I am not sure why anyone left. The resounding sentiment was "Nobody Leave" and "I'm not leaving" and I don't understand why anyone would leave due to one person's opinion or statement especially after it was so obvious nobody else wanted that. My hope is that everyone is still here lurking and most are just too busy right now. I do hope you stay too, I don't think you should leave. I don't think anyone should feel like they should leave. I was thinking of leaving and people said stay and I stayed, and I am so happy that I did. I think this is an amazing board with incredible women and it is so obvious that EVERYONE is welcome here. I have been on tons of ivillage, parentsplace and parentsoup board - there is no board like this one. PLEASE EVERYONE STAY!

I just want to say, I don't think many (if any) really LEFT. I think you can't force "comfortable" and while I appreciate that MB didn't mean to slow things down and it's not the end of the world, it's also one of those things where comfort is simply going to take time.


I think you can't "Force" comfort in sharing in a group of ladies any more than you can force "romance" in a relationship. It's a spontaneous thing. It'll take time.


Let's all take a breath, relax and just roll with it. Feel free to be yourselves, post what you want and let the board be what it will. It ALWAYS has done it's own thing. I think it'll pick back up but we're all going to have to be patient with the "lull".


I think that was what I was trying to tell Cat. That while I appreciated her frustration, and her zeal to make it fun and more like it was, I know for a fact that you can't force that here. I know because I've TRIED. I've tried to stir things up, and usually it just falls flat.


We're all pretty great. And we're fun. And we're interesting. And I know we'll bounce back eventually. It just takes time. That's all.

You sound good, night angel. I like that you have plans for the weekend and you know not to call him and to let him go. I know you feel abandoned and have pain - sorry for that! Hugs to you!! Have a cup of really good hot tea and take care of you!!
