#423015, "John & Kate Question? For Moderator?"

Can you be specific with us? Are we not allowed to post about them at all? It seems wierd that every news organization out there can make comments about this family. Good and bad. But, on a forum for multiples, we aren't allowed. I just want to know if this is a topic that we are not allowed to bring up period. Because if it is, that is really odd. Free country?

Every time I go out, everyone in the world asks me if I watch Jon and Kate or if I've heard about the lady with octuplets... The forum is here to help multiple birth families and to connect with others, I'd think the minute Jon and Kate decided to take the paycheck to put their lives on TV they opened their lives to public scrutiny. It certainly is an issue we, as parents of multiples, should feel comfortable to comment on, despite the moderator's personal beliefs as to what is appropriate to discuss on the forum.

I intend for this to be nonconfrontational and am just looking for an honest answer.

John and Kate are celebrities. They asked to be celebrities once they put their family on television. Why is it that we can comment on any other celebrity on this forum, but not them? Because the way they birthed their children? Because they were once members here? Who cares about that? They should be open for discussion, good or bad, because they are public personalities by their own choice. Right???? If this is not correct, please explain why.

Thank You!

I mean she's made tv appearences in the past 2 wks 3 times and that's just the ones I know of. Then she did a interview in People. Wow, for someone who is tired of the "public eye", she sure is doing everything she can to get in it.

Good question. I understand Jon used to post here. He hasn't done that for years. At this point, they are public people. When you invite the cameras in to your house 24/7 for several years you open yourself up to public comment and criticism. Like everyone else I get asked if we watch J&K+8 practically every time we leave the house. It seems quite silly we aren't allowed to discuss them on a multiples forum.

If you do not get an answer to this question, it is very safe to assume that comments regarding that show (that I am totally not talking about right now) are off limits. I am 99% sure I was banned for making such a comment. Another member confirmed that I was not a member earlier today. Other people were gone too. I know that I was not rude to any other member and that I didn’t violate any of the other written use policies, so it was either: a) referring to that show; or, b) referring to a deleted post (about that show).

I saw a post by another previously banned member, so I checked to see if I was un-banned. I was back; just like it never happened. Thank you to the person who un-banned me.

There are rules of tripletconnection. Those rules are written in the terms of use. Apparently, there are also unwritten rules, just like in non-computer-forum life. Some of the unwritten rules are intuitive (LIKE NOT TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO READ) and some of them are not (like mentioning this particular TV show). When an unwritten rule is unintuitive, it is helpful to make that unwritten rule a written rule, so that people like me (an otherwise nice, rule following type of guy) don’t violate it.

I am still not sure if the scope of off limit comments are: a) any TV show; b) any reality or faux realty TV show; c) any reality or faux realty TV show about multiples; or d) only the one reality or faux realty TV show that I will never ever mention again for fear of being banished from the only site related to multiples that is not specifically for women. Until I get clarification, I will assume it is all TV and just hope I don’t get banned for speaking of other forms of media.

Your account was disabled? I am starting to fear what is considered acceptable and what isn't myself. Like I said before a board with nothing but bottle and yeast infection post will be boring. But it seems I might want to steer clear of anything multiples related so I better stick to strollers and making your own baby food. Sucks since my kids are 8 and I would like to discuss some more adult juicy topics. Anyone know where the adults are allowed to hang out?

I rarely post on TC anymore because of these insane unwritten rules. I absolutely love the people who belong to this forum, but am not a big fan of the mods. Never have been. Too many stupid rules that make absolutely no sense. Whoops...will I get banned now too? I forget that on this site we're not allowed to form our own opinions.

I am from Pensacola / Gulf Breeze. After UF for undergrad, I moved to Atlanta and then Birmingham. I settled down in B'ham. I miss the water and the heat strokes, but I found a nice Alabama girl who makes it all worth it.

Are you in Florida?

This is what I can gather:

There was a post about J&K. I didn’t read it. It could have been about how much Kate loves her Whirlpool appliances that she totally did not get for free and where we can purchase said appliances. It could have been about what an inspiration John and/or Kate are to all of us. It could have been about what happened to Kate’s hair and how we can help. We don’t know, because it is gone.

There was a second post asking if the original post was deleted. In that post, someone said it would be boring if every post on the forum that was not about bottles or yeast infections was pulled. Another person (or persons) disagreed, saying it wasn’t nice to discuss J&K’s personal life. I posted on that second post stating that I thought the J&K “goings on” was helpful to parents of multiples because (maybe it is just me) everyone asks if we watch J&K Plus Eight when they discover we have multiples, and that talk of J&K helps divert attention from uncomfortable or annoying questions about ourselves. I believe this post was also pulled because it is gone – or I can’t find it. I didn’t see any posts after the one I made, so I don’t know if discussing J&K is: 1) nice; or 2) helpful or related to issues of parents of multiples. This issue may or may not have been resolved.

