In interest of creating a meaningful thread, and because I have been in and out of lurkdom...
what draws you to posting on this and/or other message boards?
what is your most distinct facial feature?
pip something that makes you happy.
Thanks for playing along
1. I stumbled upon the knot years ago when I was planning my wedding. I have continued to follow this board as it transitioned to this forum because I've worked part time or sah since having kids. I feel like I've learned a lot (even if I didn't contribute). I appreciate getting new ideas for meals, activities etc.. and also appreciate feeling like I can relate to others parenting struggles and success.
2. I think my face is pretty round. Mostly though its just average... nothing stands out as being distinct.
1) The ladies here have a lot of knowledge, and are insightful, it's a good place for feedback and advice. 2) If your talking about facial feature, I would say it would be my red complexion. People ask me if I have a sunburn all the time.
I found the bump when it still the nest while looking for a special needs board. I posted there for a while until someone was all "hey, you should come hang out on SAHM" so I did and now I can't quit you people.
I have a bump on the bridge of my nose. I don't love it but it helps keep my glasses on my face. I also get a lot of comments about my eyes.
Can't PIP right now. I will try to show you my happy place later. Yes, I know, that's what she said.

--I was on the nest when I planned my wedding but didn't participate in boards until I got pregnant and did the bmb on the bump. Then when I took a long leave with ds I joined the sahm bump board, got annoyed and quit but lurked and returned and love this board the most since it's a supportive and fun crowd here
--not sure about my most distinct facial feature but I do have scar that is sometimes more noticeable that is above my upper lip. Got it when I was a baby and my mom wasn't watching me, I fell into a sharp table corner. It's significant to me because my mom signed me over to my dad when I wasn't yet 2 and I haven't seen her since.
@itsbritt, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you.
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words...it's been something I have always handled pretty well but it has come to the forefront of my emotions again and I talked to h about it so it was good I didn't bottle up like usual.
@itsbritt, hugs. I'm sorry that happened. My dad kicked me out of his life when I was 11. His new wife didn't want me and he prioritized his other daughters over me. It hurt then but now that I am a parent I truly don't even understand it. I've forgiven him but our relationship is still so awkward. Just know that shitty decisions have no bearing on you.
1. I stumbled onto the knot in 2004 when I was planning my wedding. I never posted though until I found my local board on the nest. In 2010 I started posting on my BMB on the bump. We moved to facebook in 2011/2012 but I couldn't quit the bump. That's when I started lurking on other boards and posted to SN and SAHM.
2. I guess my eyes are my most distinctive facial feature. I have very blue eyes.
3. No PIP. Just imagine a piece of chocolate cake or a deserted beach in Hawaii.
1. I found The Bump when I was pregnant and just randomly searching for baby stuff/info online. I started lurking there and felt like the SAHM board was the best fit for me. I felt weird jumping in while I was still pregnant, though, so I created a username and officially joined right after DS was born. When the exodus happened to here, I came over because the ladies on this board feel like "my (internet) people". I'm also on MMM because they're a good fit for me too.
2. I would say my eyes; they're very dark, almost black, which is sort of weird because I'm very fair with light hair, so I feel like my eyes sort of don't "go" with the rest of me.

1. I found the SAHM board on TB when I was pregnant with DS, and joined in. And now it's been nearly 4 (!!!!) years and I'm invested. :-). I couldn't quit you ladies even if I wanted to.
2. I have a mole on my left cheek.
3. No PIP, but my happy place is in my cozy bed, in the dark, under a fluffy comforter with DS snoring on the pillow next to my head. I love those few minutes after he falls asleep and before we move him over to his bed.
Sorry to hear about your dad situation abs. My dad kicked me out to live with my grandma when I was 15 since his new wife (number 3) didn't like me. It was so painful and I also have a relationship with him now but as you know from my other posts, it's not great. I agree with you though, as a parent now, I could never imagine doing that to ds and in fact, it makes me realize how shitty it was. Hugs to you as well!!!

1. I posted in the knot when planning my wedding and then moved to tb as we were talking about starting a family. I learned a lot from the loss and if boards. I started posting on Sahm because felt like it was a good fit personality wise and given that I teach and there seemed to be a lot of (former and current) teachers. 2. mamaalysson I have a mole on my right cheek! I'd say my eyes though, they are really dark and big. Kids use to make fun of me for them.
1. I started posting on DS1s BMB a couple of months after he was born. From there I lurked other boards, enjoyed SAHM thr most and fit well (when I participated). Then moved over here when everyone else did. I also lurk MMM and occasionally post.

That sounds like a tough memory. It's great that you have your husbands support and listening ear. It can be so helpful to have someone trustworthy to process things with.
