Or it could just be that many people defect to The Bump after they get pregnant. I know I couldn't keep up with two message boards! Of course my kid is older now and I don't plan to start over so I got bored there and started poking around here.
how that is possible, i don't know. i'm currently pregnant and read my bump birth month board fairly regularly and i'll just say it frankly - the difference in intelligence level btw here and there is astounding. i get that this board is MM so there's a different focus and it's filled with smart, saavy, highly educated women, but really, it's astounding. there is not a shot in hell i would defect.
You don't know how it's possible? The Knot, The Nest and The Bump are all part of the same platform company; it's really not that hard to fathom that people move around. It's the same audience, just at different life stages!
I guess you can have your opinion on which site is superior. Frankly, I encountered many smart, savvy, career-oriented women on the Working Moms board. ::shrug:: To each her own.
Pet peeve. The childfree community defines childfree as people who never want to have children. If you don't currently have children and plan to have them one day, you are childless, not childfree.
I'm childfree. I was sterilized last year at age 36.
Yes. Hopefully sometime in 2015. I'd like to be pregnant asap. We'll see how well that works for us. We want two but we'll see how well we keep the first future kid alive first, then figure out #2.
Yes, we plan to. Though I'd be perfectly fine not having kids. Knowing that my husband will be an awesome father makes it appealing though.
Childbirth and the teenage years are what scare me about having kids. Plus I was never around kids until I met my husband (who has two god children that we see all the time).

No kids for us. For a long time we were on the fence, but ultimately decided that without any clear desire it was probably best to not have them. Now we are 42 and 44 and still fine with that decision, though I do have a tinge of second-guessing now and then.

I think her point was that the bump was and, I guess, is well known for its crazy. I took her statement as TIC about how people could give up the sane conversations of these boards for those of the bump.