Now, I don’t know if J&K is like Fight Club, where the first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club (which, incidentally, is also the second rule), or if there was something offensive contained in those posts causing them to be pulled notwithstanding the subject matter of J&K. It took me a while to learn that a DH was not a designated hitter. Now I am all confused about whether or not I can discuss America’s favorite family of multiples, the Gosselins.

Hmmmmm, to me........it's helpful.
The way I see it it's entertainment for this SAHM who doesn't get out much.

I don't see the big deal in it honestly. (Serious to those thinking I'm being a smarta**) I mean it's in all the magazines, all over the web and even on CNN! Yep, it was on CNN the other night. Besides their not the only family I'd love to chat about. For instance Table for 12. I LOVE that family and I'm amazed with everything they do. Now would a post about them get pulled? Doubt it. Just because some of us on here doesn't agree with the Gosselins and how they've done stuff it shouldn't get banned. .
And anyways, posts about Octomom didn't get pulled and it was ALL negative.
Now explain that one to me.

In response to Reply # 8

I am sorry but I have to address this whole post-pulling issue on several levels...

Fisrt: "It could have been about what happened to Kate’s hair and how we can help."
~ HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! LMFAO! Do you think that b/c I find her hair so appauling that my opinion on it will get this post pulled? Time will tell...

Second: "someone said it would be boring if every post on the forum that was not about bottles or yeast infections was pulled"
~ That was me, and while I didn't specify "bottles and yeast infections", those are excellent examples. I also mentioned that I am active at another forum (which may or may not be a crime, when you're affiliated with TC?) and enjoy the socialization and current event info I get over there b/c this one seems to be more about teaching/learning and gaining/giving advice than making friends and having opinions. All true, IMO. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just the way it is. So how can the truth be deleted???

Third: "Another person (or persons) disagreed, saying it wasn’t nice to discuss J&K’s personal life."
~ Whether or not it's nice to discuss J&K, they are in the public eye, and apparently Kate LOVES it, so they have to deal with the ramifications of being so. Period. I would think Kate loves people talking about her, seeing as how she's still such a fame tart. People talk about me and I am a loser in southern NH who hangs out at home all day and I don't give a rat's A. It is what it is; people talk, this is human nature, and again we come back to the anti-social nature of said forum.

Fourth: "so I don’t know if discussing J&K is: 1) nice; or 2) helpful or related to issues of parents of multiples. This issue may or may not have been resolved."
~ Is it either? Neither? Does it matter?!?!? Are we not allowed to discuss things not related to nipples and cloth diapers and birthday parties in a public outlet? Are these topics that are meant to be in PMs only? Seriously?!? Again, it would be biased, discriminatory, and completely anti-social to think any of us had to do so.

Lastly: "Now, I don’t know if J&K is like Fight Club, where the first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club (which, incidentally, is also the second rule)"
~ LMFAO

This is a good question. I guess they are deleting all negative comments. That's why nothing Feisty writes lasts longer than 12 hours before it gets deleted. I do understand why her posts get deleted. I mean, we all attack her like fresh meat. But IMO, she is asking for it. The stuff about J&K is rediculous. We should be able to write whatever, even if is negative. I understand that some people on here get nasty and therfore cause the post to get pulled. But, I think we are entering into dangerous territory and sensoring us doesn't seem the right approach. I do agree with the moderator who said that people who continue to be vicous will be banned from the site. If you look at the top post on the main board it talks about threads getting pulled. You should check it out.

I think the reason why some of the posts get pulled is because one of the moderators is friends with them. OOPS, will this get pulled now because a moderator is showing favoratism.

I read all the things on J&K but half the time I don't respond. Whatever they want to do is fine by me. If they get free vacations, appliances, etc GOOD FOR THEM!! I wish I could get a free vacation. Sign me up, what do I have to do?!??!


This is my edit: Wanted to add that one of the sightings of John out and about was in Huntington PA. For anyone who lives there (or doesn't), there is NOTHING there but Juniata College. I went there and there was NOTHING to do in the town. Any fun was had at Penn State, a short drive away.

Suzan, I'm so laughing about your take on Juniata College. They kept sending me stuff when I was in high school and I went on a campus visit. It DID seem boring to me. Guess where I ended up? Penn State. Lots more fun there.

