If you read GOMI

[Deleted]

What threads on there do you read? Just out of curiosity. I know a few people have admitted that they go on there occasionally

Me: That Wife (oh the schadenfreude over her recent passport problem, lol), Pink Peonies, Love Taza, and very occasionally Kelle Hampton but she's been really boring lately. 

[Deleted]

I didn't know there was a gbcn thread on there! An anonymous message board talking about another anonymous message board? How meta, lol

[cincodemayo]

All of mine are embarrassing.

Skinny Meg

Years ago I started reading a decorating/DIY blog called Honey We're Home. It slowly morphed from decorating into fashion and fitness. Now I just hate read it. I fell down a GOMI rabbit hole only to see the blogger's Playboy pictorial. WTH.

[bowies]

Whatever's on the front page. I find most of them terrifically boring in their narcissism so I'm just a casual reader.

OMG whut? I used to read until the blogger posted an entry saying she deleted her whole inbox and felt so free. There was backlash and the post disappeared.

I used to read McMama or whatever it was called when there was all that bankruptcy stuff ...I dont think she blogs anymore though.

Yep. I was surprised to say the least!

[badtzmaru22]

Just the thread about the blogger I know IRL. It's not that great.

[preppy]

Little Baby Garvin
Pink Peonies
The College Prepster

[turtlegirl]

Bower Power
YHL
The Art of Making A Baby

Probably just randomly check in once a week or so.

[meij]

Quite a few. (Guilty pleasure!)

I've read every page of That Wife (ah, Passport Gate was amazing wasn't it?)

I usually read Katie Bower, Little Baby Garvin, Pink Peonies, J's Everyday Fashion and lately Cary Fuller.

I'm familiar enough with Babyslime, Art of Making a Baby, Love Taza, Kelle Hampton, Mama Laughlin, The Small Things and probably a few others to know what's going on and be able to jump back in if there is drama.

I also really like the Conspiracy threads.

Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with most of GOMI lol.

[sjh722]

Wait, what, pattieice?? Bloggers get playboy spreads now?

YHL really missed the boat on that one.

Does The small things have drama??!

Could you imagine Sherry posing all seductively in nothing but her black blazer surrounded by her ceramic animal menagerie?

The other blogger I mentioned was in Playboy back in her college days.

Nothing too scandalous on The Small Things
She had another baby she complains about a lot and seems to think he was colicky and suoer hard because he cried sometimes and only slept eight hours a night.

Passport gate! Oh man. Jenna had a trip planned to dump her kids off in Poland and then go to Greece with her sister. They got to the airport and T1 passport was expiring too soon to travel. Evidently pop ups alert you to this when you enter your passport info when booking international travel, but you know, rules for others do not apply to Jenna. So she attempted to get him a new passport but went to the passport office without his birth certificate or any documentation, the other parent, or notorized document from missing parent allowing the passport or even the kid the passport was for. Surprisingly they did not renew his passport even though she had rebooked all the flights for later that day. So she tried again but again failed to bring the child and was denied again. It was all really weird and info seemed to be missing.

So their Greece trip got cancelled and boo hoo. Then suddenly they were off to Poland, dumped the kids with her ILs and she and her sister are being dumb tourists around Poland and Italy while her ILs have her kids.

Did you at least see the pic a while back she instagrammed of her kids playing with her vibrator?? The little girl was sticking it in her eye. Jenna has had quite the year.

Oh she also threw herself a 30th birthday party on the beach and she made all her friends wear long ball gowns.

[SJ]

I need to get more into GOMI because I read a lot of the blogs mentioned!

[jloww]

I'm a sucker for GOMI.  YHL religiously when it was going, now I tend to follow the drama. So, yeah PP comes to mind.  I read Tazas occasionally, I had NO idea she's just turning 29?!

I never should have opened this thread. I am sucker for GOMI drama but surprising have never heard of her before. Off to read a few of the 2000+ pages on her. What is the deal with her hating her kids and abuse?

Not to mention her numerous screeds about how she is a feminist for outsourcing her kids as much as possible and her 180 of deciding to be a "high educated" coder in Silicon Valley via Hack Bright Did you see the profiles that someone posted of the women who just finished the program? Jenna doesn't have a chance in hell getting in and an even slighter one of actually finishing if by some miracle she is admitted. It honestly surprises me that her husband apparently thinks she does. The strange thing about her is that she is SO determined to publicly fail over and over on the Internet. I almost want to believe that she is some kind of elaborate performance artist rather than simply the most clueless and irresponsible adult I've ever heard of.

If you are new to That Wife, you should know that she put together a PowerPoint to persuade her husband to marry her and that she often goes on about how it's better to have a "pragmatic" marriage vs. a "romantic" one. And also that she once patted herself on the back for making her baby sleep in a bathroom (when there was an extra bedroom available) and triple diapering him so that she wouldn't have to wake up at night to change him. She's the one blogger I can think of who comes pretty close to admitting that she regrets ever having her kids.

[meij]

thecatinthehat that's actually the third thread about Jenna! The current one on GOMI is only from the last year and a half, there's a locked one still on site and then the first one was deleted somehow. Probably 5000 pages have been written about how awful she is.

[linz]

I've only ever read YHL, small things blog, and Bower Power. Yhl conspiracy theories was also fun to read since they seemed to predict everything. I don't read many blogs though.

I don't read any of the blogs mentioned on GOMI, just the snark. You get a good enough summary to avoid giving clicks to the offenders. The lifestyle/mommy bloggers are the most interesting since they really have nothing to talk about (like a cooking blog does, for example). They have to ratchet it up to get web traffic. Awful people acting awfully = snark gold mine.

Some of the food blogger ones but that's pretty much it. I kind of forget GOMI exists, until I get sucked into it for like 2 hours every 6 months.

They talk about food bloggers? I know how I'm wasting my afternoon.

That Wife-I've been following her since her Wedding Bee days. She is a horrible, mess of a human.

Hey Natalie Jean, Love Taza, Veronikas Blushing, Pink Peonies.

I'm in the camp that believes that was NOT a birthday party but a photo shoot. Did you see the IG caption of the "stylist" that was there? She called it a styled photoshoot. Jenna wants to be published and famous on the internet (in a good way) and this was her way in. I also find it telling (and hilarious) that none of her close friends posted ANY photos with Jenna from her party. They posted pictures of each other and with their spouses but not one picture with the birthday girl! If I went to a birthday party for my good friend, I would at least post a picture of her!

[cincodemayo]

Does ANYONE like Jenna? Who are her supporters/sponsors? She gets very few likes on her IG posts.
