They have tended to be the schedule every minute type and it just seems way too stressful to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398336 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:28:37 +0000 coopsmama 2398336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm a pretty crunchy mama but these women take the cake. They all make their own wipes, sometimes even their own cloth diapers, try to refuse antibiotics for actual, significant infections, have judged me for giving my kids the vitamin K shot, and will make their own formula at home (full of questionable ingredients) rather than buy even an organic formula. Or just give their kids raw goat milk when they are like 4 months old if their milk dries up.</p> <p>I feel like I'm judging them just by posting this, but seriously...sometimes I just don't even know what to say!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398325 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:18:37 +0000 lemondrop 2398325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the only mom group I participate in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398324 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:18:33 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2398324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a member of mine solely for the drama and hilarious arguments that ensue. I can't believe what people post on Facebook sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398317 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:11:39 +0000 Anagram 2398317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: haha...over what? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398283 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 11:39:54 +0000 littlejoy 2398283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Portland, Oregon ... What do you think? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398282 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 11:38:25 +0000 PawPrints 2398282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My local group is pretty tame. The only instance of major drama such that I felt I had to leave the group was, of all things, the Tula Love group. I don't even have a Tula but I enjoyed window-shopping when people would post pics of theirs. But oh my god it went completely off the rails one day. Click, unfollow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398246 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 11:19:23 +0000 jape14 2398246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems pretty crazy to me. I don't have it on my news feed but everyone once in a while my Facebook-crazy neighbor will post in it and I'll get a notification - usually on crazy drama posts that are highly entertaining! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398120 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:25:50 +0000 kiddosc 2398120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: Ugh, YES! So much crazy, fake, freak everyone out junk. I also call them out and get called rude... because even if this one story isn't real, it really COULD happen and we should all be OMG so so careful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398080 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:06:25 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2398080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - my FB moms group is pretty normal. I don't always agree with everyone but that's no different than on HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398077 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:05:20 +0000 catomd00 2398077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but membership is capped and the mods take it very seriously to keep drama out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398076 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:04:57 +0000 Ra 2398076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left my local Facebook group for that reason. I couldn't deal with the crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2398014 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:48:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2398014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I think the moms on my local breastfeeding support group FB page are crazy!! They want to put breast milk and coconut oil on everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397989 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:36:52 +0000 rachiecakes 2397989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Same. I found some great information and am 100% certain that my son is as safe as he can be but I could no longer be a part of that group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397984 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:35:53 +0000 rachiecakes 2397984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I live it seems like there's a line down the middle of 'FF every day's an emergency' moms and' ultra-crunchy non-vaxing breastfeed or die' moms. </p> <p>I didn't feel like I fit in, so I turned to the internet and found HB (via WB). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397978 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:34:24 +0000 californiadreams 2397978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: i just hide those groups from my newsfeed so i am not bothered by them, but can still access if i want info or have a question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397972 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:33:11 +0000 californiadreams 2397972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not really. before i moved, the local board was quite tame and respectful. it was moderated really well, with the occasional blow out. Since i;ve been in my new neighbourhood, i can't seem to find an active group. the one for my location doesn't post anything except the occasional question or selling something, it's boring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397966 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:31:05 +0000 snowjewelz 2397966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drama pops up here and there, but I don't follow closely enough half the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397962 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:29:16 +0000 hilsy85 2397962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: ha I know, sometimes I think it's just a lot of trolls.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397933 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:10:37 +0000 lawbee11 2397933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually left the Car Seats for the Littles FB page because it was just too crazy for me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397930 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:09:12 +0000 winniebee 2397930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: nanny affairs? OMG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397926 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:07:10 +0000 hilsy85 2397926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a group with over 10,000 members so there is definitely some crazy--mostly of the helicopter mom variety. I also belong to a Russian Parents group, and that is just a whole bunch of craziness--many of the posts deal with DH/nanny affairs or bizarre health issues (complete with photos!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397923 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:04:12 +0000 winniebee 2397923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah.

I left CSFTL because of all the drama with ERF vs. FF. It felt like you were shunned if you turned your kid at two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397910 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:52:33 +0000 Anagram 2397910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no! Unfortunately, haha. Very very rarely, there will be a small bit of drama, but our town is sort of....I don't know--you can't hide behind your computer screen here, because you are likely to be speaking to someone who is a friend of a friend. As a result, our mom's groups here are generally really friendly and helpful. Generally ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397909 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:51:01 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2397909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The actual advice is usually reasonable but there's a lot of drama added in. To be honest I think it's drama that most people on HB seem to avoid or manage better from my perspective- relationships with the fathers, money, in laws, health concerns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397865 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:03:53 +0000 loveisstrange 2397865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really participate here, tbh.</p> <p>The military mom/wife Facebook groups when we were in England though. Holy hell. Those bitches be craaaaaaaazy. Constant drama and legitimate attempts to ruin people's lives/careers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-lot-of-crazy-on-your-local-mom-boards#post-2397849 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 07:51:18 +0000 BandDmommy 2397849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG the drama!
