Googled nanny abuse years ago when I worked as a nanny. Turns out my employers were taking advantage of me and I gave notice right away .

I posted on a different forum I used to frequent about needing advice/information related to infertility in the DC area. I got referred to DCUM...and 5 years later I'm still here. Now with 1 kid and another on the way.

The DCUM IF forum was really helpful to me in terms of getting actual information about clinics, doctors, and treatments etc. Now I sometimes think DCUM is just a huge time suck for me.

From a liberal website making fun of you all. Entertaining as hell so I wandered over to see what the heck made them so mad and never left.

It's been an eye opening experience.

Had twins and had a question when they were infants. Googled for the question and a thread on DCUM came up. I've been hooked ever since. Twins are now approaching their 5th birthday.

Googled a school question and DCUM thread came up. I used to ignore everything but the school forum. Then one day...

I saw this graffiti written on a wall in a back alley so I googled the words and came upon this site.

Fascinating isn't it?

Colleague of mine told me about the list serve, I ended up in the forums.

Yeah - I used to look for baby items for sale on the list serve. Now my kids are older I'm mostly here for the entertainment. Occasional parenting question.

Looking for stroller reviews before I had my first. Little did I know just how important that choice would be. Thank goodness DCUM set me straight!

Had a question while I was pregnant and Google sent me here. I'm from DC, so I found some of the local angle stuff really useful. That kid is now almost 5, and I spend more time reading off topic than parenting stuff these days!

Someone just posted this exact question a few weeks ago.

I worked at a kids activity center in the general area, and was googling for reviews. Found this site. I moved away years ago but still addicted....

More importantly, what were you doing in a back alley? You must start your own thread. Between fat shaming and frozen tampons, it has been unusually boring this week.
