How did you find DCUM?

2013. Moved here from out of state. Googled the name of the neighborhood we were looking at and ended up here.

I would browse every so often, mostly in the pregnancy or parenting group as a pregnant mom to a toddler. Got hooked on the drama in family relationships. And then Bobcat Girl started to unfold live in front of me while the toddler was napping and I couldn’t look away ever again.

2014- looking for a nanny

[Anonymous]

Circa 2008 when my daughter was looking for travel field hockey teams. Googled + voila. I don't spend a lot of time here but do enjoy a number of forums: colleges, private schools, entertainment, off topics, travel + food.

I think it was 2014 or 2015. I was looking for a private school for DS and it came up in the Google results. I had no idea at the time that I’d become a regular.

What on earth did you need to google about your DDs pubes? Weird!!

About 2006 after my son was born. It was still a mom’s group then.

23 years ago, 2002, when pregnant. Had to pretend to find out about DCUM when a friend told me about gossip happening online about our ES

Same! One of the first things DCUM helped with was finding a sleep therapist for my now college senior. She still keeps me up at night but now it’s because I’m waiting for her to get home after going out.
