Ugh, so i finally got around to registering for both of the sites listed here. I don't know which one is which, but the politics one I just looked at the first thread "are you proud" and I have no clue what went down on SM, but I'm embarrassed to at all be associated with a number of those people who have posted a response to the OP (even if it is just because of coming from TCF). Like I really like our little group here, but some of the people from parenting are.....how do I say it....straight up crazy, ignorant, rude. Sigh. I am registered both places and I will follow along to see what you ladies decide, but the whole situation is so off-putting to me.

I would just like to put out there that I'm also open to staying, but I think we should reserve the discussion until one day so everyone can contribute their feels to this.
I haven't signed up for anything yet but just put Ava to bed, so I might now. Mostly because redandblue made me curious about the "are you proud" thread. I think I may do a different sn. I'll let you guys know!

Um. Hi! I've been trying to lurk more and maybe start posting more...but I don't want to lose you ladies! If someone could tag me or pm with how to find everybody once the move happens, that would be great.

Yeah, it's kind of bizarre. I am generally more active in parenting lately but with topical discussions, not the random mess, and this is just...ehh.
I will probably lurk this group going forward (wherever that ends up) but I'm pretty much done with mom boarding, I think.
I'm avocadotoast on Sterling's board. I tried to sign up for the other one and it wasn't working for some reason, but when I figure it out that's what I'll be there too.

Just so you know, the are you proud thread isn't what you think. Some SM posters were called out for being racist and that's what started the whole fight with us and SM which led up to the shut down, which was bound to happen soon whether it be from us or their existing posters. I'm proud that they called them out. Nothing like that should just be brushed under the rug.

@betweenthelines my comment was more in how people were responding in the 'are you proud' thread. I have no clue what happened over on SM. But that thread, as well as a few others during this whole fiasco doesn't shine a great light on some people.

Gotcha. The thread actually ends up with a handful of SM posters joining us because SM was a pretty shitty place to begin with.

I really miss you! How's A? How are you?
I miss you too!! A is good. She's TWO now. O.o
I think I said this already but I'm planning to go back to school this fall to start working on a degree in nursing. Final goal is to be a NICU nurse.
I wish we could combine everyone from here and Facebook into one thing. It's so hard to go back and forth.

That would be awesome, but I doubt that will happen. Some are so against Facebook and some don't want to go back from it. But I'm glad you popped in again, it's always nice to see you.
I think the move to SM was hasty and not thought through by either us or SM admins. It might not have been right to take over (if that's what happened, I only posted on the N16 thread before it shut down) but my impression of the politics situation was that someone was being racist and parenting called them out. But that wasn't allowed? Anyway, obviously emotions are high all around and it was kind of ridiculous for anyone to start the "are you proud" thread. No one earns anything from it.
FWIW, I think SM will re-open if it hasn't already and those people will be free to be in their own space.

You did mention that and I think that's awesome! I wish you the best of luck. I don't want to think about having a 2 yr old. So I'm not. Haha
Side note: one my early childhood moms has twin boys that were born at 34 weeks. One of the twins had a medical issue that kept him in the NICU/hospital for 6 months. We bonded. It was nice to talk to someone in person that's been there. She also had pre e too BUT it showed up AFTER delivery. Like after she went home.

SM is back up and running just on a different domain. The goal is likely to create a place that allows registered users to return and block any TCF member for the time being, also to break its ties with the ScaryMommy brand. Who knows how the forum fair now tho. Seemed like a sinking ship before we showed up.
ampaints Thanks for the tag. I've joined both other boards so I don't lose you all but I haven't really spent any time on either yet. If we go with facebook only, I'm screwed, so I really hope it doesn't come to that.

We won't do Facebook only. There are several members that don't want that
i registered over the weekend on sterlings board - switched up my username finally so i didn't have my real name out there.
i cant' be creative more than once in 2 months so i took my fit girl guide ig account name - shakeitoffgirl. i will probably use a pic of taylor swift.....but i haven't been on that board since then.

I did make a username on sterling and McBs board and posted on Friday night then decided to just take a break for a bit while it all settles down. I do love Parenting though so I will be where they be. But if that means using 2 forums for you guys too I would do it.
