Most like to meet from this board.?
If you could meet someone on here whose posts you enjoy reading or whose input you value or who intrigues you the most, who would it be? or maybe its the person who makes you laugh the most or roll your eyes the most. Who would it be? Or whose kids are so beautiful you just want to know what they must look like, who would it be? ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Probably Janine and her wee girls since Paris and Maya are so close in age and have kind of 'grown up together' on the boards.
And Nikkiwhyte coz she totally cracks me up and I've heard a rumour she's twice as much fun IRL. And Lizzle and Aimeejoy and their gorgeous wee kiddies. Mind you I'm lucky enough to have already met and gotten to know a huge number of our members and made some pretty cool friendships. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Liz, I think, she sounds funny, and I think we think along the same lines, same as Emma, G and T's mum for sure, she has the balls to say what I am thinking but to shy to postand Alyayde as well - I think we are around similar ages, so I feel like I have something " in common", Umm, Janine, Daikini (becca),Roksana - all the old crew. Mummybecks (to compare our valentines)and a few others of the "newbies" as well (you know, been here less time)
I have met Ana and Nikki, they are both very funny, and I enjoy there company. Can't wait till Ana moves over here and has that baby, so we can have a few wines... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Thing is I am not keen on this kind of thread as I go to other forums and its so clicky I thought on here it wasn't like that but I guess I have now been proven wrong.
I thought this forum is to chat to other mums/mums to be/ dads/ dads to be etc... sharing our milestones and getting advise etc... NOT a popularity contest. ------------- Ann

Well for me this isn't so much a "who's most popular" but some people who I feel I've got to know kinda well and it would be fun to meet up, if our IRL paths ever cross...
so for me it would be Bombshell (especially cause we work/ed in the same field) and Ginger
It sure is fun getting to know OhBaby mums...all of you. It hasn't worked out twice in a row for me and the Palmy mums but I did enjoy meeting Janine at the hospital. ------------- |

I for one thought this was fun and a real warm fuzzy thing to do. Good on ya Deb.  ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

I don't have my mods hat on here, this is me posting as someone who has been around a long time and made a lot of great friends thru OHbaby!...
I'm inclined to agree with Maria. I have been deliberately quiet on a few things lately coz it there have been a few things that have upset me and when I logged in this morning and saw this thread I thought "yay, some warm fuzzies". The thought of it as a popularity contest never even crossed my mind and I'm sorry that some of you feel this is becoming a 'cliquey' place. I have always liked the message boards here on OHbaby! irrespective of the fact that I work here - they've always been a place where I've felt safe to air my thoughts, feelings and opinions ad engage in gentle debate without being judged. Events over the past few weeks have me wondering what's become of our community? It seems one can barely open ones mouth without upsetting someone else and blowing it all out of proportion. Please don't turn this 'warm fuzzy' into yet another locked topic...  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Im gonna sit on the fence here and say i can see both sides. This topic is asking for some to take it the wrong way and the way things have been lately it was bound to happen. It may unite a few but for others it could be a bit upsetting. But on the other hand Im sure it was started with the best intentions.
I would like to meet everyone, each person on here has different views, lifestyles etc... and I think its nice to hear everyones stories and would love to put names to faces. |

| to tell the truth, each time I see someone post, I think "ooh, i want to meet them too!" BUT there are/were some people I was really more interested in meeting than others, mainly because of circumstances. E>G i really wanted to meet Nikki cause our kids are the same age, and we could compare notes. - this was when i started going on Oh Baby - and i think most people would like to meet those with children the same age for the same reasons. Also there are some people who post a lot, and so we've got to know, like ginger, especially with her blog, I'v love to know if she speaks like she writes. that is my input, and I know that this was not meant to offend. |

I have to agree with AnnC. Ive noticed it is a tad cliquey..
Im sure its nothing personal to anyone.. theres just those who have known each other longer. Im not complaining, im sure you dont intentionally do it, its just what i see and i feel as though being new it seems im overlooked and my posts dont mean as much as the other members who've been here longer. Maybe i dont say anything worth commenting/reading? lol, who knows. But hey, im still here so it cant be that bad can it.

Well, I can see both sides of this too.. ultimately there are real life people behind each of our online names and sometimes, lets face it, we can be bitches or we can take things the wrong way cause that's what real life people do.
I mean - if you're on here in the first place you have either got a baby on the way, trying to have a baby, or already have them...all of these stages can make us emotional at times...am I right ladies!? (and no, I'm not gonna say gents just to be politically correct dammit)
Anyway, who cares if there is the odd scrap every now and again, I for one enjoy a bit of argy bargy. It doesn't have to be all flowers and holding hands all the time. As long as we get over it and move on at some stage so we can get back to actually being helpful when people need it. |

Melanie its not only newbie that feel like that. Sometimes some of the old timers feel the same way. I often feel like no ones listen to a word Ive 'said' but i think its more that there are so many people who have opinions to share.
Well said Pepsi, I like a friendly debate and hate being told to be nice just for speaking my mind. It would be a pretty boring forum if we were all the same, had the same opinions etc... I think some/me/all/does that cover everyone? needs to harden up a bit, not take everything personally. Ok I have to say this..... GandT thats a bit harsh on AnnC, yep its a message board but you were quick to shoot down Deborah when she started her 'sad' thread when she was just expressing her opinion.

