Yes, another WTE rant. This one shouldn't bother me as much as gender disappointment but yet, for some reason, it's right up there with it.
I don't understand board hoppers. Ok, let me rephrase that. Let's say you are due May 30th but don't know when the LO is coming so you are part of the May board and part of the June board. Or vice versa, if you are due in early June but your LO comes early, or if you have a C-section scheduled for a few days to a week early. I can understand that fully. I can also understand if you go into labor early or need to be induced due to pre-eclampsyia(sp?) but other than those issues you have no reason to board hop.
What I don't understand are the women that are due full well into another month and yet still insist on board hopping. Hey lady, you are due July 10th even if you were to come, let's say, a week early you'd still be on the JULY board! Plus there was a woman that was due July 25th that was posting on our board. I understand going to other boards and checking out what others are talking about but to actually post? Uhm no thanks. This shouldn't bother be but it does. If your home board is so unsupportive to where you have to hop to another board, which in the case of the woman due July 25th she could've went to the August board, then maybe you should find a different forum for support.
I know that if my home board wasn't as supportive as it is I would no longer be on WTE. If I couldn't find the extra support on a pregnancy forum you can bet your sweet bippy that I wouldn't go back to that website. I wouldn't dream of going to the July or even the May boards and posting. I would look at the topics and read the comments but I wouldn't post on them. I wouldn't feel right since I am due in the middle of June. Even if I were to come early, or even late, I'm sure I would still be in the month of June.
I don't know. I just feel my hormones rising every time I see someone from July, hell there were some people from the August board posting!, it bothers me because they really shouldn't post on a different month's board. These hormones suck royally and I just wish it were June already!
I have so much to do today. I've got to shower, do homework, do laundry, go to my doctor's appointment, come back home to clean my room up, and then pack a bag and head over to Becky's house for the weekend.
