Here’s the run down to the best of my memory (OMG I love
drama that has nothing to do with me): so this girl goes onto TTGP and makes
her own post (not in a thread), which is already against board policy (no big
deal if you do it and apologize and move over to the intro thread), that
basically says, “it’s nine days before my period and I took a test but it is
negative… but like I’m sure I am
pregnant. When is too early to test?” Okay, so not that bad… then people start
responding and saying how this type of post doesn’t really belong in TTGP (and
y’all, I was on TTGP and it takes ten minutes to realize this isn’t how the
board works… and if you care about anyone on there, you realize how this kind
of post can be really hurtful since it undermines the grave issues some of
these women are facing who have been trying for months or years to have a
child). Still… we could work with that… but she gets defensive in other posts
(also FYI she has never posted before or participated in dailies).
BUT THEN… about a week later, she makes an ENTIRELY new
post (despite the fact that it has iteratively been explained to her that this
isn’t how the board works) that more or less says: “LOL I guess I can answer my
own questions, ladies, because I asked when a test could be too early to be positive
and well, mine was negative 9 days before my period, but ladies, I am pregnant.
Thanks for all of your snark and silly
noodle gifs, lol.”
Mind you that this was after women posted outlining their
struggles and how the board is a community for women seeking support…
And bless the ladies from TTGP, they found this user even
after she changed her SN and made sure everyone in her new BMB knew exactly how
dismissive shew as of everyone in TTGP and how she stopped to rub her BFP in
everyone’s face. And, well, people let her have it!
That was where the drama ended when I left… if you want
some very mild/less interesting drama, scout out the DEC 17 post about an
article about alcohol effecting the fetus… worth a read if you are bored!
PS If you are wondering if I actually have a job and what I am doing with my life, I get it. How do I find the time...
Thanks, @EmilyLove25! I get the lurking. When you're at work and have downtime, you just have to Bump! I'm actually on here less now that I'm not working for the summer. DD keeps me WAY more busy than my job did. Which is why I have the UTMOST respect for SAHM's!
@EmilyLove25 really don't waste your time. It is such a bogus article. Claims that drinking can cause facial deformities so minute that you couldn't tell anyways.
@EmilyLove25 The TTGP board is very specific about where to and when to post. I was on there for 2 months before my BFP and the rules are outlined completely. I didn't post in the grad thread because I hadn't been on there long enough. I can't believe she acted like that. Its sad really.
@supercoolstephy Exactly! I was there for nearly four months but would not have considered posting in the grad thread let alone make my own post dedicated all to me TWICE. It is sad!
Thanks for the deets, @EmilyLove25. Some of it was also lost in translation for me. Not knowing at all how that board works or what the rules are, the second thread reads as poor taste but not as rude as it is when one considers the function and structure of the board.
Thanks for the Dec 17 heads up @EmilyLove25! I know a while back the moms in there were "cyber-toasting" to drinking wine and beer, So I'm sure some took that PSA personally.
Wow that was exhausting. The condescension was begging to be flamed. Glad to be part of our group. Sometimes, admittedly, I miss the snark of my old group, but what we have here is great. We're like the yoga group, not trying to dwell on or stir up negativity but instead share (and commiserate) our experiences while aiming for positivity in general.
ditto to what @supercoolstephy said, thanks for filling us in @EmilyLove25. I lurked TTGP for awhile and actively participated for 2 months before getting my BFP and didn't really even consider posting in the grad thread. The rules and vibe of the board are pretty clear even if you are just starting and like you mentioned it's one thing if you make an honest mistake and apologize but repeatedly doing something like that and then rubbing it in people's faces. Ridiculous.
I also love this group. I miss the snark from time to time and I'm sure we'll get our share, but this is nice that March stuff was awful. I feel so bad for the TTGP girls.
@LemmyRN@schaze and whoever else is saying it...Love this group!! At first, I was like "Aw, man, where's the drama?!" But after seeing it in Dec 17 and Mar 18, this truly is so much better!!
((Although they can keep up their drama because it's entertaining from a distance)).

I was also gonna mention the Dec 17 Alcohol thread. Still a bit tame but entertaining all the same.