5-11-09 Janet's Enough IS enough post

This post was spawned by a post by Feistylioness complaining about people picking on her about her bad parenting skills. She tends to post inflammatory controversial posts then plays victim when people get upset about here saying things like she hadn't ever met her sons Dr in person until that day and he had been his Dr for months and the poor boy has been in the hospital since he was born. You can read some of her pulled posts at the beginning of this blog. Many weren't saved.

Janet's pulled the responses but left her post and locked it. I did miss some of the responses but you get the idea of the community response.

Enough IS enough!

Henceforth, all negative comments to ANYONE or about anyone on our forum will be subject to removal as users on our forum. Let's all GROW UP now and quit hounding any poster. It seems that the same individuals work as a team, making our forum an unfriendly place.

If anyone sees unfriendly or inappropriate posts, please let me know immediately. Each one will be reviewed, and that poster will be permanently removed, and their IP address will banned.

This forum is for support, quality information and networking purposes. If any poster feels the need to criticize or belittle in any way another poster, they will be removed.

We have had people leave our forum because of the unfriendliness and bickering that goes on here. Just because one has been a long-time forum member will make no difference. Individuals who send poison messages spoil our forum for everyone!

No more warnings or just deleting of inappropriate posts. If you wish to utilize our forum, please do so with integrity. Otherwise, don't plan to have the opportunity to continue as a forum member.

THANK YOU!

I have been a memeber here since we found out we were expecting triplets.

This is the second time I have been slapped in the face by the owners of this site. Enough is enough for me.

There have been some things said that I feel are inapporiate, but to each their own, who am I to judge. That is for someone much higher then me or anyone else on this board.

But we are human after all and someone can only ask for advice and info and have every excuse in the book why they can't do the suggestions.

So do what ever you need to do Janet. But as for me leaving TC it is all on you, no one else.

I understand that being a moderator on this board can be difficult.

I also understand that "hounding" someone is not appropriate.

However, in the instant case (that is Feisty), she purposely comes on this board to spark outrage or cause issues only for others to get reprimanded? I think that perhaps if you have a little time, review feistylioness' contributions to this site and you will see the most will be negative or self-absorbed. Perhaps if you removed the root of the problem (ie feisty), things would be more civil around here, but that is just my opinion (as a contributing member).

Anyone can ignore or stay out of any forum topic. For far too long there have been individuals on this forum who feel free to be rude and negative. This will not continue. If there is an inappropriate forum topic, please let me know and I will review it.

I just want to say thank you. I've joined another group & post there regularly because I have felt very attacked on this site. Thank you for taking the time to see that HOM families can be safe on your site. Maybe now I can spend more time here learning from others that have BTDT.

Thank you Janet. This makes me feel safer about posting. If people don't like another user its probably best to just not reply to threads posted by that user. Keeps the peace.

Janet,

I understand it can't be easy to run a site this active and with many diverse opinions.

That said, I wonder if you've had a chance to read all of the threads that the OP in question has started in the last two years, since most of them get pulled pretty quickly. This isn't just some innocent member who happens to get a sharp response - yes, that happens from time to time and is often dealt with properly.

I have yet to see this member take any advice seriously, or even respond to genuine offers of help. It is only the members who question her motives who get responses. That isn't being a contributing member of TC. Why not remove that member? I would hope someone would be brave enough to speak up for my child if I couldn't, and I certainly hope they wouldn't be removed for doing the right thing, even if it comes off as harsh.

Thank you for TC, but if standing up for that little boy means a few of us get kicked out, I guess that's the price that has to be paid. I refuse to stand by and let ANY mother come on here and make a mockery of this forum while her child waits for a visit, a hug, a trip HOME.

Sincerely,
Loren Varney

My son is not waiting for a hug or a visit he gets plenty of that from his family. As far as as trip home the vent training needs to be done in order to do so. The preparations for that is almost complete.

I am meeting with another agency tomorrow to see when they can provide nursing for my son. No matter what I post on here I get attacked. Its a little more than standing up for a little boy he our son we love. It seems as if I am not the only that gets attacked on here. How do you know I don't take advice seriously? I never saw the Feisty post because it was pulled by another member. My son doesn't need any of you to speal up for him. He has his parents that know him best.

