Not sure if it taboo to mention other parenting forums on here?? but I was curious as to how many others frequent the Trademe parenting board?

It's so different from here, I'm more a lurker than a poster those women scare me!! Much prefer OHbaby

I've been on it a few times, have to agree it is a bit scary mob mentality rules that forum.

while pregnant with Jae I used to post in the June 09 thread, but kept well away from any others... these days OB and FB is enough for me, dont really have time for any other forums!

Yip I agree!!

I do lurk on TM however I only post things on here because on there it can turn pretty nasty and it is very easy to get attacked for a simple question.

I OHbaby!

I lurk quite a bit on TM as does DH and depending on the subject will post. Not so often now I guess because we're busier but DH loves a good 'discussion'

Gosh I haven't looked at the TM one - will have a looksee.

Looked at Treasures site and OB site when pregnant with Brooke, and eventually chose the OB site.  There appeared to be a lot of infighting on the Treasures one and the moderator was constantly shutting down threads that got out of hand.

Yeah I have ventured to a few different ones over the years aswell, none quite as shocking as the TM forums.

Well that sounds supportive! I think in the time I've been here I have seen ONE thread get locked. I may have missed one but I doubt it.

OB rules, even when people argue here it doesn't (usually) turn into all out war!

Gosh sounds like OB is the best out of the bunch then! What is with us women that we have to fight like that??

I love my born in/due thread because we have never once had any of that in there.

We had a stalker/fake in our due date thread, she's gone now but it did make things a bit awkward for a bit.

I had that problem on the Little Treasures forum. Don't bother with it now. OB is pretty quick to delete messages that offend and regularly posts reminders about the forum 'rules'.

yeah, there was some really nasty sh*t posted about my sister on the TM forums years back, started by people she went to school with. After that I steered well clear!

I tried treasures before I came here but never warmed to it.
