Other Nest Boards?
Has anyone ventured onto other nest boards? I was just browsing some, and some of them are not very welcoming. At all.
There were some girls on the Relationships board looking for some honest advice, and they were just being mean and not taking her thread seriously.
I think I'm going to stick to the DFW board!

I read them sometimes for entertainment... the buying a home one was particularly comical. I never posted though.
hahah. Yeah, I recognized some of the people on Relationships. They used to be on Snarky Brides, years ago. I remember them from when I was engaged before DH, and was on TK.
I just kind of feel bad for the people who come here really seeking advice about marriage and all they get in response is crap. I mean you have to think, if they're coming to a public forum for advice they're probably pretty desperate and at their last resort anyway, so they probably really do need help.
I'm just too empathetic of a person I suppose, to ever be mean to someone who is really asking for advice on marriage, or relationships, or a tough situation that they're struggling with in general. I mean, y'all know I have my snarky moments, but not when I can tell someone is genuinely needing help.
I won't hold it against you. Much.
Kidding!
I was just lurking on TB.... weird, I know.
Pumping at airports, day care costs, lap child on airplane.
Yep, so not ready for that.

Tiffany,
I'm not ready for pumping at airports. Or anywhere else for that matter.
Brianna,
I "contacted" you.
I can see making fun of someone for wanting to use fish for centerpieces. But not for trying to ask advice on intimate problems like their relationship.
Whoa whoa whoa. Fish centerpieces. Let's leave those on TK.
((headdesk))

But, but, but, I'm using them at the prom. The kids will love it!
I'm bursting with laughter at both Brianna and Summer's last comments!
Literally bursting.
Like from your boob?
Bio
Ditto. I get it is natural and all that but I find it weird.
As for the rest of the boards, I read the Entertainment board every day but don't post. I posted once on Family Matters like 2 years ago and got ripped to shreds. They misread what you say and when a regular misinterprets what you say then everyone thinks that what they said is right and don't bother reading any follow up post to get the story. Um, yeah, not a fun experience. Now I just lurk on Family Matters, sometimes Married Life, Money Matters and sometimes relationship but I enjoy Money Matters. Lately I've been reading on 9 to 5. BUT just like the international boards on TK, the advice they give is great I think but they don't always express it very nicely.
EW.
Fish=valid reason to make fun.
Haha... I just had to take it to the next step, didn't I?
Bio
You would be surprised the number of fish centerpeice threads that come up.
Dang it BRIANNA! Quit the TK talk!
Bio
I agree. Why does the company that runs this site feel the need to change the terms of things like that from one site to the next? Stupid.
On that same note, Brianna, I replied to your contact.
Yep after our cruise next we we will start trying. I'm just not sure I can be a "bumpie". It's like reading horror stories sometimes. I'd rather just not know, even if it does happen to me I'll talk to my mom and my sister and be done. I don't like giving to much TMI especially about things that come out of you!!
I lurk once in a while on a few boards (mostly just for some really funny stuff, there was one thread one time on S&R about using saran wrap for a back up condom...DH and I were rolling! I'll link it if I can find it again).
I only post on the crafts board though (other than here). Some of the girl can be pretty mean, but then there are just some post that make you sit back and say "what?!?!"
Julie- Totally agree, breastfeeding is natural but please not totally in public, it doesn't take that long to go walk outside or in a corner with your back to the room (does it? I add this because I don't have kids so you can totally blast me away if I'm wrong lol)
I HATE that argument. Your baby doesn't know the bathroom from the eiffel tower. It's you with the problem Get. Over. It.
I haven't spent any time on any other Nest boards. However, while lurking on TK, I saw a post from Kathy about TTC boards on the TB. I thought to myself, "I would like to try to have a baby at the end of the year and I am pretty uneducated about the pointers that Kathy is mentioning. Maybe I should check it out."
I was TERRIFIED! And I haven't been back!!!
Yes, I am telling you to go to the restroom, or your car.
I will also admit to kind of confronting a lady who was talking on her cell phone in the bathroom at Target. That's just gross.
