Do we all still do it? Yeah. I didn't think most of the comments were that ill spirited. I feel like most of the comments actually come from a good place of concern, that hopefully they still have the time &amp; space needed to get to know each other and build their marriage no matter when a child comes along. </p> <p>Their whole family/values/traditions are very different from most of America anyway so I would expect a lot of opinions. No need to get on anyone's case? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825641 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:31:26 +0000 MomOnTheGo 1825641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I have been around for a while, but I rarely post. I don't see nearly as much attacking as I do people being accused of attacking (especially several of the posters in this thread) by another poster, and then accused bee is ganged up on as a result. It's ironic to me that the people who are doing the accusing can't see that they themselves are being aggressive/attacking another user. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825635 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:28:00 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1825635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: Ah, man. You win!! Too uncoordinated for Latin dancing. :( So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825632 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:25:48 +0000 Freckles 1825632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There have been many posters who have made the, "ugh, this post sucks" or "this post makes me sad" on other threads so i'm not sure why people feel as if @ladybee's comments were any worse. Is it because she isn't a regular poster? </p> <p>I don't really know the Duggars, and i don't really care what "celebrities" do with their lives. Eh, just not surprised.</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: @wonderstruck: ladybee was referring to the nasty comment that swedishfish made to her, which has since been edited out. Then it just escalated for no reason.</p> <p>ETA: I wonder how different of a response this thread would have received if we swapped out "Jill Duggar" with a popular mom blogger or an HB blogger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825630 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:24:57 +0000 Espion 1825630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: MAMBO!!!</p> <p>(That's all I got. :p Now I'm off to youtube.)</p> <p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kokbJvSEMUY" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kokbJvSEMUY</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825622 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:21:59 +0000 gingerbebe 1825622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, as a Christian, I want to say that while the Bible says that children are a blessing from God, it doesn't say that they are the ONLY blessing that He gives. The point of the Christian life is to become closer to God and to live as closely as you can with His will, so if that means fewer or no children for you or being single or whatever, fine. God will and is blessing you in a different way meant to draw you closer to Him. That's not an easy thing to swallow when you want something in particular, but that's just how it is. </p> <p>I wanted to get married and have children all my life. Except I was single for the majority of my 20s and I didn't get married until I was about 30. And we have had fertility problems and brain tumors and all sorts of drama since getting married. I am just now expecting my first LO at 33 and this might be the only natural child I have. Do I feel any less blessed than someone who has 19 kids or who got knocked up on their honeymoon? No. Its just not my journey and I got blessed in a different way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825617 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:18:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1825617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't give a crap about the Duggars (more power to them, they seem like nice people), but if you don't believe that there is a specific clique on HB that very obviously perpetuates mean girl culture on this site, then you are either choosing not to see it or a part of the clique yourself (or just aren't around as often). I often feel very bad for posters who are attacked by this clique and are left feeling alienated and isolated after a million "+1's" and "this's" by the Regina Georges of hellobee.</p> <p>I don't mean to threadjack, but I am saying this since @mrbee brought it up and I have noticed he issue getting worse lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825607 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:16:13 +0000 gingerbebe 1825607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if they are happy, then that's just fine with me. Congrats to them! </p> <p>The Duggars have also been open when they do have miscarriages, so I don't think its particularly odd to announce early. They believe that life begins at conception, so they celebrate that life as soon as they find out. *shrug* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825606 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:15:42 +0000 Crisark 1825606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. And I don't agree with their beliefs and don't live my life that way but if they are happy I don't see the issue.<br /> As far as the tone of the boards, yeah it's changed. I've barely been on and I still haven't renewed my Gold. I want to but just not sure right now is the time I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825581 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:05:00 +0000 LindsayInNY 1825581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: "I'm saddened to hear that so many amazing users are being driven off the site and many more never had the chance to make their mark."</p> <p>I will gladly +1 that! I have resisted giving any other input or comment though... If there were thumbs up and down options, I probably would've used a hundred throughout these four pages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825551 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:54:17 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1825551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two cents (ya know you want them): it's the Sharks and the Jets. I have noticed that there are groups, and that while it's great that those groups support eachother, they are maybe looking for opportunities to rumble. So I say that if you wanna do that, cool, but it should be a dance-off. Or in rhyme. Like a villanelle. Those are super classy. Disagreements are different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825541 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:50:29 +0000 kes18 1825541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am team "who cares?!?" :)</p> <p>Never seen the show but it doesn't seem surprising based on what I know of them. Not my style but the couple seems nice enough to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825515 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:41:41 +0000 spaniellove 1825515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I care about all you bees' lives, but I don't think I can comment about the Duggars since I know zero about them besides that they have a show... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825446 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:23:07 +0000 Warbler 1825446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been lurking on HB for a while now and have only recently actively joined the IF boards. I check other boards occasionally and haven't really noticed any animosity among users. </p> <p>I remember a thread about Kim Kardashian from a while ago where everyone chimed in with differing opinions, but no one was offended. So this thread reaction is really surprising to me. </p> <p>I think that if you seek out drama, you will find drama. Period. Given that an internet board gives everyone a sense of anonymity, we feel it's easier to stoke the fire. But, I hope that we can all remember that differing opinions are never intended as a personal judgment to whatever lifestyle you believe in. They're just DIFFERENT opinions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825417 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:13:40 +0000 hellobeeboston 1825417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amurray: congrats on the baby and I also LOVE LOVE top chef!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825410 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:10:08 +0000 loki 1825410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amurray: +1 ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825404 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:08:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1825404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for them!! I know a couple that married and had a baby within a year. They were together for a lot longer than Jill, but none the less marriage is different than dating. I can't wait for the wedding special. </p> <p>@Amurray: now I have to go back and read through every comment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825403 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:08:44 +0000 78h2o 1825403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Oh my gosh, how did I forget that?! I remember now when you announced. How are you due already?! So exciting. I am still sorry that you experienced heartache along the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jill-duggar-dillard-pregnant/page/4#post-1825378 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 10:59:47 +0000 youboots 1825378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay babies! I've never watched the show so I don't specifically know anything about this gal because I have a problem with reality tv and the celebrity culture frenzy in the media that's been created. (Minus Top Chef I always learn so much from it) That said, from what I've picked up about the family over the years I'm sure this baby will be loved and treasured, and that is awesome. Hopefully the $$ they got from the early public announcement will fund baby's education &amp; care.</p> <p>PS for everything else in the post, I guess I'm clueless, I'm new here and slowly recognizing users but I find the tone to be rather nice, open, honest and inclusive. If you think there are problems here check out Baby Center for a day, that place is exhausting. I'm here to learn as much as I can while waiting for baby #1 to arrive in March. I've been able to ask questions and feel comfortable sharing. I'm happy to have a space where I can soak up the experiences of a diverse group of intelligent and kind women. </p>
