BabyCenter

Made the huge mistake of positing a genuine questions on the AIBU and was absolutely hounded by awfully rude women using harsh language and inappropriate comments. I was genuinely shocked since I posted in good faith.

Really attracts a certain type of Karen and frankly I'm horrified how some of hear 'mothers' talk about other peoples kids.

It really affected my mental health sadly.

Seeing others say the same thing has restored my sanity.

AVOIDDD

A cesspool of unpleasant, unhappy, bored women who take pleasure in drama and cutting others down. Many of these women live on the internet. I honestly don't understand how they work or pay attention to their family given the devotion to this site. Really took a dive into extreme leftism in 2016 and dug the whole deeper in 2020 during the pandemic. No outside opinions that divert from the leftist narratives and agendas are welcome and you will be ganged up on for expressing them. If you value debate, freedom of speech, common sense, tolerance, and compassion this site is NOT for you.

I have to agree with most of the reviews here. I've been on there for a few years. There's some good advice and nice people but honestly that's the minority. I searched site jabber on babycenter to see if the members were aware of the horrible reviews and well, they laughed. That's about what I expected. They also thought women came here to this site to specially bash Babycenter even though this is a website for reviewing lots of things.

I have to say some of the drama is entertaining. When I get tired of it I just take a break. There is a lot of what I would call bullying there but there are also people who are super soft and can't take advice if they don't like it, so it goes both ways. I don't see why people get so upset about it to be honest. Anyone is free to leave if they don't like it. Drama is my guilty pleasure so I probably won't be leaving anytime soon.

The group owners, moderators are so awful. Not a single one of them actually offer support. They just repeat the same phrases over and over again. They're also very mean and judging to a lot of innocent women on there. Especially if they have a different opinion. I have been on there for a couple years but had a horrible experience today with a Group Owner. It isn't the first time either so I'm just done with the whole site.

The site itself may have useful information, but the community is a collection of harpies that get off on out snarking each other. They act as if they've never made a singe mistake in their entire existence, but if the OP has they'll relish in tearing her to shreds. If you're not exactly like them everything about you is wrong and your children will be horrifically damaged because of it. Don't ever ask for real advice, you won't get it. Don't ask for support from your fellow moms either. It doesn't exist in that rat's nest.

Oh boy! I thought the Cafe Mom site was horrible so I started going to this site. At first it was cool but then over the years it just went downhill. There are certain members who have been on here for years who are allowed to say what they want, be rude, bully and talk about others with out any consequences but once the poster defends themselves including me it's DELETE DELETE DELETE. They throw the word therapy around like a ball and are always accusing the woman of needing therapy but never the man. If you flip it around and ask them why is it that their husband's aren't seeking therapy they will delete the whole post. Oh and please do not use the word ALL because they will delete your post and accuse you of Gender Generalization. If you say "All men are the same" Delete. "A woman will always take a man back" Delete. One day they allowed my post to stay up for 3 days under my post the comments were awful and had vile words in it but when I mentioned a husband needing therapy under someone else's post they deleted the post right away.

The app is easy to use while pregnant but becomes a negative ad filled mess post pardum. The week by week tracker articles are poorly written and end with something negative for example my baby is 4 months and the reading about milestones and stuff starts off great then at the end of says what are signs of pinkeye? Why? My baby doesn't have pink eye or pink eye isn't a milestone why not put that somewhere else in the app like a common illnesses or a finder for someone looking for it? The week after what is an ear infection? Why? It's a negative ending to each week which leaves users with a bad feeling afterwards. I don't feel happy after using the app. I always look to other baby apps to shine a positive light to the weekly milestone because this one sucks at it. Look at "what to expect" they way they do it is much better all negative parts are to the side.

Women On This Site Are Rude And Uncaring Calked Me Troll No Reason Whatsoever All Because My Daughter Passed Away She Committed Suicide She Killed Her 3 Daughters As I Am Real Person Very Disappointed

A bunch of the entertaining regular posters recently got banned for having the audacity to openly disagree with leftist nonsense. Now the forums are nothing but immoral troglodytes and weak minded women.

