I can understand if you volunteer & post about it, but I hate when people go overboard. Ex: "I saw a homeless person without a coat so I gave him mine." (insert pic of said homeless person with poster's coat on). Annoying. 🙄
Yesssss. Eye rolls forever. One of my in-laws thought it'd be good personal branding if I shared pics of us doing stuff like that. Uh, no.
Where my randoms at today, y'all?! Hope everyone's having a great Wednesday.
So I was thinking about eating less dairy/choosing better types of dairy and got a dairy-free cookbook. There are TONS of cheeses, so I tried mozzarella first today to see how it goes.
Every vegan recipe I've ever tried before today that tries to recreate cheese was clearly designed by someone who hadn't eaten real cheese in years. Nasty. But this freaking mozzarella today is SO GOOD. It's still setting up in the fridge but even in its melty state it tasted so dang good!!
I know some people with PCOS try to avoid gluten and dairy, so hit me up if you want the recipe. You need some special ingredients but mine all came from Amazon Prime in 2 days.
I heard icedtea is on the hunt for that good vegan cheese.

So you're saying I don't need to try to catch up? I was keeping up for a while, but lost it somewhere around page 40
Hmmm, not necessarily. You can pick up around page 85-86 if you want to skip all the gifs and talks about anal sex.
Lol. If there haven't been any actual decisions made, I don't really need to read through tons of pages of randoms. As fascinating as the rabbit hole may be!

FFTC: I've been keeping up, mostly skimming.
People got ugly for a bit, there's talk of jumping ship, talk of calming down, AEs exposed. Meh. It's been suggested to bat-signal in other boards because mostly it's just a monster parenting randoms thread. I stand by my 'meh.'
I read through the part of jumping ship, making a new board. Got to the point when people calmed down and then lost track. At this point I'm "meh" about the whole thing too. But curious, because nosey!

+1 to feeling "meh." Some boards are totally dead and need a way to get new posters, but I also expect that massive influxes of new people = more trolls, more people who don't get the feel of a board before posting, drive-bys, etc. So, meh. I don't think I will have the energy to go somewhere else.
I wasn't frustrated really with where the board was going prior to that thread, but I really, really did not care for the insinuations of the admins that dealing with the firestorm of questions online caused them to neglect their kids or neglect caring for themselves while sick & pregnant. As if anyone here could be blamed for that stuff or hopes ill will towards them. That was ridiculous and petty. I'm not saying handling the criticism is easy, but take a deep breath and deal with it when you have time, without trying to hide behind the "sorry that I'm a loving mommy" curtain.

I completely agree. I think tensions are high and many people need to step back and breathe.

Speaking of threads on other parts of the forum, anyone got time to summarize whatever the holy hell is happening in the 118 page State of the Forum thread? Help a girl out? I gather it's major drama.

I just skimmed 117 and 118, looks like Naria came back to complain that people want her to put the forum above her health. Others respond that if she's coming back to make posts like that but not respond to the issues, they're gone. People are moving to Scary Mommy.

What exactly are the issues?!
I lost track of that, TBH. But back in the early part of the thread, it seems like people are upset that the admins keep rolling out the same "to-do" list every 6 months and nothing ever happens. And it doesn't seem like anyone is actually over invested in what is on the list, just the fact that nothing ever gets done. And then everyone, admins included, got upset. Which is why I think everyone needs to breathe.

Issues with the website and content (or lack thereof). Basically, the boards are dying and it's been 2+ years with very little progress on the admins end.

I just need to know if the IF board is planning on moving. Because whether I agree with what's going down in the giant thread or not, I'm sticking with this board.

This is all crazy to me. What do people want the forum to be? I'm actually fine with how it is. All I want is a place to come and chat. I don't need any bells & whistles. Parenting can be incredibly snarky. I get that some people love that type of sh^t, but that's not really my style. I don't need puppies & rainbows either. People are being really over the top in that thread right now.

******, I had to stop reading after like page 60 & then started skimming. I'm not into this drama. I'm definitely not jumping ship to the other site mentioned. I might dial down my participation on this forum too depending on how things play out. Basically...I'm too old for this sh^t 😂😂😂 I don't have the energy. I love 3T/IF though.
I'm not on other social media because of my job, so you ladies on here are my entire IF support system. I hope everyone stays, but if people decide to abandon ship, please consider reaching out to me on a PM so we can find a way to start in touch.

On another note, I made gluten free Funfetti cupcakes.
Fancy! It makes me happy there are so many gluten free options now. I'm not gluten free but a coworker has celiac and it's so nice to be able to make good that she can eat.

MH has celiac too and he's picky so it's been a struggle. We're slowly finding good gluten free substitutes (there's a lot of not so good stuff out there). The GF funfetti mix by Pillsbury is awesome though. You wouldn't even know they were gluten free.
