I said when we all left TD that I would never give them page clicks ever again... But we are so devoid of drama and crazy here, I lurked TD last night just to be entertained.

Andrea Not really. I looked at June16 and there's one girl who seems to get a little on the WK's nerves, but other than a couple posts to call her out, it's all unicorns and rainbows over there!

I blame their new TOU. It was sort of fun when there was a bunch of "let's make a Facebook group" but. Yeah. I tried participating over there - but can't as much. I don't feel as invested.

My MIL had DD overnight so I've had a morning to myself. I'm still in my pjs, sipping coffee and on here instead of the butt load of things I *should* be doing whilst toddler free.

Oh God don't get me started on the TB June BMB... *yawn* I'm so glad I found TCF!
THIS. I thought I would go over there and be all entertained by the crazy and the drama and be like "omg I'm soooo happy we're so calm on TCF" but really it was like "omg this is way too much glitter and fluff, I'm soooooo glad we don't have this on TCF."

I hate Christmas music. It's so overplayed that every time I hear it I think about being in the mall and I hate the mall (and shopping in general). I guess this is more of a UO than an FFFC but whatever.

I feel like no one actually gives any advice. It's like "oh you're fine honey! Your misguided misinformed terrible idea is just great! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!"
You ladies sparked my interest so I just scoped out the June board on TB. I'm totally side-eyeing their pinned post about the odds of not having a miscarriage. I've seen similar posts here and agree that focusing on the positive is helping me so much this pregnancy, but it has always been presented with so much more tact here.
Are they for serious with the "we only hear about the sad outcomes" BS?? How often do you see MC posts on facebook, as compared to the tons of pregnancy and "look at my new baby!" posts? And the bitch who told the one who posted about her own MC that she was raining on the parade can go fuck herself.
/rant over
So once again, I'm so glad to be part of a group here that is kind, compassionate, realistic, and understanding. Those bitches are heinous.

OMG. That bitch needs punched. I wish I hadn't gone over there to read that. Wow.

Sorry I started this y'all. I didn't even read that particular thread last night, but WOW, the insensitivity makes me sick to my stomach.
DH made me promise that I wouldn't use my Doppler this pregnancy because he doesn't think I can handle it. I really respect his opinion, so I agreed. Well, except for the fact that I've been searching for that damn thing to just listen for a little bit and can't find it! I think maybe he hid it because he knows me well!

Oh God, the trigger warnings and avoidance of all things negative at all costs just annoyed the shit out of me on TB. Personally, I'm of the opinion that we NEED to talk openly about these issues. How could I ever be expected to cope with a loss if I am constantly being shielded from it? Yes, it's harmful to go through a pregnancy living in fear the whole time, but it's also harmful to be in denial of the fact that not every outcome is a happy one. That's a risk we take on when we chose to become parents.

I don't particularly care about other people's babies. I don't dislike them, but I don't have any particular desire to hold them or obsess over them or anything. I can acknowledge their cuteness in the abstract, but I don't have an urge to cuddle or hug them.
My own kid, though? Definite mom-goggles. He is adorable and I need to squeeze him/hug him/cuddle him whenever he lets me!

littleducky, I also agree. I never really noticed this until my niece was born. Sure I already had DS and 2 years of baby holding recently behind me so I was kind of over it, but I had no desire to hold her or anything and I still don't. DS on the other hand cannot escape my cuddles.
My FFFC is that I left my job a month ago but I am still planning on telling my potential new job that I need to give 2 weeks notice, so that I can have a little more time off.
littleducky, TOTALLY AGREE. I'm not really a baby person, really don't care about holding other peoples' babies....but of course it's different with my own!
I had this moment a few years ago where I was waiting for a train. There was a woman in the train that pulled up holding a baby, which I looked at but didn't really think anything of. Then the doors opened and I realized she had a leash with a dog on it and I was immediately all, "OMG PUPPY." So I guess that pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject. I'm sure I'll enjoy my own children! And I work with teenagers, so I definitely like kids when they get a little older.