April 6 2007 Letter to Dr. Phil about cyber bullying

#271176, "Didn't write this but it's about TC"

I wrote a letter to Dr. Phil today. Wouldn't triplet moms partaking in cyber-bullying make a great show? Here's the letter:


Dear Dr. Phil,

I am the mother of 3 year old triplets and a 21 month old singleton. I belong to an online support group for mothers of triplets called the Triplet Connection at www.tripletconnection.com. This online support forum is the largest online support group available for high order multiple mothers. It's a lifeline for women in high risk pregnancies and raising triplets, quads and more.

A month ago, some of the triplet mothers started a spoof forum called the Triplet Disconnection, at www.tripletdisconnection.com. It started out as being a place to make fake posts regarding feeding babies, babies crying, taking out three babies, etc. It was meant to be a place to let your hair down and poke a little fun at the absurdity of raising triplets. It quickly became something else entirely.

It has now become a textbook case in cyber-bullying. The interesting thing about this story is these women are not teenagers on MySpace. They are grown women, many of them successful business women who are raising triplets. They now single out women on the real Triplet Connection and cyber-attack them. Their posts are lewd and offensive to all walks of life. A lot of triplet moms are afraid to post anything personal or ask for help, because they will be attacked and openly made fun of on the spoof forum.

I believe the fact that this is a bunch of triplet moms engaging in such activity makes for a very interesting spin on cyber-stalking and cyber-bullying.

Please feel free to contact me for specific information if you find this an interesting story line.

Thank you,

Michele

I'll keep everyone posted if I hear back from one of the producers. Can you imagine if they agree to do a show on it and then all those posts are made public on national television and those women's family and friends saw what they were saying and making public on the internet? Wouldn't you just want to die of embarrassment?

I can just hear Dr. Phil right now saying, "How's that working for you?"

this was my post when I couldnt respond to this...

Michele,

I am sitting here in disbelief...I CAN NOT believe you would write a letter like that...I don't know who "crazy life" is or why you would have sent them this, but why in the world would you do this??? You go on and on about not wanting drama and then you do this???? You actually want the drama on national television is the real deal isn't it? I hope you get off your high horse about all your posts of wanting the drama to end...it is obvious you don't.

Unfreakingbelievable.....you are truly in need of something to do with your time rather than trashing people on another site....

With all the drama finally starting to fade away, it's a shame that someone would want to fire it up again with this post.

And I am sure there are a billion more interesting and worthwhile topics in the world for Dr. Phil's talk show than this silly one! lol!

I'm pretty new to this site, but even I've grown weary of this topic. Obsessing over a website is not healthy behavior. Everyone really needs to learn how to move on. If you're having trouble, perhaps that is the letter that should be written to Dr. Phil.

I think writing to Dr. Phil was a good idea. I have not partaken in ANY of the drama here lately. I took one look at the TDC site and was sick to my stomach. I haven't gone back there - it is so very not for me, and that is fine. But it does upset me that there are those who feel the need to poke fun at others in a public space. If you have to get it out of your system, fine, but do it somewhere that is not open to the public.

I hope Dr. Phil does take this case on. It's a tragedy really. The TC site desperately needs someone to set some ground rules and help implement ways to ENFORCE those rules. It's obvious that the owners and moderators here can't/won't/don't know how to. (I don't say that as an attack, more as a plea of desperation from a longtime member who sees a need for detailed ground rules here.)

Hurray for Dr. Phil. Maybe he'll invite some of you to hash out this issue (once and for all) and finally get it resolved.

If that is the case wouldn't Nanny 911 would a much better suited show? We could have a naughty forum for offenders and a star chart to earn Mom's nigh out. I could really use a mom’s night out! I will be a really good girl for that.

I'm completely shocked that someone would take the time out to write to a talkshow host, hoping to get internet drama brought into the real world. For what? More drama? Bizarre that someone who was so avidly pro a spoof board would now oppose it so much that she'd spend tons of time obsessing over it. Who'd even think about contacting a talkshow host. Perhaps Springer would be a better choice.

Which Michele is this? Is this from MSTAR's blog? Cause the other Michelle (is that how it's spelled? Sorry if it's not) the one that had to get a new user name, usually signs with her old user name. And the only otehr Michele I know from this site is MSTAR

What is going on here. I don't understand.

Just saying goodbye to you all. Thank you for the love and support I have gotten over the years - you have made my journey easier.

There are assumptions about me out there that I am struggling to appreciate. There is at least one woman that assumes I'm judgemental and I don't support her views. Whatever. Assume whatever. I need to distance myself from the TC drama.

Someone needs to disable PM's. I think it's a chicken way to say stuff to people - be bold and then stab someone on a PM. classy.

I'm not sure I understand what's going on. But I think people with different views can coexist on here, can't they? I'm not defending one or the other.

