Monday Moans 4/16 / Just come here during the week to complain as needed

I'm so late starting this and I'm pretty sure it's bedtime for at least half the board already, but better late than never!!!
So if you all don't see it till Tuesday or Wednesday or like next Saturday, but you want to complain about a thing or rant or vent as needed, just drop on by! We'll leave the light on.

Re: Monday Moans 4/16 / Just come here during the week to complain as needed
So.
Confession? Complaint? Random rant? I don't even know-
It bugs the ever loving snot out of me when someone starts an aw thread to ask a question either just about themselves or that totally 100% fits in an ongoing discussion thread and their reason is - they are too busy to participate because of the app/website, their job, their pregnancy, their other kids or you know, life. Ummmm.... Everyone here uses this site/app. Like literally 100% of the people participating on this board use either the Bump website or Bump app. It's true! Also (unless one is a fakey fake faker) the members of a pregnancy board tend to be, you know, pregnant. Of those pregnant women most of them will either have jobs or other children. Some of them will have both! Maybe even pets too! Soooooooo...to me saying I'm too busy to be a member of this community and post in ongoing threads or participate in a way to give support or advice to others and I just want my question answered right here right now because I'm pregnant, a mom, have a job, the app is slow, ect... Basically just equals, "I think I'm special and don't want to wait in line with the rest of you losers."
We're all busy! It's not a valid excuse. It's weak af. If you are too busy to participate then just freaking Google it or call your doc.
My other moan-
I'm gonna have to stop cursing and I don't wanna
But my toddler has taken to randomly out of the blue, very dramatically (and musically I might add) saying, "f@#&in s#!t!"
Dang it

@spottedginger I love titted all 6 of your glitches because I agreed with every single one of them, lol.
Also +1 about the ads. For real, this is why I hate bumping on my lap top because of the 10 million ads. I almost wish there was a paid version to get out of the ads.
@spottedginger haha I'm sure you're frustrated but I also appreciate your glitched and multiple posts
Yeah... The pop up ads are out of control
Here's where I don't know what to suggest- I get crabby when the discussion/question is something that's already being discussed in a thread, right? Well... Since once can't just do a quick scan of the current thread titles to see what specifically is being discussed cause boob growth, nipple color, fetal movement and nausea are all under when generic thread, that gets tricky
My rant though truly is in regards to anyone coming on and saying they are so swamped with life because they are doing all the things!!!! All the things that everyone else is doing too... It's not a freaking contest about who's day is the hardest/busiest and the winner gets a freaking ribbon.
Eta: @MandyMost I got side tracked and ranty- I used a ton of words but was trying to say that I basically agree with you too. I like more specific threads also, just don't like the "I'm special/so busy" attitude.
Just don't ask me how to burp on train by saying "I'm too busy to find out on my own and I hate this website but I'm still gonna ask here while I also backhandedly imply that people who participate have no lives and nothing but spare time cause they aren't as cool as me."
Idk if there's a way to do quick one-off questions/comments/etc still in the bigger randoms/questions/symptoms threads, but put larger topics that could be their own discussion as separate threads on the main board?
I agree that being "too busy" is a cop out because it's basically saying you want an answer without the participation, but it can be hard to track down what people are talking about when it's all buried in 1 of 3 large threads.

I find I don’t respond to a topic in randoms or questions or symptoms unless it was one of the most recent posts, so there are a lot of things I could comment on, but I don’t since I feel like the moment has passed

Also I agree with all the above feelings
Also edited because ads are the worst and messed up my post
MyTuesday rant is that there is no room left around here for eye rolling gifs or blunt replies. @stothi I 100% agree with you. My reply last night was so delicate it loses its efficacy.
My other complaint...if there are two stalls to place grocery carts then use one side for big carts and the other side for small carts. Don’t be the jerk who puts a small cart on the side that is clearly all big carts or who puts a big cart on the side with all small carts!

@nlc8424 Ugh - that's so annoying. I too am dealing with so much policy related inefficiency at work. And getting people to make changes is soooooo hard!

Using vinegar or baking soda or pretty much anything other than dawn or johnson&johnson is a no-no from what I’ve read. At least on the straps. The cover I used everything on (because I hadn’t read that part yet...) and soaked in the washer and washed twice then spot cleaned whatever still smelled... then I reassembled everything sealed it in a trashbag w a bowl of baking soda and drop or two of essential oils...took it put a few hours later and all the smell was back.
I will mention the sale to dh... we’rr going bu Target tomorrow and this behemoth of a seat will be a problem when baby comes anyways...

@spottedginger I am glad you brought up the car seat recycling at target starting this weekend. I saw that earlier online and said I was going to post it here, but then completely forgot.
Another moan is I cannot get rid of my headache. It's been 30+ hours of it and did not go away after a night of sleep or naps. Wish there was something more than Tylenol. I even had to call in at work half way through my shift because I could not take it.
