Another Mass Exodus

This time it was the Bump.  The SAHM board peaced out to Proboards.  Similar to how it all went down with Stage and Linger from what I can gather.  People were being banned left & right without having their full 5 warnings.  So now TN is dead and TB has lost a whole slew of regs.  Have the XO Group Gods not learned anything over the last few years?

Re: Another Mass Exodus

  • From what I read on PB, they asked to have a co-mod for that board due to a banning gone awry.  KJ who goes by BJ over there said ok.  They nominated and voted on who the co-mod would be.  They told BJ and she then said, on second thought - no co-mod.  That's when shit went a bit crazy over there.  It did lead me to a very facinating thread on fruit snacks and the BSC discussion over feeding your kids fruit snacks!

    That seems like a terrible decision. Poorly done.

  • Pregnant and new mothers scare the shit out of me, so I can't say that I would be interested in TB when the time comes. But yikes. Get it together, xo Group.

    Is that discussion still up?  Because I am kind of interested in reading some BSC stuff today :)

  • Ohhhhh man, don't even get moms started on what they feed their kids. I know better than to get into that argument.

  • Yea,  having worked in daycare in the toddler room.  Some of the stuff I've seen moms want to feed their kids, makes me shake my head.  Don't ever talk to them about it, unless you want to get your shit rocked.  The only exception - peanut butter anything at a peanut free facility.

    Oh my.
  • Y'all. If I ever turn into that mommy that won't let her kid have a damn pack of fruit snacks, smack me with your laptops.

    For real. Your four year old will not lecture his friend. He is four. He will eat the fruit snacks his friend offers him. He probably got his preachy attitude from you.

    I do not need to be around mommies.

  • I'm pretty sure XO loves when there is a mass exodus of regs. Sure their page views take a hit for a short time, but it gets rid of the old bitches and makes room for new ones. 

    From what I have heard, no one over there gives a shit about the forums.

  • Just an FYI if you are logged into TK and go over to TB, your account gets setup over there for you auto magically.

    QFT.

    But also, I am one page in. HOW does this thread make it to 9 pages?! Also, I am really curious about the back story regarding boxed mashed potatoes. Anyone who read more than I did want to fill me in?!

    This is exactly what stuck with me. Special snowflake passing it on to her kids. She was like "he gets really lecture-y about food and I have no idea where he gets it from. Seriously." Um, if that's not sarcasm, I just....can't.

    @oliveoilsmom are you talking about all the drama on the Parenting board? I only lurk over there because bitches be cray. I believe it all started over a serious debate over letting your kid cry it out. The thread went out for 40+ pages. Heads rolled.

    I dont know what it is but everything is a HUGE debate. It seems like there are no opinions, everything has a right and a wrong answer. It scares me. I am definately not mom enough for that board.

    ETA: reading fail on my part. I have never ventured to the SAHM board. the parenting board is scary enough for me.

  • It's NINE pages long! Oh Bless you @OliveOilsMom, I was definitely wanting to avoid working today.

    ^That exactly.

    I have never seen more drama then on the Nest Boards.  So much relationship drama.

  • From that thread I learned...
    That since I eat fruit snacks that my teeth will rot out of my head and I will die
    Why our youngins are so entitled because they aren't told 'no means no' as a child
    Calling someone's else's child a little asshole will probably get you banned
    Helped to even more solidify my reason for not wanting kids (mainly not because I don't want to raise a child but because I don't want to deal with cray-cray mothers and fathers)

  • My personal favorite quote so far:

    "I'd rather raise an asshole who asks questions than a mindless drone who blindly follows. I think it will serve him better in life/future career and not make him an easy target for predators. Different strokes for different folks I suppose."

    I know this thread is days old, but I feel like I need some popcorn.  But that's probably an "unhealthy snack" too.

  • Does no one addres the awful "mingling with the help" comment? I gave up after 4 pages.

    Yeah, it was the first thing I noticed.  Then people started feeling bad for the nanny.    My favorite comment was the response, "You better get that kid some fruit snacks before a guy in a van offers him a case of them."  This has been a terrifying glimpse into what happens when SS's over here have children.

  • I had no idea fruit snacks were such a hot button issues. And oh my god to the "mingling with the help" line...could you be any more of an ass?


  • The "mingling with the help" comment really pissed me off. I'm only on page too, but so far no one there has addressed it.

    These chicks are crazy. Well, not all, but omfg. Is it really that hard to say "No" to a kid?! When my parents told me no, I knew that was that. I really hate some of these crazy moms. I watch the news on channel 11 as I get ready for work, and they have a segment called "The Moms" in which these 2 women talk about whatever topic it is that is presented. I find them really obnoxious and annoying. IMO they act as if they have this parenting thing down, therefore can offer their world class advice. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these annoying chicks was the OP of that post.

  • Threads like that make me love my siblings even more.   They all run a strict house, but when Aunt Lynda or grandparents  pops in everything is fair game.   All the kids learned very early that just because they can do something with Aunt Lynda does not mean it's allowed everyday at home. Sure they asked, maybe even twice, but after the 2nd NO they understood what a special occasional treat meant.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