I like this new area of TC and I'm sorry that you feel like this.

I like you. I don't care what sites you go to or not go to. It doesn't bother me that you don't like the site I frequent. No judgements here.

Stick around and let's get through these crazy preschool years together.

I JUST POSTED THE WHOLE FREAKING PM!!!! You may say many things about me, but chicken I am not. I only sent you one PM and I THOUGHT I WAS BEING NICE!!! For goodness sake, can I apologize any more???? Why is it not judgemental of you to assume that I was being ill-spirited and not see my PM with the spirit and intent in which it was written????

I said I was sorry. I said I was wrong. I clearly misread the situation...uh, clearly. I was attempting to acknowledge the elephant in the room (please don't take that to mean that I am calling you an elephant..I AM NOT!!!!) so that as a new group we could move passed it. I was attempting to avoid this landmine that I apparently jumped into with both feet!!! I can't win for losing and I still can't figure out how I could have so greatly offended you!!!

Not that I owe you an explanation as you started this. I said I was the only one not posting somewhere else and you made all kinds of unpleasant assumptions about me. You don't know me. You sent me a PM telling me that I had decided people were undesirable....where you got your information from is none of my business. But...I also don't need to belong to a group where people are unsupportive out of the blue. People that take it upon themselves to "fix" what is (in their opinion) broken about me. I HATE assumptions. I do appreciate an appology and do accept that. I'm not interested in having assumptions made about me and then pointed out on a PM. I'm not in high school and playing with the big girls is what I do best. Not playing with you anymore - no more assumptions. thank you.

Dear Laurene,
I am not sure what happenned, but I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you would stay!

I hardly ever post anymore, but I do feel like I know you from your posts over the years. You are a wonderful mother and have provided so much support to other mothers here over the years. You offer a perspective which will not easily be replaced. I think of you as my "camping" cohort lol.

Thank you for all of your contributions over the years. You will be missed!

I posted the entire PM there under the post about the sites we all visit, as requested. I am up to my eye balls with apologies. I do appreciate her! I can't believe the way this unfolded.

Wow, I have powerful words.

If her words are not that powerful to you, then why, oh why are you packing up your toys and leaving? It seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Your reading something else into this entirely. Yes, see ya! I'm asking to be removed.

I was talking about - I am not overreacting - telling me to be more open minded and give these ladies a chance is so out of line as I have never not given them a chance.

Why do I feel like I'm being hassled by the Triplet Connection Mafia?

"telling me to be more open minded"

Again, I did not say that. You are twisting my words and certainly misrepresenting my intent. I can not apologize enough for upsetting you. You stated:

"So me noticing that most of the women on here post somewhere that I don't has caused - yes, hurt feelings, and yes, the thought that I really don't belong here."

That was the very thing I was trying to avoid. I have apologized and apologized for the way that my PM was received by you. It was not my intent to cause drama or to in any way upset you. But, really, you are throwing assumptions about me in post after post after post.

I did not mean to upset you. I am sorry that my message was ill-received. There is a misunderstanding here and I am attempting to clear it up. Instead, I am getting slammed all over the board by you. I hope that you will stay. I hope that you will take a step back and try to view my message with the intent it was written. Clearly my apologies are falling on deaf ears, so I will bow out. I have saved all of the posts so that I can present them in their original state should Janet or Jeff have a concern with my conduct.

"I just wanted to encourage you to get to know us as individuals before you decide that we are as terrible as our reputations foretell. We might just surprise you."

We obviously went to high school in different places because when you break this down it tells me to be more open minded and less judgemental.

I accepted your apology. I have trouble believing you did this and said these things to be nice....we are very different people as I can honestly tell you I would NEVER tell someone "I just wanted to encourage you to get to know us as individuals before you decide that we are as terrible as our reputations foretell. We might just surprise you." this except to bully them. No, I will not step back and let you bully me - I have watched you bully to many people in the years you have belonged and it's not happening to me. Don't tell me what to think or do...your not my crazy mother! Why don't you step back and stop trying to run this board?????

FWIW, when I posted, there were no other comments under Laurene's post. I had no idea who posted what thing or what any of it was about.

Please notice I immediately edited my post as soon as I saw other responses. I didn't even realize I was stepping in it and I do not want to offend anyone.

I hate to be dense, but didn't this particular forum/thread just start. Are we really falling apart already due to some misuse of words, perceived or otherwise, by one or more posters? No specifics or judgments in that statement. I just don't know what the hell happened. I thought we were one big happy family with toddlers/preschoolers and everything was hunky dorry. JEEZ.


