Getting Pregnant board

Do any of you lurk/post over there?  I used to lurk all the time, posted occasionally, and still sometimes lurk.  Now that I have a pregnancy ticker I'm way too scared to post though for fear of offending some of the regulars because I'm pregnant.  There is soooooo much drama on there today!

Honestly though I do feel that board is a little cut throat.  Certain posters seem to just feel like they should get to dictate what can and can't be posted and what is and isn't offensive.  It's really silly.

Re: Getting Pregnant board

  • I think another member of our board (awhile ago) posted about the GP board and how they were kind of cut throat. I do lurk over there and have posted a few things.  It is hard to tell sometimes if they are joking/teasing each other or not.  I thought sometimes they had to be teasing each other but maybe not.  Some of the other boards are like that too. I like how ours is so supportive and not like that!
  • I lurked on my monthly board and lots of snark same w babycenter
  • A LOT of the other boards are really snarky, not just the baby-related ones. I just don't get it. Aren't we just all here to get advice, to chat and have fun?

    Hence why i stay here and have fun and only lurk on the other boards like D&R for cool decorating things I'll never be able to afford and the Pets board for cute kitty/puppy pictures :P

    EXACTLY!!!

  • I know that is why I love this board!  I mean it doesn't make sense to get your panties in a bunch about something someone on an internet board said.  Everyone has their opinion and is entitled to it. There was one board that had someone call child protective services to report someone who had posted that they let their child ride in the car without being in a car seat.  I mean to me that is just crazy!  

    The only other board I post on fairly regularly is my month board on the bump-overall it is pretty snark free and supportive, but this will always be my favorite board :-) 

  • I've gone over there and I think the same thing... A bit too much drama and fear of flaming over there. I absolutely love our board here and love how most of us are also friends on facebook, so it's almost like we're IRL friends... 

    I really only ever check this board and the Blended families board. That one can have some drama too but it's b/c people are being told what they don't wanna hear but it's the truth and it's what has happened to other people in their situations so they get very defensive and then they end up DDing. But Overall they have a VERY supportive, VERY knowledgeable set of ladies over there.

  • I post over there sometimes because I chart to TTA, and it's nice to be able to ask questions/help out when needed. And mostly I was entertained by them.  But lately, I'm not so sure I want to be over there anymore.  It's a little too dramatic sometimes.

  • I like our board best. I used to lurk on GP for resources on TTC, but this is the only board I feel comfortable enough to post on. My BMB on TB was way to full of craycray for a while and I was a bit scared of it, so I never started posting there, so I just lurk and read what interests me without having to get involved, lol. 

    so yeah, love all you girls!!

  • The GP board is crazy.  I started checking it out maybe a month ago.  The only posts I comment on are the NOTD ones.  I probably shouldn't even do that!

    I love this board!  Everyone is thoughtful and kind!  I like that we are a small group and have gotten to know each other! 

    The only other board I consistently post on is Nest Book Club.  We talk about books.  Nothing to get to snarky about over there!

    Thanks for always being supportive here!

  • I lurk on several other boards, but have never posted for the very reasons mentioned above. I don't post on here very often because I have trouble posting from work and that's usually when I'm reading. But, I always feel comfortable coming back here and joining back in the fun :-)
