he he he, Emma - why do you think i am on here so often lately, while i really would like to say it's to beat you in the posts stakes - it's really because i have assignments to do and this site is just tooo tempting.

It helps me escape for a few minutes (ok, for a bit longer than that...)and i can pretend i am a normal mummy again who doesn't have to explain the significance of theories of human care in nursing, body image and it's impact on pregnancy weight, mental health frameworks and legislational stuff etc - however riveting those topics may be. lolol.

I won't go into detail, sorry ladies, because I have already wasted more energy than I should have on the whole mess. But as Paws indicated, it involved a site we were both on, and where it turned out the people were very harsh and judgemental - and in my opinion only, a bit chicken sh*t as there was a lot of farting around and hiding behind the excuse of "i didnt want to make you feel bad". ANYWAY, I've said too much already LOL !! But was definitely quite pissed off for a while there.

What I *am* thankful for though, is that I actually came to Oh Baby through here - via Paws, silver lining and all that

I am definitely more aware now of things around me, and how a lot of what people say, or what comes out of their mouth, isn't what they actually mean. I find it frustrating, but has enabled me to sort out a lot of things for myself, and have also come to realise what my true priorities are.

And if you hadn't got the picture already, you ladies are fantastic !! Don't know what I'd do without you ]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 21:02:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1967&PID=36442&title=internet-drama#36442 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1967&PID=36423&title=internet-drama#36423 Author: netballgirl4

aaah the un-attainable 5 stars, lolol. funny how newbies etc always want to know how to get them   ALTHOUGH.... now that you mention it - I reckon i should be awarded them! I am, after all, only around 500 posts short of your total Emma. It was close there for a while. You must have stepped up your game, te he he

Liz - i am soo laughing and sharing your comment about thinking mums with more than 1 kid knew it all - they really don't.

if anything all we have learnt by having a second child is shortcuts and quick fixes. plus most of the time the second child is so completely different to the first that you are back at square one again. and no matter how short the amount of time is betweent hem when you go to dress or bath baby for the first time you're still thinking "ok, now how did i do this again?" "oooh i forgot that babies don't bend!!"

Oooh, lots of warm fuzzys!

Aimee, I've had five stars for a couple of months now. It used to be if I spotted a prob I would have to tell Ange (my boss) and get her to sort it, so she decided it would be easier if I could just do it. Plus it means I can do announcements and Sticky's.

Well it wasn't just Jax who is pretty ticked, it's me too as the incident Jax is referring to also involved me as being on the receiving end of the backstabbing that went on at this site. I was very disappointed at how these people could turn horrible.

I seriously don't know what I would have done without you girls sometimes - no question is seen as dumb, if you have fear about anything all you get is reassurance. It's great here!!

I personally think that all the members of Oh Baby are nice, supportive and interesting. I must admit that I dont belong to any other forum so cant say I know how people are there.

I asked my share of dumb questions and these ladies always made me feel normal after....that is special, specially to a first time mum. I love chatting to every one here. I would like to take this opportunity and say sorry to any one I have ever offended, trust me it was not intenational....I would hate to think that I have hurt any of you lovely ladies.]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:59:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1967&PID=36270&title=internet-drama#36270 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1967&PID=36269&title=internet-drama#36269 Author: lizzle

You cant pretend your in high school all your life.

If you ever need to vent outside of here you know where to find me

yep this place is pretty wonderful - and everyone is supportive - there's no such thingas a dumb question, if it's worrying you chances are it's worrying someone else as well, or HAS worried someone else at some point.

That actually, to be very truthful, was kinda the reason i was a bit apprehensive at first of all this big influx of people joining this forum - i was a bit worried it would go to pack and loose the closeness and bond that we all seem to have - am glad to say that hasn't happened, and everyone seems to really accept that the rules here are to support each other.

First of all, don't panic, I'm not referring to you ladies (with the title) ! Secondly, I'm exhausted, so will *try* to make this short and sweet.

Basically, I'm begging all of you - please please please please PLEASE don't go all feral and bitchy and dramatic on me ok? EVER. You ladies are awesome, I love this website to bits, y'all are alright in my books - and by that I mean gutsy, passionate, funny, and honest.

However, some people on other forums (completely unrelated website) that I shall not name, are not quite so upstanding. I know I'm really a big softy whose bark is way worse than her bite, but I can't *STAND* people who lie and backstab and act like they were still in high school. Like I said, you ladies are pretty gutsy and not afraid of speaking your minds - and you do it exceptionally well... but just reassure me, that if I ever say something DUMB (and I don't mean just preggy brain dumb), or offensive, or something - that you'll just be plain with me, or if there's a problem - that you'll say it straight to my face !

Ok so, maybe this post isn't going to be as short and sweet as I thought, and probably sounds a lot angrier than I intended it to be, but boy oh boy did I need to vent. A lot of it is probably hormones, but this whole mum-to-be gig has already changed my life heaps, and I see things a lot differently now - especially relationships between people (even ones that I hardly know).

Drama makes me want to spew, really - and I'm comfortable here because of the reasonable lack of that I feel that even though internet relationships based on common interests can be tenuous at times, that I can be reasonably confident in saying I *know* you guys (or gals in this case), which is why I'm happy to let myself go LOL(go on, and on, and on... that is !) But most importantly, to be able to do that and not be afraid of what people will say back, or think, or do or WHATEVER... is *really* important to me.

Right so, I think that's all for now !!

Thanks for putting up with me girls

for you all !!