Thank's for that my2angles I was thinking the samething, but did not feel right saying so. I agree this post could have been taken 2 way's and for me i did take it the wrong way first and yeah I would feel gutted had not mentioned me so I do think it is a bit of a populairy contest. (thank's Baalamb it was cool to see my name even if we already know each other IRL). On further reflection however I relised that this was started for the warm fuzzy reason. unfortunailty thoes who are new or a little quiter might not be feeling the warm fuzzies as much as other's being mentioned etc. Anyway that is my 2 cent's. ------------- Deborah Mum to:

well i when i saw the frst post in this thread my first feelings were negative rather than positive- like here we go a popularity thing. its nice that it was intended to be a warn fuzzy thread but it isnt nice when you read through and noone mentions your name so you have to see it from all points of views really, it is a horrible feeling to feel left out.
in saying that THANKYOU DEB (deborah) for saying you'd like to meet me! i cant wait to meet you either.
i have been looking forward to the mega meet to meet as many mums off here as i can, because we all share something with each other and mostly on a daily basis. we have either all been trying to get pregnant, been pregnant,or had babies etc... so in a way we all have something in common and you are all part of a GREAT online community. there will be personalities that some dont get on with and others where there is an instant friendship. thats just my thoughts **happy vibes** |

| Yeah like, this is often the first place you tell people your pregnant or something happens and you want to jump on here and tell everyone so its kind of like oh nice, i tell you all this stuff and you dont even want to meet me! Thats the first reaction but as you said Rachel, you have to look at if from all points of view. I'd love to meet as many of the ladies on here as possible, no matter how much I knew them. |

I'm kinda lucky - I get to be a stepmum without being a stepmum - haven't seen any of the kids for ages. But Mona lived with us/me for nearly 5 years which was hard work!
And I second what you said about people on here knowing everything first. When I got preg with the gremlins I told you guys before I told anyone else (except Willie ) coz I was really nervous about having another miscarriage but I knew you would all be really supportive either way.

I would like to say I like this site. It has been great for me over the past few months. There are no babies in my extended family and I have no one to talk to. So it has been great for me to ask questions. I look forward to continuing to ask the dum questions and would love to meet a lot of you that I have been dealing with on here.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the Big meet and greet on Labour weekend. I haven't met anyone from OB yet but will be in a couple of weeks (we are having a Welly meet)so super excited about that. I love coming on here cos like someone else said, there isn't anyone else in my real life with a baby so I only have you ladies to share with. I enjoy the different opinions and personalities and perspectives you get from this forum. I hope that doesn't change ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

will be cool to meet you guys Leish when we have a welly meet, I met a few people from OB when I first moved to Lower Hutt it was great as I was struggling to meet people with being in a new town adn all.
Its great to be able to chat to people online before meeting them as I found it makes you feel more comfortable around them when you meet IRL. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Vanessa - you are included in my "addicts" but I didn't wanna leave anyone out! All the oldies really
I must admit, I'm a bit terrible at getting to know the newer ones at the moment as I am trying to stay away from here so generally just come on here to catch up with those who I have known for a while as I don't have time to go through the pregnancy and threads about new babies (as a moaning and whinging about my two year old takes up a whoooole lotta time as it is!) so all in good time, I'll start threadjacking those threads too!
And gandt - you are very valued here, and sometimes I can't figure out if you care/mind(?) what anyone else thinks... but I think it needs to be said that most of the time I love your advice for being so wise, the other times I appreciate your alternative point of view. So anyway, keep doing what you do. Those that aren't used to it will learn to deal with it. Right. That's enough touch feely crap from me. |

I'm with you on all the other addicts, Nikki... I started to do a list, and Nat told me off because he said "you'll be there all morning. Just say 'and others' and get in the shower!"

