Re: "undercover" posters

I think just because you may not know them doesnt mean others dont know them. I also see it on pregnancy and TTC and I am ecstatic to see that someone I may know is pregnant but that may not mean you know them. BUT regardless, I am still very happy for them and I dont mind that they went "undercover"...its peoples choices and peoples privacy.

Re: "undercover" posters

Yeah
I don't see what the big deal is.....

I lurk a lot on the preggo board and I love when someone comes out to reveal themselves, even if I don't know them.

It's exciting in their lives and heck, it makes me smile.

see, when one of your closet friends is on the boards and checks your posts (as I do for her), it would be known very quickly.

Re: "undercover" posters

I just think it's silly when they "reveal" themselves and they only have 100 posts under the true screen name. Not that there is anything wrong with having a low post count (my own is smaller than most), but exactly who are you hiding from? No one even knows who you are.

Thats SO untrue. Many peoples SIL's join, best friends etc by word of mouth. Just bc they havent talked to you doesnt mean they dont have a friend/friends on here. Some people that recently joined have more posts then I do and I was here since the beginning...I dont think post counts determine who you know.

FAir enough-added caveat: They have very few posts and joined recently.

Same for me when I was PG with Baby G. I had several co-workers who were on LIF and knew my SN & I was not ready to tell work yet at that point. I don't think I taunted anyone when I was hiding, and I did FM with people here as well that I knew would not spill...

As soon as I told work I came out and stopped posting under my "hiding" name.

It was super-confusing tooChat Icon

In my case, I only joined LIF when I became pregnant so at the point that I reveal myself my post count will be small. And yes, i'm fully aware of Google (to respond to another poster) and use it often as well, but there are some things that are helpful to actually discuss with others on the PG board, Google doesn't respond when i'm worried or scared, the girls on here do. I don't taunt others with my hiding as I don't consider this a game, and I don't expect a parade when I "come out" either. But I have a family member on LIW (where I am a regular poster) that could very well find me here if someone on there happened to post that they saw my "news" on here. And we're not ready to tell anyone yet, period. You could say I could keep my mouth shut until I'm in the clear, but like I said, it's helpful to talk with others who are going through the same thing.

Re: "undercover" posters

I can see the need for hiding when PG -you want to share the news, but at the same time, you don't want friends or family to find out

haven't seen any taunting, but i'm usually oblivious

here's what irritates me...

someone will be ready to deliver or find out the sex

they will do so, and then 2 or 3 people from the boards, who are friends with that person IRL, will post

CONGRATS to so and so

they found out the sex and know the name, and told me, and I am so happy

but I can't tell you because it's her news

OK fine, it is her news, but did you really need to make the effort to let everyone know that you know and we don't

To me, that's a feeling of self importance

Re: "undercover" posters

Chat Icon well, now....I guess I'm one of those super-special people. I'm just an egotistical "self-important" female. Do I get a crown or something to show off my superiority???

OK, now for real....I'm simply a girl who is just giving the ladies on here who like a "fun challenge" of guessing games and clues a little entertainment for a couple of weeks. And definitely a girl who enjoys chatting with ladies who've btdt and have 1st hand advice on pregnancy and children vs. spending time googling and reading articles mostly written by men who've never actually experienced pregnancy and childbirth!!!

If you don't like playing fun guessing games, then ignore the posts and don't take part in them---why bother starting a whole new thread on us "self-important" people who are obviously too intertwined with our own egos to even notice these drama-causing posts for quite a while???

Anyway....I'm off to go pat myself on the back for a while. And maybe stare at myself in the mirror for a while and chant "I'm the best! Nobody's better than me....

I understand the need to ask questions (of course there IS Google Chat Icon ), but the taunting is out of control Chat Icon




I don't know, the PG board is WAY more helpful to me than google is.

I never understood the fake name thing, but then again, I have NO friends IRL on these boards and those friends that I do have would probably laugh at me if they even knew about the little world I have discovered.


I haven't noticed the taunting thing, but I might just be oblivious. Chat Icon