Beware. If you are not a religious SAHM with a perfect marriage you will get abused by the women on this site. I posted asking advice because I was experiencing jealousy. I got attacked by dozens of women asking me personal questions about my marriage, shaming me for how long I'd been married, how quickly I got pregnant, shaming my childhood trauma, just alot of personal attacks and for no good reason other then to beat you down. Apparently you have to fit into a perfect mold or you're a bad mom, a bad and toxic person, etcetc. Evil cackling hens who are on a high horse and want to cause people suffering.

Same experience as everyone else, you will get bullied relentlessly and babycenter GOs and Mods are either bullies themselves, or possibly just too scared of the bullies to stop them? It's hard to say, but my life has been much happier since I stopped going there. Save yourself some unnecessary stress and stay far away!

The women on babycenter often censor any Christian posts. The website is very christophobic and targets posters that have faith. They often bully people and have cliques like I haven't witnessed since 6th grade. Very toxic and disappointing site.

Just cause it's the Internet and were not face to face they are so ugly and rude, I was browsing on there and they were ganging up on some girl that kept posting and changing her profile the poor girl was just trying to get second opinions about her pregnancy test and since they were all negative they were telling her she's never going to be pregnant, I also posted some of my favorite baby names and I got so many ugly comments saying they nominate me for worst baby names ever.

Honestly this site is full of women who are bitter and the losers of life in every sense of the word. Insecure and uneducated are understatements. They're supposed to all be full time working mums but sit there slaying people for kicks all day long. The frequent posters are simply put sad. Full of either mental health issues or just plain lack real social skills. A little band of women who find themselves using this site as an arena to feel big as they are truely nothing in real life.

My account has been disabled and BabyCenter has BANNED me from there site for absolutely no reason I was accused of being a KKK member Something needs to be done about and to BabyCenter because the site is completely out of control and deserves to be shut down and the Staff needs to be fired GO's need to be replaced with honest ones BabyCenter is owned by Johnson &Johnson's bullies mean nasty racist women are all over BabyCenter Stay away from BabyCenter at all costs

If you're looking at the community tab, hoping to find some people in a similar situation as you that could offer advice or be helpful, then go for it. Sometimes you're able to find that.
But besides that, don't even bother. I see so many people posting questions they have and then they get bullied in the comments. Most of them even come from group owners themselves. They go back and forth being hateful and its so nasty.
They will 100% make fun of you and wish ill upon you. I've even seen some people keep track of others posts and their life, trying to insert themselves and say 'well didnt you post [x]? So you're lying about [x]' etc. wtf?
Also if you struggle with infertility, pcos, endo, etc - this is NOT a healthy website to be on for your mental health. Ive seen people joke about those things often.

Biggest bunch of bullies I've ever come across, most of them are admin/moderators so if you call them out on it you get banned, and called a liar with multiple usernames! If you have a different opinion to the majority your bullied and hounded till you leave, Debates and discussions is notorious for it, it seems to be run by a few long time members, most likely the same person that has nothing better to do with her life. Uneducated leftist views. Steer clear of users W_a_l_k_e_r, Anonu0864b, Cogs3, ymofive. Most likely all the same user and admins so no help if you need it. Delete and move along

I thought this was a real community where you could express your concerns and embrace pregnancy. However after sharing some intimate details about my life, I was personally verbally abused, victimized and attacked. I will never recommend this website to anyone ever again. They need to clean up their boards and users that have nothing better to do than to pry and judge innocent people. Shame on this community! If I could give 0 stars I would.

The admin of the site ban anyone conservative. It is perfectly fine to get your child a sex change but god forbid you support Trump. If you want people to talk to join a parenting group on Gab.com where you won't ever be censored or treated like an idiot for asking a question.

The Debate Team and Bargain Hunters Board seem to be full of "friends" who all agree with one another. If anyone posts another perspective then all hell breaks loose. Suddenly the post is filled with supporters who will trash a poster. The Debate Team doesn't actually debate, it should be named Opinion Team. If a poster does post a great rebuttal then it gets ignored.

Just a bunch of sad, angry women bickering over nonsense. No real support. Try a different app that is better moderated and addresses harassment.

Amazing resources, love the weekly updates that we get on the growth of baby. The app is super user friendly too!

Just find any positive review. Those are the people that bully and bring people down, then leave good reviews because they enjoy it. They peaked in high school and are sham's now looking for that same mean girl high they got when they picked on the EC kids
