a question, and many attacked her with condescending/snarky remarks and terrible gifs. Lastly, if you're offended because you saw the word "asshole" then you should probably just stay off of the Internet all together.

ShadeofGreen816 · November 2016

Can we not just drop this topic? Some of us are not comfortable joining right now. Some people did which is fine. If you're in the FB group and want to continue to participate here, please do. We would love to have you. If you are in the FB group and think we are all bad people, just delete the app and don't come back. We'll miss you but don't need to be called names. If you're not in the FB group, let's just be here! The only real rude things I've seen from anyone in either camp have been in these FB threads. The rest of our board is great! Lurkers - join us and make it even better!

You mean the OP that could very well be a 60 year old man wearing just his underwear and chilling in his mom's basement? Yeah. Go ahead and share your personal facebook details with him.

mia1116 · November 2016

Or it could be a woman reaching out and asking for support. One post and the poor girl is totally shot down. A simple, no we're not interested or not replying to the thread whatsoever would've been fine. Instead there was a whole lot of unnecessary rudeness.

This should be settled as soon as the bump catches your name calling. You're the only one calling anyone names. Bully!

I'll let you roll the dice on that one.

All this. If you have a problem with us, then don't stick around or come barging in only to cause more drama. You're not helping anything. The last discussion about it dragged on enough and a lot of us here have already gone through it and we've just had enough. If the old discussion had still been around, maybe this whole darn thread would not have happened in the first place. But there's nothing left for reference, so we couldn't point OP that way to begin with, if given the opportunity. You're clearly happy with your group already and I'm happy to hear it. And we are happy with the way things are right now and we will form a private group down the road when we are actually ready to. The ladies here are pretty great, especially in our regular threads, I'm excited to continue to get to know them better and support them however I can.

mia1116 · November 2016

I'm still active here. I still participate. No need to be so us vs them.

mia1116 · November 2016

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot is there any particular reason you don't like me? Or have you just decided I get to be the one all of your snark gets to be the focus of?

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot · November 2016

@mia1116

Ive been very open about my issues with you. I think you're a hypocrite. I also think your DD of the original FB post was ridiculous. You can't moderate the bump. If that post still lived here, OP might have found it and avoided this post. If you don't like it here for all the reasons you currently list when defending your FB group, then why are you here?

You don't get all my snark. Don't flatter yourself.

For me personally its not about us versus them. I'm happy to see you continue to participate as well as a few others because yall are supportive and I hope you feel supported otherwise (other than FB related BS).

I do have to admit that seeing tell her to check her private inbox, for all to see, was very frustrating. All while knowing you specifically mentioned a cut off date of Oct 31, then delete the thread completely for no newcomers to find. I'm under the impression it was an invite to join and I'm pretty sure nobody else would have such luxury. She could have come across that private message without anybody else knowing and we wouldn't know better but that's not the case. I hope you see my point of view on that.

vrj0522 · November 2016

This whole repeated FB talk has gotten old. So next time we have anyone asking, we'll just direct them to you, @mia1116, for you to feel bad for them and secretly add them to your group, because a complete stranger would be a much safer choice than women who have been around here.

I, for one, prefer to wait until further down the road when we have built stronger relationships as a group and have a more cohesive group. What I loved about waiting with my previous bmb was that by the end the women left understood each other well and all the ones that could easily get butt hurt had been weeded out.

Also @almiller86 - telling people to grow up with a hash tag on TB? Talk about a contradiction.

caileajayden · November 2016

Woah. Why on earth are people so butthurt over someone wanting to make a fb group? If the original one is closed off why is it a big deal if someone else made one for everyone else to join? Like what? If you don't want in don't comment, it doesn't effect you..I don't understand the problem.
