Thoughts and prayers from the IE Knot board
Hi girls,
I post quite often over on the local knot board and heard from Kasi about the passing of Jewelyn. My deepest condolences go out to her DH, her baby girl, and her dear nesties. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow."
Re: Thoughts and prayers from the IE Knot board
Thank you.
I know you girls think that all we talk about it babies and there seems to be a divide between the knot and the nest (which I think it horrible), but we love each other and we loved our Sushi so much. We are a very close knit group that has very sincere relationship with each other.
We appreciate the kind words. They mean a lot.
Ditto!
Most of us were all IE knotties at some point and eventually made the transition over. I can't say it enough, that the girls here are awesome. If you guys give us a chance, I am sure you would like it over here.
P.S. Also don't take my response to be take the wrong way. I'm not trying to convince you guys ditch the knot. I know you guys have built relationships over there and someone needs to be there to give the newbies advice on vendors and such. I'm just saying check out this board out once in awhile when the knot is slow. We don't bite.
Ditto Robyn....
It hurts my feeling to know that there are bad things said about us from other local girls. We really are nice...well mostly
No one says bad things about the Nesties. Promise! I think most of us have formed our bonds on The Knot and are comfortable there. It's really hard to venture over and start a "relationship" with a new group of ladies who have already bonded for so many years. I know I try here and there to squeeze in.
And yes there's talk about babies on this board and I think that scares some of the Knotties off since they have nothing to contribute on that subject. Most aren't at that stage yet in their lives.

No, there has been catty remarks...this isnt the time get into that. I'm just glad that you girls have seen how much our relationships mean to us.
Its understandable that some girls might not be ready for babies, but that doesn't change that we are. We support each other through every part of our life.

There is a lot of talk about babies and such, but there are still quite of few of us without kids, take myself for example along with Melinda, Noush, Jen, Katt, Lena.
Back in the day people used to complain about how on this board they felt they couldn't post anything baby related. We always used to tell them to post anyway and we didn't mind. Since, then it has switched to be more baby posts. But the advice is still basically the same, please don't feel like you can't post something non-baby related.
We make the board what it is. If everyone went around feeling like they couldn't post non baby related topics, then all it every would be was baby related posts.
I don't remember anyone mentioning this, but my friends in real life who have kids have: Yes they do love talking about their kids but sometimes they want to talk about other stuff as well. I think this probably applies to the girls here that are moms.
I'm sorry it came off that way. You're right though, right now is not the time to discuss it. I hope both boards can come together eventually or at least the OMH's on The Knot venture here sometimes. We understand the bonds and relationships that are formed on these boards and I truly do hope they come here and get to know you ladies. I have never had any bad experiences here.

I'm sorry to hear that Sylvia.
At least you guys know that we love newbies and you are welcome here. Hopefully, you join in now and then!

Someone had to say it.
And yeah, I saw the snarky comments on the knot and it hurt my feelings because I have so many friends over here on the nest. It's actually the reason I came to the Nest before I got married.
The whole secret to our group, as with most any group or organization is that you have to get to know us, and care. You can't pop over here and post one thing a week and expect us to warm up to you instantly, especially because this is the internet and you never know what shady people are out there.
Now I am starting to understand...

Can someone tell me what the comments were. All I know is I've said that I dont' post here often because most posts were about babies and what's for dinner. Not interesting to me. My kid is well past the baby stage so I have nothing to contribute. As for what's for dinner...not interesting. So someone do tell me exactly what I said because I have no clue.
And to even post something like that when someone is trying to show condolences...come on now! Really? At a time like this. Wow.

Awww, hey. Let's not fight. I'm feeling all peaceable and stuff.
I remember how hard it was for me to make the transition over here. Very, very difficult, because the baby talk freaked me out. It felt like I'd jumped right from just getting married into babyville. But I adjusted. I'm sure the knotties will in their own time.
As far as mean things being said, I haven't seen that, but I haven't been around much either. And I haven't been on the IE knot board in forever!
I agree with all of this! I honestly had no idea there was any bad blood between the boards, however minor. But none of that really matters at a time like this, ya know?

I haven't really noticed anything either, but perhaps I'm just off in my own little world.
We actually love getting non-baby posts. Yes, we moms post tons of baby stuff b/c, well, we have babies and they are a big part of our lives, but I love hearing about and discussing other things as well. I may not post alot of non-baby, but it's no b/c I don't care about other stuff, its just not at the forefront of my mind.

I get it. It's a little intimidating. But go ahead and jump in! And bring your knottie friends over, too.
