Ok so I totally think it's creepy and weird for someone to find out personal info about some one on here, but what the heck are people so worried about? Like what is someone going to do wih it? Know you are a person, who exists, in a house somewhere in a city with kids? I mean I feel like you have more threats to your safety and privacy IRL than online. I guess if you were admitting to illegal stuff on here or someone was posting your SSn it would be a problem. And on the flip side, I don't understand what anyone would do with the info. Go to their house and hurt them? Abduct their child because you know their name? I guess I don't get either side of it.
If MH were to give me a bouquet of just carnations I'd probably be offended that he couldn't fork over the extra few bucks to at least get lilys!
He's never done this nor do I get flowers except on my birthday.
DH knows I hate carnations, because they are a funeral flower in France. Once I learned that in high school, I never wanted one. And now I sound like an entitled bitch. But there are so many other flowers! Just don't get me those.

I've certainly never heard of this happening in a "mom community" but there have definitely been cases of stalking, death threats, and swatting* that have happened to people over online interactions.
*Swatting = basically calling the police to you home with false pretences, usually drugs, for anyone unfamiliar.
I don't understand people who don't like being outside. I mean I understand it, but I get so antsy inside I don't get it. I also don't get people who never leave cities (assuming they have $ to leave).
What you got against city dwellers?
Seriously though, I spend a lot more time outside in the city than most suburb dwellers who simply drive from home to office everyday.

This! But city includes a ton of green space here. We love being outside and walking everywhere.
Exactly, I'm sure there are cities that are simply acres of drab concrete but we have about 8,000 hectares of green space here plus we are on a huge lake with a beach. I love summer in the city.
My husband bought me flowers once when we were dating. I'm not a fan of flowers. I'd rather have something more tangible or something like a gift card for a pedicure.
I could never live in NYC. Im fine living in one of the boroughs but living in the actual city would drive me batty.
To me (who lives in the tiny town in a very rural place) you do live in NYC! I have never been but I basically don't get the difference. Is there even an actual NYC or does Manhattan=The city. #alliknowaboutnycilearnedonsexandthecity

Me too! My town has 600 people, a gas station, a church, 3 bars/restaurants, an elementary school and lots of farms. Although I feel like I get a bit of both worlds because we live 40 minutes from a big city and go there often.

Ah yea! I mean i cant live in manhattan. I call that nyc.
ETA if i tell my friends "lets go to a restaurant in the city" it means manhattan.
If you are smoking at a playground, I will judge you. Keep it outside the fence, man. It's not just your kids you're releasing second hand smoke on, it's the other kids and parents around you, too.

Ditto. And we have joint accounts so he's soending our money in that nonsense!
Ryan gosling reminds me of younger Leo. I think they both look like total babies (not anymore for Leo) and I feel old. Clooney is way better because I like them mature looking!
I wish parents wouldn't let their kids bring toys (like toy trucks) to the toddler playground because then my kid freaks out and only wants that truck.
This just happened at the mall. It was also near his witching hour so he was already cranky. Fun trip.

Ugh yes. Substitute playground for zumbini class. Theres one mom that totally annoys me bc she does it all the time. "Oh he didnt want to leave it in the car". Im sorry... Youre the mom, leave the toy in the effin car. You let your kid bring the car to class bc you didnt want him to flip now the rest of the moms have kids flipping bc they want the dumb car annnnnd now none of them are participating in the class. Thanks for making me waste my money.
