S15 on TB ::facepalm::

[anewadventure]

Ladies, I don't "go" here - I just wanted to point out a particular example of the shit you left behind.

TB has already degenerated into a horrifying puddle of stupid.

Best of luck from the S14 board!

Anyone want to take bets on how long it will be before people start doing the baking soda test?

Pee in some baking soda - if it fizzes, you're having a boy. If not, girl.

Very important that is is baking soda and not powder. If you use baking powder, the test is invalid!

someone posted about "gender tests" too. That was mentioned. I can't even with that level of stupid. Good god. 

[nocatanywhere]

I feel tempted to go find that study that says eating more sugary cereal while pregnant increases your chances of having a boy just to be a troll.

I've wanted to throat punch that HeatherLee girl ever since she posted about getting pregnant through prayer.

I would have held her down for you! What an idiot! 

[tngrl3]

I can't even. Are they serious? I mean there is a 50/50 shot of getting it right....

"We are having a blood test in two weeks to find out early!"

Thanks for driving up my healthcare costs so you know what color to paint your nursery.

[dagnybb]

Oh they already went there with the baking soda predicting.

Yeeeeah. I'd never ventured into the month groups and did today.



I haven't totally de-Bumped, mostly because I'm lazy right now, but I have to say the crazy has gone up. Things used to get acidic, but dear gawd, I think I killed some brain cells today.

[lilo]

I feel sort of bad that I can't go lurk on the crazy but I requested an account and content deletion and I'm stuck in the 48 hour window until Sunday.

Yikes. I feel like I dodged a bullet by not being in a BNB with those "mommies!!!" So much dumb.

[midnightsun]

I'm sorry but I followed the link over and thought I'd check the first page of the Sept15 group and found this.
I can not even believe the level of stupidity.

As someone who has spent a lot of time working with youth affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder so many of these comments make me want to puke. I am soooooooooo happy this group was created so I can avoid raising my blood pressure reading that crap.

I really hope some of the ridiculous comments are Bad Apples trying to mess sigh TB, because the vodka girl would have me ready to call social services.

[obie1680]

My parents were foster parents growing up and we had many kids that lived with us who had fetal alcohol syndrome it's sad because it's so preventable. I know here in MA when you get admitted to labor & delivery you get drug & alcohol tested after you deliver testing positive the assign a social worker to u to see if your fit to take your child home.

Holy crap that booze thread....

[ProfEDD]

I bet 50% of them come back in about 10 weeks going, "I was RIGHT!! EHRMAGAH mother's intuition is real!!"

Yea. Wtf? The girl who said she got "piss drunk" a few times during her pregnancy??

[MrsEmuTavi]

The booze thread has me ditto be tied! Some of the ignorance! The person who got trashed a few times especially. And the baby names thread... I have no words. To each his own and all but I still feel bad for some of the kids. A name tells a lot about a person, I personally will eventually be looking for a name that can grow with my child.

[SubtleGrandeur]

Oh wow... I'm typically just a social drinker, so I don't understand how someone can't give it up for 10 months. It actually doesn't even sound good to me right now.

[MrsEmuTavi]

Thanks theophania for clearing that up.

The sad part is, it's the blind leading the blind over there. There are very few STMs or anyone with some wisdom and experience. The whole board will be full of bad information, superstition and dangerous levels of puppies and unicorns or whatever. They lost anyone who could set them straight and it's a recipe for disaster.

There's a thread by an 18 year old girl whose bf wants her to give the baby up and she sounds distressed. She got two responses. Meanwhile everyone's squeeing about baking soda tests and Facebook groups. I get that it's hard to know what to say to an internet stranger in that situation but the poor girl clearly wanted some support. Just sad.

[butternut]

The stupid over there is ridiculous. I can't stand that they keep referring to each other as mommy. I would never call a friend mommy or ask what other mommies are doing. VOM

So we shouldn't start calling you Mommy Butternut?

Guys. Has indogbeersiveonlyhadone come over here yet? I sort of thought she would have and now I'm confused about why she's still there with all that stupid...

I haven't seen her come over yet. I was really surprised she kept post over there when all the shit went down.
