Tension between the boards had been brewing...

Abc123 · January 2009

Aparently the tri boards have been a topic of coversation over there at MM before just a few moments ago. Those people really do think about us a lot more than we think about them (esp. since I didn't even know about that board at all). And they want to talk about getting invested in their board. Anyhow, this is what they think of us tri'ers. Can you feel the love?

They're populated by hormonal, paranoid lunatics who want to discuss every aspect of every secretion that comes out of every orphus in their bodies.

They don't know how to use google.

They do exceptionally stupid things, like getting tattoes while pregnant and then freaking out about it. They have board wars with each other, and it's implied that the more pregnant you are, the more entitled you are to be a douchenozzle. Domer should totally be rude to me because I'm not as preggo as she is, and therefore she is my superior.

Anytime you ask what other people are going through, you're told everyone is different. No ***. But what works for you could work for me, so stuff it with the placations and answer my damned question.

When the mood shifts, they go batshitfvckingcrazy. Case in point, one early pregnant lady posted the blog of some chick/relative she didn't like who was stealing food from hurricane survivors--not because she was stealing food, but because she was fat and stealing high calorie food likely to make her fatter (hahaha, lol, etc.) . The rest of the board took it upon themselves to report the girl to already-overwhelmed local authorities, her employer, and the news. Then the original poster gets all mad because she hadn't told anyone she was pregnant yet, and the other preggos on the board turned on her, ratted her out the fat food-stealer, and she was forced to tell her family her big news because its the only plausible explanation for why she outed the fat food stealer on a pregnancy board.

Did you follow that? Does your brain hurt now? Welcome to the baby board experience.

BabyJollyRancher due to be unwrapped May 2!

My impression of a couple of them (by no means all) is that they're populated primarily by very young, not terribly educated women who want to SAH after kids.

...and what is wrong with wanting to SAH?

Wow yeah some people have way too much time on their hands to be worrying about other people. I don't get that.

I have an ex friend who sometimes stalks me on here (under an alias) and also goes on the nest a lot under her normal name....anyway, I saw her write once, long before I got pg, how crazy stupid the baby boards are. But she's not the nicest person anyway and is crazy herself.

They don't know how to use google.

This is totally bizarre to me, because the reason the whole sh!t started was because some chick came over here with some tired old question that SHE could have googled and didn't get enough replies ...

I really had no idea that the tension between boards is so serious. But the longer I'm on here I've even seen it amongst some "baby boards".

I've never heard of MM, maybe since I never used "the nest" boards, at all, but I imagine that this is what happens when people come to a tri board and get snarked off. I guess it's either to their "home" board or off to babygaga.

I am a very educated woman who has a college degree and still wants to be a SAHM. I don't understand why they think if you are snarky you have to be uneducated?

Hence my point...

For someone who doesn't like these boards, she must spend a lot of time on them to know all these little details and stories. Or, in the alternative, MM likes to C&P drama just like everyone else. Either way, pretty hypocritical.

Abc123 · January 2009

The funny thing is, their board is so boring. I was looking through stuff being nosey (read: bored) and really they have dull conversations. Maybe that's why they don't like us over here....we have things to talk about (oh and we have sex...but shhhhhhh don't tell anyone).

As far as SAH I don't know what that woman thinks is so horrible about it. But on a positive note no one has called me very young in a while (and with my GPA no one has ever said I was "not terribly educated") Aparently if you have an education and are on the MM board you can't make a decision to stay home and raise your children.

*bunny* · January 2009

i hope you aren't saying there is something wrong with being a stay at home mom!!?? i have my own business and work from home therefore i will be a stay at home mom. i also see nothing wrong with being the best wife and mom you can be and if you can afford to not work more power to you. not that working outside the home makes you a bad wife or bad mom, that's not what i am saying. anyways not really the point...

i do want to say that, yes there are often dumb questions asked but maybe they are asked by people who are not as smart as the people who are quick to snark...maybe i am too much of a libra or just naive but i would hope that if you had a child with difficulties in learning you wouldn't tease them or expect others to be mean and rude to them

.....flame away

I am educated with an engineering degree, partial Masters done and over 30... there goes that "intelligent" commentary on us ladies! LOL! ??

talk about the pot calling the kettle black...errr... dumb!

*bunny* · January 2009

all this copy and pasting is doing my head...was it a girl on MM that said the comment re wanting to stay at home.....maybe i am just too emotional today....i am going to look at the hottoes in PIP post instead.

jonsdeedee · January 2009

I'm sorry I just have to laugh. I in no way, can be considered a young mom and I have a law degree and a masters degree so I consider myself fairly educated. DH and I have actually discussed my staying home after the baby, but I probably go back to work. I like my job (most days).
