Thanks everyone. I hope I can use you guys as a substitute BMB because the BMBs are DEAAAAAAADDDDD. They are 😪 ours is barely hanging on. I ended up going back to TB and joined mine there 🙈 I did that for my S'18 kid. I was ashamed lol, but there was so much more activity. Our S'18/O'18 here was pretty good for a while, but it's so quiet now.

DS does this too. There’s only so much he can relay on his own anyway. I’ll ask him yes or no questions about his day, and everything is a yes. Who knows what happens there. Yep, this was him for a while too. He also told me he does yoga at daycare, which I'm skeptical about. We get daily sheets summarizing their day (generic, played pretend with dolls, played with trucks, etc.) and I have never ever seen a mention of yoga. I asked him to show me some moves and he did a perfect downward dog. I've done yoga with him a couple of times many months ago and haven't kept up and he definitely did not have any moves down. My kids do yoga at school. It's a special activity class once a week. Maybe not for your kiddo since there's been no mention of it on the sheets, but there are places that do it!

I jumped right in a month or 2 ago then promptly forgot this board was here. Probably when we started a new month so the new randoms thread didn't appear in my participated threads on Tapatalk. Here I am trying again.

I'll have to ask the teachers about it one of these days, maybe he's telling the truth.

Nymeria, and cmb is it still crazy over there? I was there a week before the move happened so I never had a bmb there. From what I understand it can be... intense?

Nymeria , and cmb is it still crazy over there? I was there a week before the move happened so I never had a bmb there. From what I understand it can be... intense? It seems to be very BMB-specific according to some moms in mine that had been there since right after the exodus. On mine there were some arguments early on over board set-up and whether topics should be posts in a thread vs their own thread - that type of shit got heated at times, but it did settle down and was good enough to get through my pregnancy. Towards the end, about 15-20 of us more regular posters spun off into our own private group on TB which we then migrated to a private ProBoards forum. We are still very active with no drama.

This sounds nice, but there are times where I can barely keep up here. i'd be kidding myself if I think I could actively participate somewhere else. Gone are the days of dicking around on the internet for hours at a time and getting paid for it, like my last pregnancy.

Let alone keep up with multiple places.

S14 is still going strong, 5 years and counting. I love those ladies and I don’t FB so I would be bummed if anyone left. A17 has slowed down but still dig those chicas too.

I think that the BMBs that formed before the first exodus have stood the test of time better. Maybe because it's just the sheer number of people that came over? But some of them still have daily threads on here.

So I emailed the 3 officers listed as car seat technicians online days ago for help with the diono seat I’ve been having trouble with and have gotten no response 😑 cool.
And like someone mentioned, of course the other insurance company is being annoying and saying they won’t pay for new seats. How the f do you know if the seat is fine? Just take a guess and hope for the best. I think it’s BS to expect me to either take the risk or pay out of pocket for 2 new seats? Wtf

S17 on TCF was small to start with, and we lost more during that implosion. There are only 22 of us in the FB group now.

Wtf I hear you, my friend just got the other insurance company to say that they will pay for whatever her insurance company bills them for. she's now trying to get her insurance company to put the damn seat on the bill. It's beyond frustrating and stupid. Can you try calling the police station itself?

jt2378, have you checked safekids.org or Google safekids and your state? Mine lists locations (police stations and others) and whether or not you need an appointment (most don't). There is also contact information for the Safe Kids coordinator in your state so if you have trouble they might be able to help you out. This list is different from the list on my state's government website so you might find more options on one or the other if you haven't already looked up both.

Hi! *glues butt to seat* My BMB on here is crickets. I did join one on TB but abandoned it pretty quickly; then I joined a Facebook group and, lort, I wish I could unsee some of the things I have seen.

Wtf If I were your lawyer, and I am not, I would send over a settlement agreement which states they will assume all risk and liability as a result of not replacing car seats damaged by their client as required by the manufacturer.

I’m glad drop offs are going better. DD is okay as long as her favorite teacher is there at drop off. Walking in I give her a pep talk, no crying, big girl. She says ok, I not a baby. I take her to the room she’s fine no crying, waves bye and everything. Then I walk into the main office building to check her in on the kiosk and on my way back to the car I can hear her wailing. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I'm sorry. Maybe she just needs to get it out? Do you know if it lasts long? That's gotta be rough on you every morning. It is so tough. The kids in her class love her, they will hug her but in that moment she just doesn’t want to be there. Her teacher said it doesn’t last long. Some mornings (if I’m not running late) I will sit with her and eat morning snack until her favorite teacher comes back. I feel like by the time she gets used to her new room she’ll be moving to the preschool class.

Thanks ladies, I appreciate it. I’m going to have MH send that link since it states graco should not be used and those were the 2 seats in that car.

We were so small to start and the move didn’t go well for us. I never joined my first one, May 15 because every time I thought about jumping in crazy board drama happened.
