Monday B*tchfest | 3.6.17

jaxx723 · March 2017

I'm just in a grouchy funk. I don't get out much and I'm tired so my 2 year old is bouncing off the walls. I just want to nap and I have to be productive. Small rant and luckily I have help on the way but still, gr.

Co-worker who is supposed to close with me on Monday nights called out. Again. He took a vacation day on Thursday. Ok fine. He calls out on Friday. Whatever. He has the weekends off. And then he calls out today. That's 5 days in a row he's had off. Yeah I know, something serious might have happened. Except I'm fairly sure it didn't. How do I know? Because back when he had FMLA he would call out ALL THE TIME. He would go months where he didn't have a full 40 hours a week. Bad habits die hard. Oh, and he texted me today telling me they had opened a Publix in a city somewhat close by. So yeah. Nothing dire.

@sjohns08 and @JessDG I have a lab and he has also been super clingy and has been barking at everything lately. Grrrrrrrr.

I guess my Monday BF would be that I have a female coworker that I think is angry that I'm pregnant and it's starting to get old. Like I'm still doing my job, get over yourself.

Sprinkles · March 2017

Wow, I had to click this thread to see what all the bytching could possibly be about, if you are pregnant and happy about it why not focus on being happy and enjoying it - instead of all the complaining geez lol
I mean yea we all have our off day but woooow being mad cause people post new threads like this is an elite club and you all have to control it - do you work for the Bump? is this their rule? or one big old dominant mommy to be out there who wants to run the show. it reminds me of the school yard bully... no one talks unless I say so!
Get over yourself.
The only thing worth bytching about on this website is the women who have to bytch about everything and control everything until there is no fun left to be had.
Well. Screw you ladies, I have yet to post any random threads but if I want to ..guess what.... I will.
Suck it up.

@jessafishy
I felt it was for the greater good.

riababy4 · March 2017

@sprinkles I think I agree. It does remind me of bullies in school. I posted a threat and got anxiety that I might have missed one about it already being there. I left the October 15 bump board because of bitching and bullying. Girls would keep talking about their private group where they bitch about people from the board. Not good mum behaviour. Makes people feel horrible.

@AiramH
Glad I'm not alone! I'm just looking to chat here and there I don't need a million rules and criticism
Think I'm going back to baby center

@sprinkles First of all, wow who's really getting nasty here? "Screw you ladies"??

Second, yes TB is different than BBC. The reason why we have so many regular threads that everyone can contribute to is they allow us to really get to know eachother. When there are a million random symptom threads that could be put in an already existing thread, it pushes those regular threads to the bottom and to previous pages. Then no one can find them.

I've formed fantastic relationships on other Bump boards I've been on and we all want that same thing from this board.

Here's the thing, this place is not somewhere for people to post and get squees and attention and then never post to anyone else for support.

That is what is so annoying about this. Not because we are just "uptight and formal" but because these are people who are only here for themselves and that's not what this is about.

@Sprinkles - Just in case you missed my explanation for not liking people who post their own special threads.

@AiramH I mean, is threatening to go to another forum really necessary? Let's not split hairs here.

riababy4 · March 2017

@jessafishy not really a threat, is it. Obviously some people feel uncomfortable. I think you should accept that. We are not all the same. We all have one thing in common here, we are all pregnant and excited about our babies. Maybe we can just build on that.

jessafishy · March 2017

Feeling uncomfortable means the rest of us should just let the board go to chaos? I've been through this before, things will settle down and the routine will fall into place.

You know the people who really need support? The ones going through something scary or truly tragic? Their stuff gets lost in the noise of all the unnecessary threads that should have gone in a specific place. It's not about control or bullying or not being welcoming. It's making sure we can get to know everyone and support those who really need it.

Sorry if it's not being done the way you would like.

I agree... especially the last bit. Hence why I'm back

Todays b*fest goes out to me...
I'm seriously tired of feeling so unlike myself. Tired all the time, nauseous and picky about what I want to eat. Short fuse w my girls, and poor DH comes home from super long days at work and picks up the slack at home w cleaning, picking up, etc etc etc.
I'm counting down the days til week 13ish when I know (and hope) to feel more like myself bc this whole feeling useless gig needs to end. Pronto

mrs_fogue · March 2017

Now that I'm feeling half way normal today and can sift through this mess:

@sprinkles if you don't like complaining and negativity, why did you come to a weekly post call "Monday Bitchfest"? I mean the point of the post is to let your rage out. And there are over 300 of us gals in here now so we won't all agree on the running of the board. I can say that this boards formality is set us just exactly like all the other BMBs in this community, just take a look through some of the others. I think it's safe to say The Bump members for the most part like the formality of scheduled posts and to keep things tidy, not cluttered with the same symptom thread over and over again. The beautiful thing about the internet is if you like a more random informal approach, I'm sure there are other boards and groups out there. I'll take the "screw you ladies" comment with a grain of salt and hope you are having an exceptionally moody day. Lets all be nice!!!

migdala · March 2017

I fall somewhere in the middle of @sprinkles and @jessafishy. It is nice to have organized, predictable weekly posts. But on the other hand, I hardly ever look at the Symptoms thread because most of them are redundant (no offense meant - I know we're all nauseated and it's definitely nice to commiserate about that at times!). So when a scared mom posts about a concerning symptom in a brand new thread, I don't mind that at all, because I'm more likely to see it than if she were to just go to the Symptoms thread and maybe I can offer her some needed support. And it also makes it easier for me to follow up and see what's going on with specifically her over the course of a few days. So TL;DR - organization is nice, but I don't think we should flame scared moms or newbies who are just excited about participating.

ETA that when I'm frantically googling a symptom I'm worried about (happened more in my last loss pregnancy than this one, but still happens) I'm SO grateful for the one-off threads dedicated to that specific symptom. I have found so much information as a result of those posts that I never would've found if they'd just been in a general Symptoms thread.

I never did like bullies

mrs_fogue · March 2017

Wow! I think you're the one acting like a bully. Why you gotta come in here calling names and stirring drama?

jessafishy · March 2017

Whatever helps you sleep at night @Sprinkles.

It seems to me like you have just decided you do not like me and were looking to start a fight.
