i have an account with cafemom because i thought that it would be a great place to get advice from other moms. boy... was i wrong about that place! all i have encountered are a bunch of dumb, judgmental, bitter hags. i mean, i have made a few friends on there that are generally there to work out some issues or just to talk about other people that are going through the same things as them. but i mean, what is with these people? do they have nothing better to do than to sit around and complain about other people's parenting styles? and while they are doing this, who is watching their kids? all i'm saying is- get a life people. didn't your mothers ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?????

I am so sorry to hear of your bad experience with cafemom. I have been a member there for about 6 months. I have never encountered these problems myself, but I have seen what you are talking about in certain groups there. The groups that I see that are nothing but bickering, I stay clear off. I did find one great group on there that is for local moms that live around me and they are very nice lady's.

I have been on there for three or two years now and have not run into thouse kinds of things. But you know if you find one of thouse type of members you can report them to Cafemom. You can also get out of the groups that you just don't like and find another group the same with other people that you are comfortable with. Here is my Cafemom members name mom24boyz if you like add me to your friends list.

I've been a member there for four years. One of WORST groups I've encountered on there is the Newcomers Group. Those women are the most stuck up, illiterate, stupid, and RACIST hags I have ever encountered! I have seen a good amount of them post how ALL Mexicans should be deported or killed. WTH?!?! And these women are supposed to be mothers showing their kids right from wrong? Yet, they promote racism, but want to say it's ok because they only hate Mexican?
There is one specific stupid hag that flat out said foreign languages should be removed from public schools with the exception of ASL so she could communicate better with others because she is deaf. Fist off I have no problem with ASL, I can sign a bit, but I'm not fluent, .... my biggest problem is she is so ignorant that she can't even SPELL ... she types illiterate sentences like "theyz shoodz spek ASL fur peoplez lik me" (translation: "they should speak ASL (sign) for people like me).
And OMG the ladies are flat out STALKERS. They write threatening/ harassing PM's (private messages)if they don't like your opinion. I knew one woman who changed her account like 3 or 4 times because this other woman kept looking for her new accounts & would repeatedly harass her.

That's really too bad. I've been a memeber of cafemom for awhile and it's been a pleasant experience. Now, I have seen the kind of stuff you are talking about going on, especially in the questions/answer section. Lots of judging and talking down to others going on there. But you are going to meet all kinds of ppl good and bad anywhere you go in this world. I don't go there for drama, so when I see stuff like that, I just hit my back button. If I see a group where that kind of stuff is going on, I leave the group. I'm there to have fun, not bash other moms. I don't add ppl to my friends list that is like that either. You shouldn't have let that kind of stuff run you off. You have as much right to be there as anyone else. If you ever decide to rejoin, give me a shout. I can promise drama free..non judgemental friendship :)
