There's nycitymoms

I don't miss UB that much. I like how threads are organized here. I like that it's not necessarily region-specific but about general topics like Family Relationships, etc. It used to annoy me when ppl outside the NYC area would go on UB.

Yeah, it would be great to have a version in NYC. and it's a much bigger area too! I don't get it

I started in DC with DCUM, then ended up in NYC with urbanbaby. Also love how DCUM organizes the threads, but really miss the rapid pace of UB. Could always go there for quick questions about NYC culture, etiquette, etc. "How much do you tip the garage attendant at the holidays?," "Best place on UES to repair an expensive purse," etc, etc. DCUM regional board for NYC just isn't the same.

What happened to Urbanbaby? I ditched out after the 2016 election because there were too many Trump trolls.

I hate youbemom. It's impossible to have a thoughtful conversation about anything there. You get like 3 minutes of immediate, knee-jerk responses and then nobody pays attention to the post ever again as it moves off the first page.

Well, seems like the only option for us New Yorkers is to hang out here.

[Anonymous]

Agreed. I can’t believe that there is not an equivalent forum for NYC. Youbemom is 60% suburban mom now

[Anonymous]

I wish we didn't have this forum, so I can't really empathize. Sorry, OP.

I think the maplewood moms group is pretty active but that’s north Jersey

Well, welcome. It's nice to think that NYers have to travel here for something they don't have already!
