I don't know what you thought you would get from saying your original post Sunny41. The way you stated it sounded very harsh, like you don't consider us friends. You could have said something like "I'm going to step away and take a break for now" and that would have went over so much better.
I keep typing responses and deleting them, afraid of coming across even more of a hypocrite. I think what I was trying to get across (badly I'll admit) is that I love our little bubble! I'm exhausted, just one of those days, I'm going to have a early night in and come back less emotional and tired tomorrow 😄.
ETA the hypocrite part is that I will follow you to SM if most of you decide to leave.
I see what you mean and don't think you're awful We were discussing it on N16 and one of the other ladies said this much better than I'm able to while holding a baby, but basically TCF felt more 'obscure' than Scary Mommy, b/c we see other moms we know 'liking' SM content on FB, linking articles, etc. TCF felt more off-the-grid and like it was a bit more private, rightly or wrongly.
If we do make the full move to SM, I'll be more careful about giving out obvious details about our life (kids' names, for ex).
The internet is small, though. Only last week I realized (via FB) that an IRL acquaintance of mine is likely a TCF poster, not b/c of anything she said, but b/c of a mutual friend we have. I'm sure I could figure out who she is here on TCF if I applied myself, but I don't feel a need. Just pointing out that we probably aren't quite as obscure as we thought/like to think

Ok, I just had time to read and process a bit more. Seriously question, Sunny. If that's how you feel than what's the point in sticking around if we stay here?
ETA: and by seriously question, I mean serious question

This. And you're a pretty active poster so this really came out of left field.
Right. I totally get needing a break, being over the board or only checking in sporadically. This, however, is baffling me. Basically saying you aren't getting anything out of it and want to spend more time working so you won't migrate with the board, yet you'll stick around here if we stay? I don't get it.

I don't care where we end up, as long as we can find each other.
T got his ankle stepped on by an older kid at a party tonight. He won't put weight on it. Trying to decide if we can wait it out or head to a PM pediatrics that just opened nearby.
I only have loyalty to you all that post here in N13. I don't really care where we post, I followed from the bump, and I'll follow from here or help create a new place or whatever. You guys were my saving grace when I was literally the only person IRL that was pregnant. You saved me again when I lost Ana. And again when I had to move out of state and every other minor thing that has happened in the last 4.5 years. I've been reached out to because posters are worried about me and wanted to make sure I was okay. We are a family and I value that. If half goes to SM and the rest stay here, I'll just check in and post in 2 places. If everyone but 2 or 3 leave here, I'll still come here and check in and post. I love you all.
I just want to say thanks peach, I think you've been trying to keep everyone informed so no one gets lost. Especially since I'm having trouble keeping up with you know, going into labor and all. Wanted to post more details on N13 but not sure that makes sense anymore!