I love you guys. ALL of you. Through the good and bad, and sickness and health. Let's just all step back and revisit why we come to TC. That's all I ask.

Great - you don't feel it, I do. Why do I need to give them the benefit of the doubt when I have NEVER indicated that I had an issue? Where did this crazy PM come from - I REFUSE to be the TC Mafia's latest victim - I REFUSE to have the gang come after me and support the person that decided I was having opinions that did not exist. I REFUSE to take it. Some on here take it and think they have to be nice about - I have never been a part of the group and suddenly I'm told to do something by one of them. I'm no ones puppet anymore. Lea never even speaks to me and then sends me this random PM out of the blue....how would you feel?????? Well, like I said, I feel like the latest victim - do what we want, give us a chance - LOL! I have NEVER NOT GIVEN HER AND HER GANG A CHANCE. Yet he responses are certainly quick to jump to her defense. Interesting huh?

For the record, I'm not on the other site. And Lea and I already had our pissing match a year and a half ago and we have since made up and moved on. I was really mad at her too. Then her little boy got sick and was in the hospital and I felt like a big old a$$ for getting mad over an internet site. So I sucked it up and stopped being a toad, when what really matters is our kids and not some silly site that doesn't mean anything unless you are actually going to it.

I only saw like 4 or 5 people in that whole list that were on the other site. I'm not. Laura isn't. Loren isn't. Laraine isn't. Wait. Wow. Laurene isn't. Lea must not want any other "L"s over there.

Anyway, just wanted you to know that I liked having you on this new preschool site and you always have good information, so should you stay we'd love for you to.

Not completely up-to-date on this, but Laurene, don't go anywhere. I don't see this as anyone bullying you. I don't know for sure, and I don't want to jump conclusions, but I take it that I'm not your favorite person...just a feeling I get. But I don't feel like I don't belong just because someone may not like me. I don't actually think I've ever noticed anyone playing bully to you.

We're a rare breed, those with adult children and preschool triplets. There are so few of us. I really at one point thought you and I would hit it off instantly. I get it. You don't agree with my lifestyle. So we'll never be friends, but I'd like to stay on here. And I'd like you to stay on here. If you work for a corporation and are bouncing ideas off of even the co-workers you hate, you're still being productive. In the end, you can still draw conclusions.

Nobody wants you out of here. But if you feel strongly that you should, I think you should give it a day to see if tomorrow brings some different perspective. I think Mother Hormone has gotten to everyone on TC this past week.

Laurene, could you please take a step back and re-visit your decision in a few days? I just read all the drama in this thread and the other one. I'm frankly not quite sure why you are so upset. I read Lea's PM to you and really don't think she was trying to be offensive or judgemental at all. I think in a few days you may realize you have overreacted.

I do not frequent the other board either. I check it out once in a while. The public side of the board often makes me uncomfortable. Since the requirement for joining over there seems to be proving yourself on the public board I really can't join. However, I am told that the private side is very supportive. I don't think being a member over there makes anyone a bad person. It certainly isn't a reflection of how the women there are raising their kids.

Please give yourself a few days to calm down before you decide to leave. There are many here that would miss you on this site. There has been too much drama around her lately. Can't we just try to keep the Toddler Board a drama free zone?

It's not really a slumber party until somebody falls asleep crying, though, is it?

My meaning is, it's not a group of women congregating without someone taking something the wrong way. Expect it but don't take it personally.

You pretty much nailed TDC, Lori. We are very supportive of each other, in fact we intermingle in real life as much as we can. The public side is just for venting - for anyone, not just us - and having some fun. One person's idea of fun may be too off color for another, but it blows off steam.

Lea was geniune in her pm. She feels absolutely horrible over this, nothing she said was meant to be holier than thou or to think for Laurene. Something was taken completely the wrong way. She has apologized a million times and I personally don't think she has anything to apologize for.

If Laurene decides to leave over something that I'm still not sure of, then so be it. She will be missed. But she knows where TC is and she's always welcome here.

Lesa, hahaha on the slumber party analogy, it's sooo true!

I'll say it again. I'm loving this new board and think that every single lady that posts on it rocks! I've learned more from everyone on TC than anyone I know in real life. Little tricks of the trade that keep my life going! I hope this can stay drama free after this and we can just get along and get past what sites people visit. Cause to me it really doesn't matter where anyone goes.

I'm beginning to think I'm a lazy mom of HOMs! I hear about moms on different sites all the time.

