Aaaaand I'm out.
-
I think it's great what you have done for her and have been able to help her out! What a terrible situation to be in, my thoughts go out to her.
-
@MsLipGloss: I think that the 'tone' of mrs. jacks post made her feel defensive. I could feel the negative undertone to it. jmo.
-
@MsMini: her service was free
-
@Mrsjets: i agree
Mrs Jacks didn't have anything positive to say to the OP, so why comment at all? I could see feeling defensive about that.
-
@MsMini: I was wondering this? Was her doula paid for before her husband got into the accident I wonder?
It's still sad. Motherhood could easily cause ppd but then add financial issues to the mix. So tough. -
@Mrsjets: I understand that tone is open to interpretation. However, the OP could easily have ignored that one post and instead focused on all of the other super *positive* posts . . . her response was harsh and unnecessary.
-
@junebugmama: How awesome that its free! Not to get too off topic, but are you part of an organization that offers this, or do you do it as a volunteer service on your own? Is it a network of postpartum support people and doulas? Grant funded?
ETA - you can wall me if its easier, and I will explain in full why I'm curious. I've been offered a DONA certification scholarship and would like to pick your brain
-
I am not sure why this thread has escalated? A privacy issue was raised, and then resolved. Everything seemed fairly reasonable, so there must be backstory I'm not fully aware of.
To help settle things, how about we program a new feature. Everyone will have to declare themselves either a Shark or a Jet. Then you will only see comments from members of your own gang. If you sign out and go into enemy territory, then you have to break out in song and dance.
-
@mrbee: Ha! This comment kind of made my day.
-
@mrbee: ha
-
@mrbee: I'm having trouble choosing between sharks and jets!
-
@mrbee:
-
@cmomma17: @mrbee: Yeah I think we need a "little Switzerland" team.
-
@mrbee: oh Lord, has it come to this? Smh
-
@mrbee: can we just break into song and dance with no teams because that just sounds amazing!
-
@mrbee: @BabyMats: HB Flash Mob!
-
Leave Switzerland out of it, they're not neutral!
-
@grizz: I will walk you
but I work with an organization where I volunteer for a few clients a year. When you become DOÑA certified they actually suggest that you do this.
-
Goodness, I missed this. But, staying on point, I think it's great you were able to help her in her time of need.
-
@looch: HAHAHAHA! Love this.
-
@mrbee: I defended a poster once, actually the only time I can recall defending anyone even though yoursilverlining claims I do it all of the time, after Mrs. Jacks responded heartlessly. Your actually aware of that situation. Mrs. Jacks then started walling me as she did today. I've repeatedly requested that she just leave me alone and not comment on my threads, since it seems neither her or I can play nice.
-
@junebugmama: I don't know the situation well enough to evaluate what's going on - and I don't believe we've ever discussed it directly. But if indeed you're having trouble getting along with someone else, it's probably best not to respond to their comments?
In the meantime, here are two features we've discussed adding in the past... please let me know on those threads whether or not either feature would be helpful in addressing similar situations in the future!

Mrs. Jacks' comment was nothing more than a veiled assumuption that OP is ignorant about HIPPA laws. That's how I read her comment, at least. Why did anyone feel any need to raise any issue with this post? No need for that negativity when OP was trying to post something fluffy and nice for this fluffy and nice Hello Bee community.
-
@MrsMcD: That's not how I read the comment? But like I said, maybe there's more context that I'm not aware of. If anyone directly involved wants to discuss this further, please feel free to email me at mrbee@hellobee.com!
I agree that the original post was a beautiful sentiment, and it really warmed my heart to read it. Thanks to the OP for sharing it...
-
This thread is why this site needs moderators.
-
@looch: I'll reach out to you on your wall...
-
Moderators just turn boards into popularity contests where mods friends get to say whatever they want and everyone else only gets to post fluffy stuff.
-
I just read this whole thread and am amazed at how it turned out!
To the OP - how wonderful that you were able and willing to lend a hand to someone in such great need. I'm sure she values your friendship a great deal!
-
@MsMini: umm yea agreed, I don't think more moderators is the way to go.
-
I'm glad the issues with the two posters will be handled primarily off a public thread. But, I have to admit OP I was interested too if your patient / friend okayed you sharing her story when you wrote the part about the "in confidence". For me it had nothing to do with Hipaa or patient privacy b/c clearly this woman has become your friend. Rather to me, in confidence means what I share goes no further. Perhaps that piece made her story more compelling. All in all I am happy you shared her story, which has also become your story.

Thank you for sharing this!
