Internet drama.

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 !!

Wow Jax, I would sooooo love to read what has made you upset. Hows about posting a link, huh, huh?

I do have pretty strong opinions on certain things but try not to shove them down peoples throats, as basicly its only my opinion.

So sorry to anyone ive ever offended, its never been intentional. I love all of you and dont know what id do without my ohbaby pals.

me too! I think some other forums canbe a little judgmental. I had some woman on another site (cough. treasures. cough) tell me how dumb it was for me not to realise I was pregnant so soon after having Jake. Last time i went on there! I mean, i know it wasn't the smartest thing evef, but did not appreciate it being pointed out!

Hehe, don't worry Janine - I have the power to moderate!

mmm Jax i totally agree its not until you get pregnant and are gonna be a mum that you notice all the picky bickering around you, i cant believe there are some of my friends who wont talk to someone coz they dated another person in the same house after they dated their current boyfriend Days of our Lives soap drama! lol and to me its like just freakin get over it!!! 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

But i totally agree that Ohbaby is really good its where you can ask the "silly" questions and not get flamed for it, its really really good

I love ohbaby - dont know what I'd do without all of you! And slightly off-topic, but Emma how long have you had the power of 5 stars!!

Oh Jax some one has really pissed you off ...huh???

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.

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 too am so glad that every one here is genuine and that we have had none of that horrid stuff going on so big thank you to everyone!!!

5 stars..... I dream of 5 stars, sigh

to you paws and jax!
i was a regular visitor to one other forum, but also found it non-supportive and very judgemental.
so now, i am a one forum woman! i love oh baby and don't know what i'd do without you gals to guide and re-assure me
your all in my books