I'd be keen to meet anyone who lives in Auckland! I don't care about how many posts you've done or how long you've been on this site, just meeting other mums with kids around the same age as mine would be great, I've only got one set of friends who have kids, the others are only starting to buy houses and get married, so have no idea about kids and what they bring to your life. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I have found this thread really interesting - to read everyones different points of view.... I think its important to remember that its very hard to read 'tone' into forum posts and emails, and it would often come across completely differently if the person was actually speaking the words out loud. Sarcasm can be hard to read, and can sometimes be potrayed as nastiness or some other negative thing, so maybe give each other a break and try not to take things personally! Just my 25 cents worth. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I was also including you in my oldies group Vanessa! I would've been here all day listing everyone
Am also a bit like Nikki, in that I am trying to spend less time on here and more with Hannah, so am generally skipping over the pregnancy threads and not really 'meeting' any newbies. But I guess in a year or 2, all the newbies will be like us addicts are now too. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Far out this thread makes for some juicy reading! OK - in the spirit that it was started in... I've loved meeting the other Palmy mums, and yeah, I'd like to meet the other October mummies (and am gutted that I can't at the wee meet-up soon) since I've kept in touch with them on this forum more than I have with other people... that's not so say there's not other people I'm not dead keen to meet... but I'm not going to list them all right now! I'm the same as a few of you have already said - I only check in on the threads that are the most relevant to where I'm at... selfish, sure, but to be honest, when I sit down at the computer for a good ol' geek sesh on this, my one and only forum, I make damn sure I check in on the threads I frequent first, before miss Ella wakes and it's all over! If I get the chance after that, then I go for a nosey around the site. I am soooo looking forward to the BIG OB get-together in October. ------------- Andie |

I'd like to meet Brad Pitt. Granted he may not use OhBaby, however you never know. He and Ange have lots of kids now and would probably appreciate the support and advice. So, if Brad is out there using some psuedonym like 'nikkiwhyte' just let me know . If Brad isn't available, Eric Bana (or 'maya' as he likes to be called on here) would do too. No need to break my bubble about Paws not really being Tom Cruise (though they are the same height). After spending a night with her already, I know she's not really TC.... ------------- |

WOW, that pretty much sums it up. I can see both sides here as well. But to the newbies take heart there are some senior members who have not been named and coming from an over sensitive nutcase not even I'm taking it personally .
Of course there are cliquey groups on here it's the same in life not everyone is going to get on with everyone and some have known each other for a long time and as someone else has said there are people with kids the same age or those that have had the chance to meet each other! BUT i will say even though there are cliquey groups I have always been made to feel welcome! Having said that i'm not sure now was a good time to start this thread although I'm sure it was started with the best intentions. Deb (gandt) I don't think you are negative persay you just tell it like it is without the fluffy ducks. But I will admit it has taken me some time to understand you and your dry sense of humour. As you can sometimes be quite hard to read but you are a nice person with the best intentions So keep it coming. Having a forum with so many women I am surprised there is not a little more head banging going on so in general I think this is a really well behaved site and have mostly enjoyed my time here. You guys have offered me some really sound advice over time and helped me through some really hairy parts of my life so that will always keep me coming back. As far as meeting people on here I am not going to name names but I would love to be able to meet up with any Mum's on here, especially the christchurch ones as I have been unable to go to any of the meet ups yet! ------------- Abigail 06/01/2005 Jayden 21/11/2001 Micheal 03/04/1997 |

I'd be happy to meet up with anyone in the Hamilton area, as I've got no friends..
I found this forum to be really welcoming to everyone. Compared to some other websites I've seen, we're all pretty courteous of one another and little bumps seem to be smoothed out pretty quickly. Sure, there have been times where my sharp tongue takes over and I start to write some opinionated essay about how I feel, but I usually delete it without posting it as I just don't think it's worth it to stir things up or upset others. I think just typing it out makes you feel better anyway, even if it's not posted. Anywho, that was my two cents. I'm mostly a lurker, but I'm on here all bloody day. Like right now, I'm supposed to be doing my housework!

Don't take this thread personally ladies: I feel I should have been mentioned more as someone to meet but it's my own fault for not being present enough makes me sus. of the ladies I have already met - spreading the word that it's not worth it huh huh huh???
But honestly I have met some wonderful people thanks to Oh Baby - Nikki, Liz, Annie, Roksana, Becca, Ella etc. and have a few more on my list of "to do's". Definitely the oldies - You know who you are. I feel like I know these people already! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hehe this thread has been quite funny!
Don't take offence anyone, but ITS A FORUM, if you don't like what is being said, then turn off your computer and come back tomorrow...it will all be new topics! I am pretty sure i have read this whole forum back to front and not got offended by anyones opinions as they are just opinions. I do admit to going Hmph when someone contradicts my 'oh so wise' adivse however, I realise that i am very dedicated to my own ideas and can find it hard initially seeing it from someone elses angle. Oh well, life goes on.
There are heaps of you who have cracked me up while I have been lurking around.....so at some stage it would be good to bump into you in real life, but I'm not sure I am ready to meet anyone at this stage. Its nice to read all the dramas, then turn off the computer go back to my own reality
Ill tell you what tho, comming from the TTC side, it sure makes a nice break from all the baby and pregnacy talk to see some stropyness (if thats even a word). Oh and thanks to the ladies like Ginger and Jess who continue to entertain and inform. They could be lazy and lurk like me which would have made the ttc thread rather boring.
