[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New here - I usually use Reddit for general anonymous forums, Fishbowl and/or Blind for work related forums. Decided to venture over to DCUM to preview forums for new moms. Is the running culture here polite/friendly/open-minded or something else? Has the culture shifted recently due to COVID19 aggravation? Just wondering because people in anonymous forums are usually friendlier, more respectful. Just trying to understand what makes this forum different. Thanks.[/quote]

It’s always been horrible since at least 2013 when I was first horrified. Not friendly in the least. This isn’t like those others, it’s 100% anonymous. Something like Reddit has usernames so you can get to know who writes what, etc. I think it’s that plus people here think they’re smarter than the average human and have a lot of ego about it :)[/quote]

[b]People here ARE smarter than average people[/b]. Some of them have no sense of humor though. [/quote]

TBH that's why I'm here. I couldn't stand all the other expectant moms groups. The other groups were full of "bumpers", who were mostly unmarried teen moms. As a 30+ mom, I didn't fit in. I also love the intelligence in a lot of DCUM posts, plus I love that people here can use proper grammar.

I think a lot of the issue with the expectant moms forum is that older moms are jumping in. Sorry, but once your youngest hits 5yo you need to get out of here. You quickly forget the pains of pregnancy, what it feels like to be 42 weeks pregnant, and how difficult breastfeeding was. [/quote]
