My kid is taking an actual nap today!

[allybb]

We are going on an hour and a half! I've been in there 4 times in the past 30 minutes to check on her lol!

How long are the naps for your little ones lasting these days?

Ladies.

[becole]

Seriously? How many threads do you need for each of the ideas that pop into your head? This is what the randoms thread/ sleep thread/ etc... is for. You must not have lurked very long as you don't seem to understand the way that this board works.

[allybb]

Just making conversation. FFS you're rude. I'm being social, and active on the board. Is that a crime here? Will you teach me your ways Jedi Master?

[flockofmoosen]

It's going to be hard for you to join now and be taken seriously after making a mess of your first post and then your sorrynotsorry "intro".

You are either trolling or trying too hard to be funny/cool and it's coming across all wrong.

[becole]

I was starting to think troll too after the Dr. Phil post.

I make conversation on here too. In the places where it makes sense, and where the community has established is the least annoying.

[bazingaa]

Geez... I'm missing the good stuff being at this work conference.

[allybb]

I am not trying to "be" anything, lol. Trying to be funny and cool? Jeez, how old are you? I'm 34 years old, I don't need to try and be "funny and cool" that is just fucking stupid lol. I don't care if you like me either, like, at all. I like mommy boards- I am a mommy, the topics are interesting and their a great place to do research and even make random conversation sometimes. You guys are WAY to involved in thinking that every one here needs or wants to be liked or accepted by strangers on the internet. I'm here to post questions I may have sometimes, reply to things I can relate to or help with, and make general conversation. I don't need to make Internet friends. #Sorrynotsorry

Sooo... to be clear... you want "strangers on the internet" to take time away from their day to answer your random posts and random questions about Dr. Phil and other not-mommy-related items without having to put any effort into being part of the community?

Oh, and you start off on the wrong foot, offend pretty much everyone, and then basically say "sorry only because you guys want me to be".

The reason a lot of us came to this site is because we had built a community and a culture and wanted to continue that... that doesn't mean we don't welcome new members with open arms, but it does mean that if you don't want to put any effort into getting to know and support the community as a whole, than we frankly don't really want you here.

I don't want to answer your questions... I don't want your help on anything... and I don't want to make general conversation with you.

go back to the bump...

I know I haven't been on too much either. Was too caught up in my book!

At the risk of being redundant...

Oh FFS.

Why do you end your posts with "Ladies."? Just curious.

Soooooo you want to build fake "friendships" with people you don't want to be friends with?

I don't need (or want) to build any kind of friendship with a person in order to trade and share information. I might ask someone at the grocery store how she likes the stroller she's using, because I'm considering that product for my little one... I don't need to "build a friendship" with her, I just want to know about the stroller, lol. We simply converse with one another, then go on with our lives. We don't have to become besties because we talked for a few minutes about a topic of mutual interest. I have no desire or need to make friends on the internet, and irl the friendships I have are with people I love and trust... No room for more atm. Maybe I'll take some applications at a later date, but for now, I'm good:)

[comicSans]

"Lol"

Lol whut? Well we currently don't have any more room for people looking for personal googles. If you just need a review on a stroller then Google it. There are plenty. If you want somewhere to write your dumbass thoughts then get a diary. We're out of fucks to give.

Bawhahaha!!! Well said

The fact that you guys think everybody on this forum needs or wants to be friends with you and cares if you like them or not is fucking hilarious. You guys can all sit around holding hands, singing Kumbaya if you want, but that's just simply not why I'm here (or on the internet at all actually). the fact that I don't give a s*** has really seemed to piss a lot of you off. Is it so hard to believe that someone doesn't want to be your new internet bestie *Gasp* lol!

SHIT? we're all grown ups here. for the most part.

Why are you here, seriously?

Okay, I have stayed away from this conversation for ages because my mother taught lessons in life that most days I choose to live by...(today I've decided it's time to ignore)!

Seriously, stop it, no one wants to be besties singing Kumbaya. WE ALL ENDED UP HERE FOR THE SAME FUCKING REASONS AS YOU! We were looking for information from people experiencing similar things to us. The difference between us and you, is even when we're snarky, we're good to one another, for no other reason than there's a human being on the other side of the screen. 

So if you had taken a moment to get to know the tone (which if you were a lurker on TB) you'd know; r-word, very not cool, in any capacity. Anti-feminist opinions, don't go over well with this group of women. Long time regs who we all get along with well get tongue-lashed for innocuously racist comments. And you know what, she apologized sincerely, commented that she had more to learn. And all is forgiven. 

Most of us will likely never meet due to cost of flights, inability to get away from the kiddo, just the plain ol lack of time. We come here because like many pp have mentioned, we've built a community. We're happy to welcome new people in, as you may have noticed we've done with other newbs recently. 

I feel pretty confident saying, this board just doesn't do bitch.

This whole thread is a giant example of inappropriate "lol"'s....

Welp. I tried to insert a cheering, clapping gif in response to kittyriot 's post but I can't gif. Brava!. Bravo!. Hip hip Hooray! Three cheers for kitty!

[becole]

I think it's funny that she thinks there are still people on M14 that DO want to interact with her. Should I make a poll?
