#1433, "Makeshift poll: What sites do you belong to?"
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.

Rule #1: You do NOT talk about the "other site."
Rule #2: You do NOT talk about the "other site,"...
By even using the words "other site," we'll probably all be banned.

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!

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.

WHAT? Why don't I belong????? Is that what your asking? I've never really been asked to come over there and basically felt it was a private group of close friends that obviously I wasn't a part of.
Prude is a pretty harsh word - thanks.

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.

thank you, no need to have my guard up apparently as you never know where the next shot is coming from because apparantly your not the only one that feels that we are not friends.

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.

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.

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