I belong to a yahoo same-age multiples group (that some here are also members of, lol) and TC. I tried to join MOST but hadn't heard anything from them.

SO... what sites do YOU frequent?

Mostly I post on here. I occasionally post on an infertility board on a thread I started several years ago. Occasionally on a Nascar Board. I used to be in to that before marriage and babies. I've been thinking about checking out MOST but keep forgetting.

I go to a lot of blogs, Caringbridge pages and newspapers.

This site,
That other site,
And that other, other site (Holy Moley!!),
An infertility group on MSN
A yahoo homeschool group (but not the one I was kicked out of for not being a REAL homeschooler!)
A GVA Yahoo group,
and various blogs.

I did join MOST once upon a time, but it didn't seem to be as busy as TC. I don't even remember my log in info. It sure does sound like a terrific place though.

OMG I'm such a dumba$$. It took me a minute to realize that MOST is NOT the site people referred to as the "other site." D'oh!

I'm not sure how I feel about joining MOST. It doesn't look very exciting, and let me tell you, it takes a lot to get ME going these days. But I'd give it a shot for those lonely nights when booze just doesn't cut it. Kidding, of course... I'm never lonely.

Forget about "the other site" How do I get on this "other other site". Is there an "less intense alternative site"? How about a "alternative to the other extra optional secret site"? I don't want to be left out here. Someone please keep me in the loop. My kids are in school all day now I have time on my hands. Keep me busy or I will be forced to *wisper* clean *gasp*

That other site (although I haven't been there in AGES so I'm not sure if they kicked me off or not.)

The similar age group (although I never post there but do occasionally read)

A group of mom's that I met through Babycenter (we are at a private closed group now and have been together for 3 years or so. I'm the only one with trips-there is one twin mom).

TC - REALLY loving our new home here!

Blogs-LOVE reading so many of yours.

OK - I'm going to put this out there publicly so that I don't get another PM or response to this.

I have no issues with who or what is on the other site. I don't agree with porn, trash, drunkeness, obsenities around children, etc for myself. I am different, I can live with that. Me being different doesn't mean that I pass judgement and don't support you all on TC.

Due to this being PM to me - "I just wanted to encourage you to get to know us as individuals before you decide that we are as terrible as our reputations foretell. We might just surprise you. " I feel judged for not being there. There is tons more in the message, I think the person is sincere but I wish she would have not PM'd it and would have put it out there for everyone to see - I hate PM's sometimes....

I feel that I AM supportive of the TC women and I have never said - Shut up and go post on your other forum - Have I? Have I offended you all? Have I called you out and PM'd you? and said give me a chance I'm not as bad as you think, I might surprise you.....

Yeah, I'm a little bent, I'd better get off here before worse is said.

Not sure where that came from. But I don't agree with the stuff you said around children either. Heck I don't even let my children watch Spongebob Squarepants or Nick, because of the materialistic commericals.

I was just stating that what you see on the outside isn't always what's on the inside. Not here to start a war or arguement or anything. I'm loving this new area of TC and not looking to cause a rift here...

FWIW: I rarely go to the public side of that site...

I was just saying that I am different and have been called out because I have a different view of life for my family. I am being judged by a member of this board because she thinks I judge you all for posting somewhere else. It's not even somewhere that I have ever tried to be a part of - but I am being singled out and sent a lengthy PM ...wanna see it? She has decided (and I don't know who she has discussed me with because she gives the def impression that others feel the same) that I "find the other site offensive" and "I say this not to persuade you change your opinion of that site, but in hopes that you will not judge those members merely by affiliation".

Anyway, I HATE assumptions about me. I HATE saying things on a PM that if they really want to tell me something then put it out there, gosh maybe someone would even support me in it, wouldn't that be a shame.

So me noticing that most of the women on here post somewhere that I don't has caused - yes, hurt feelings, and yes, the thought that I really don't belong here.

Laurene,

Please take a step back and take a deep breath. That post I made was not made to you but to Michelle.

It was me being sarcastic and giving a friend a little crap.

It was not meant for yo, I apologize it seemed that way. I try to only call people names who I am friends with.

Me trying to be funny is coming at the wrong time I suspect for you right now.

What is really going on?? I have seen you post on the boards for a while, but I have never chatted with you off TC. That being said.

I'm sorry that "friends" is not a term I use lightly. We all here have commrodity(sp) and there are some of us that have sparked friendships off the board IRL.

Please, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or make you feel like your not part of the group.

I come here and try to lend the knowlege that I have and have a little fun and sense of humor about things. It is never my intention to come here and make someone feel bad or not wanted.

