    Oh no, what happened? These message boards are crazy! Some people just take it to the next level...

    Hope you're doing well!

  • Thanks ladies. I do check by here often, but I don't want to be the annoying one that posts random posts just to spark up conversation. Each of you ladies are so supportive and sympathetic to situations that we are going through. I wanted to vent about a friend that got engaged within months of me, eloped after I got married but is still having another ceremony AND reception in April, and when she knew I planned on getting pregnant since way before my wedding and finally had a spotlight of my own, she announce she is expecting as well (before her 2nd wedding)... I just wanted to VENT!!! not get told i'm petty, narcissistic, immature, attention-whore, etc... to be honest, I wish I hadn't even have brought it up because I just wanted to vent about how I was feeling at the moment. Everyone was trying to be nice and just say that it happens or that they had a friend that was similar, etc.... THEN some took it to the next level and I was a little hurt that they were judging my character based off of my one rant.. I was having a really bad and emotional day...

  • they are vicious. try not to let it get to you. all it takes is the one person to be like that and then they all jump on the bully bandwagon.

  • yeah, I finally just ended it and said whatever, let me feel frustrated because I have a right to feel that way, so there. It wouldn't be as much fun to argue with that. Maybe they were just having a hormonal day, too. It happens. I've just been building up pent up frustration for months and I just happened to let it out the other day. Oh well, I feel much better about it now!

  • Hang in there girl - it happens to the best of us.  A friend of mine is getting married in September and she was totally bummed to find out her future sister in law is expecting twins and due the day before her wedding - shes more bummed because she (FSIL) and her husband most likely wont attend the wedding, but her FI is telling her to "get over it" (essentially). 

    I know its not the same situation but what I'm getting at is that we all have our days - you can always vent here :) 

    If this person is desperately seeking attention its most likely obvious to others as well - if thats the case, it will get old to them too - trust me!

  • So your friend is already married since they eloped but they are still going to have a traditional wedding and then reception? I don't think that's right, but that's just me.

    As for how you're feeling, you have every right to feel that way. Take your time to work through your feelings and then go from there. No one should tell you that you can't feel a certain way.

  • Oh I remember that friend!  There's always been something not quite right about that situation, in the sense that whenever you posted about it I always felt there's some problem she's not admitting to or doesn't recognize.  Actually, I thought they would end up calling the wedding off and so I'm kind of surprised they're having multiple weddings and a baby instead (or maybe all the weddings are because of the pregnancy?).  Based on your previous posts about this, I think you also feel there's something strange and that's bothering you more than her actions.
  • You don't need those people.  Look at them in the most simplistic form:  They are random strangers who have nothing better to do than bully people via a message board.  Seriously?  There are chicks who look for stuff to pounce on so they can make themselves feel like they are on some sort of self-imposed power trip. 

     

    I have always liked our group because everyone of us is really nice and good hearted.  

     

    As for your friend, eh, I can see where you'd be frustrated.  There's not much to do about either.  Maybe some distance?

  • Thanks ladies. I feel about 100 times better already!! And yes, they eloped with a small ceremony and reception and are still having a traditional ceremony and reception April 2nd. (Oh Boy!) I'll be a little over 4 months pregnant and my dress is already snug because if my increasing breasts and belly.. no bueno! I told her it might be an issue, but she didn't care, so now we'll just see how things play out. My life is just grand right now and I enjoy every one of you ladies!

  • just from experience over there stay off they baby name board and trimester boards...they will bring you down over anything. I prefer the month boards, its a lot like it was planning a wedding with you ladies, everyone is going through the same emotions and they usually just try to be sympathetic and let you vent! If you ever need me I'm on the June 2011 board, I'll come to your defense any day! :)
  • Aww thanks! Haha, most of the time we are "puppies and rainbows" as some like to call it, but they can't even let me be frustrated without attacking my personal character... jeez, I know we're all hormonal, but whatever. It's an interesting board, that's for sure.

     

    Oh and P.S. I stinking love the name Addison. I keep telling DH if we have a daughter, I want her name to be Addison Grace, but he doesn't really like any of the trendy names I do... but it has the most votes on my baby name list. I'll surely stay off trimester and baby name boards... I can decide it on my own without some people's snobby opinions haha. I'd ask "Nov 10" ladies before asking them.

  • Thanks....we had names for both sex picked out before we even got engaged...

    Go to the social security website and you can look up the "popular" names in your area, not just everywhere. That way if its not popular in your area maybe you can get DH on board with it....

  • Our original names that we picked out were Annaleigh Danielle and David Caden...

    now they're Brooklyn Grace and David Xander.... we couldn't decide on any other names together, so these are our best ideas (even if others don't like it haha.. we're the ones that have to live with it the most)
