Observation: this is the most active thread our board has had in a long time
Someone called that out over there as well noting (I'm paraphrasing) that if all the people that are posting there tonight had posted more/ever here we might not need to be moving.
For me personally it only keeps me posting with the same people. I didn't have all the hard feelings or terrible experiences that many apparently had. For those people from what I gather, moving allows them to be in a place where they have the potential to be heard by new admins and hopefully not have the difficult blurred boundaries with being friends with your admins- or something.

Thanks for the tag! I know I haven't been active over here lately and I've been slowly finding myself not checking back in as often as usual just because life gets busy. I have all sorts of feels for this group as you kept me sane during my pregnancy and stressfull newborn phase. If things dwindle here (TCF) I may just go down with the sinking ship. I have so much respect for all the amazing women here and I will miss the community.
I'm Linny over there, but have yet to post or figure anything out.
I wasn't really effected by the growth or business plan stuff but I didn't love some of the responses from admins. Something about "if you want to leave, then leave" makes me want to stick it to that person. But I'll follow what the group does.
I lurk Parenting a lot and love our little group, so I may bounce between. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
I think it's jet lag and exhaustion but this whole situation makes me want to cry. It really sucks.
It does suck. I think for me it's just really making me think about how I use my time.
I can't quite explain it, but this feels overly dramatic (the board, not your reaction). I felt odd about the bump exodus, but since the ban hammer fell down hard I got it more.
This time just feels like things escalated far too quickly. And now people moved to a board that doesn't have a business plan, nor does it seem active.
I'm really confused about why this was a better option.
Anyways, I've spent hours on this today and it's just making me rethink everything.

My emotions got all high because I went back to find the birth story* I posted here so suddenly I was reading threads from when we were all giving birth. I got all up in my feels. And sad re: some posters who haven't been around.
*I couldn't find it. I think I never posted an actual birth story. Too late?

I decided I don't really want to leave. Why was scary mommy(Hate that name btw) chose as the "new" place? It seems like a rash decision. I don't know. It seemed more thought out when we left the dump.

I feel the same way. I haven't read the thread and I likely won't. I don't have the time or the energy for the drama (and honestly, from what I have perused, the pettiness) of it all.
I just want a spot where I can catch up with my ladies, share our feels, AW about our kids and BFPs and support each other through the harder parts of this journey, whatever they may be.
I have zero anger towards the admins. I don't need this place to be a full blown content filled site. I am cool with my BMB and y'all.
I guess we'll see what happens but as of right now I don't think I'll make the move permanently. I'd rather be added to the FB group.
It's been ages since I posted. I looked back and my last post was from December. I kept wanting to jump back in, but it was hard. Winter was rough for me this year. MH and I ended back up in therapy and we had some things we needed to work through. On top of that he was traveling and away a ton and I've gotten really active with my SAHM group. Also toddler, but you guys get that.
Lately I've been lurking here and reading parenting mostly for blinds and politics. It's going to be awkward jumping back in but like so many others have posted this community has been so supportive to me. First back at the bump when I went through my losses and then here through pregnancy and infant life. I credit the fact that I stuck through breastfeeding and transition to staying at home with all of you. So no matter if we go or stay I want to be more active. Give support to get support.
TLDR Shit was rough and I stayed away. I miss you guys. I want to be more active now where ever that may be.