Well once it was my intention a few days ago, but the newbie really had it coming.

I apologize for PM-ing you. I am always reading posts which ask members to "take it off the boards" and I was attempting to respect that. I certainly had no idea that you would respond in this manner.

"I think the person is sincere but I wish she would have not PM'd it and would have put it out there for everyone to see"

Uh, okay:

"Gosh, I typed at least 6 different responses to your post on the Triplet Talk thread about the various groups we all belong too. I would type, then erase, then type, and erase again. This is so not like me, as I am never short on words. Common sense and tact, perhaps. But, words come easily for me. And somehow, I sit here struggling.
Okay, here's the thing, I know you view the other site as offensive. The public side is full of threads established for pure shock value, some by regular members and many more by passer-byers. The truth is, many respected TC posters are members of the closed section of that site. They are really good people with loving, kind hearts. I say this not to persuade you change your opinion of that site, but in hopes that you will not judge those members merely by affiliation. I know that we are the company we keep; however, the public side of that site is not an accurate representation of who we are as individuals. This probably means little coming from me, as I know I can be too outspoken on TC. I understand that my off-color humor and sarcasm is not appreciated by some (present company most likely included, lol). Yet, I felt compelled to write to you, as I think the new group of pre-k moms on TC is going to be an awesome source of support for all of us. I don't want anyone to be put off at the number of members of the other site who are posting in that group. I just wanted to encourage you to get to know us as individuals before you decide that we are as terrible as our reputations foretell. We might just surprise you. "

I believe I finished it up by complimenting your beautiful family and your lovely blog, then signed it with much respect. I guess I am just offensive by nature, regardless of intent. My apologies.

I wasn't intending to make you feel anything other than acknowledged and appreciated. Clearly, I missed my mark. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable about those posters who belong to "that other site." Because I value your opinions and I enjoy reading your posts, I guess I just didn't want to have you become discouraged by those numbers. Your post indicated that perhaps you might have been, at least from the way that I read it. If I misunderstood and you were noting that you were "the only one" not on that site for some other reason, than clearly I am in the wrong.

I have read and re-read my PM to you. I am struggling to find the wording that insighted such a strong response. I am sorry that my intentions were not made clear. I am sorry that you felt judged. Rest assured, I will not PM you again.

Wow. I really think you put words into Lea's mouth and are over reacting.

Yes Lea is one of the more out spoken and opinionated members of TC and I'll be honest, initially she made me mad as hell. But now I consider her one of my dearest friends because I actually got to know her.

Lea was just reaching out to you trying to make you feel comfortable because it was very obvious that a lot of us are members of "the other site" and by your post you felt a little left out so to speak. And I'm not saying that is how you feel, but that is how your post reads (IMO).

Why get so bent on her PMing you?? Most people get pissy when someone posts openly saying we should take it off the forum - geeze louise - cut her a break here. She apologized - repeatedly. Like her or not, I don't see how she wronged you here.

Stay or go, what ever, that is your decision. But I would hope that you stay, we all need all the support we can get and that includes people w/ different view points. If we all think and do things the exact same way then what help are we to one another??

Off my soap box now.

I had a feeling this was going to explode...lol

Okay ladies. Let's play nice - EVERYONE! This site, that site, doesn't matter where we go. We all have little ones and can learn from one another.

Can't we all just get along?

Yes, Michelle, I believe we can. We all enter into this site bearing the baggage of our lives, our preconceived ideas brought about since childhood, and our sometimes major adult issues that we're dealing with. That's why I started "that other site." There's so much judgment and haste on this board sometimes. From a poster stating, "You're doing just what my husband does and I hate it when he does it!" to "You're not my crazy mom." No, none of is your crazy mom or your subsophomoric husband. If they make you crazy, make sure you don't transfer that crap over to TC.

But since it happens on TC ,I love that the "other site" has no internal conflict. Everyone is genuine and honest, everyone is nice, polite, respectful, but most importantly for me anyway, is that nobody over there is judgmental. I've got a twisted mind. My mind does not slow down and wait for the next big thing. I needed a triplet spot where I could express myself in a way that doesn't compromise who I am. That provides a valve in my brain that threatens to boil over every day.

I LOVE TC for what it is. But I love "the other site" more because I am me over there. I think it makes life flow for me.

I have a myspace, too. I'm also on a few book-related websites.

Look what you started Loren. I want you to go stand in the corner for 15 minutes. (That's how old you are, right?)

Okay, missy. You are SO the first one to catch a spanking.

You may be older than me, but I'm older in dog years.
