I have been with Cafemom since almost the start and while I didn't read every last review here I will say that you have to have thick skin to survive CM. Often times there is JR High Mentality (as with some of the reviews what are we 12?) It's an Adult board we need to remember to put on our big girl panties sometimes. I enjoy the brutal honesty and the general mayhem that happens. I Don't know some of these reviews are just as childish and petty as the things they are whining about.
My sister told me about this site and I've tried numerous times to sign up. Every time I tried to sign up 5 minutes later the site owners DELETED my screen name! I tried to log in with no success. I don't know what went on on this site but whatever it was for some reason I guess they do not want new members. I then signed up again to ask why I can't sign up for the site and 10 mins after I posted the question they blocked & deleted me.
Screw this site!
My sister almost killed herself because of this site! I was there at the same time as she was. She never did anything wrong, just posted asking for advice and her life was pulled apart, scrutinized, and destroyed! I check it out every now and then to see if the admins have done anything about this, but shortly after creating an account, It was deleted! Yet it takes them days or weeks to do anything else?
This place is toxic. There should not be a need to 'pull up your panties' and 'have a thick skin' what normal, healthy person would say that you have to just accept bullying!? And just let it go!?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I got taunted and inboxed all the time by 2 members on this site. I won't say what I talked about on this site but it back fired and I had two people in my inbox calling me sl*t, idiot, who®e saying Why don't you just jump off a bridge? No one will miss you! They harassed me daily and when I begged the owners to delete my post and my account it took the 3 days to do it! I got so fed up with the harassment I crouched down in my closet with a razor to my wrist. My sister walked in and talked me out off it. I'm glad she did. After that my sister had to get on the owners butt about deleting my account. My account is deleted but my post is still there forever. I advice anyone not to go to this site, the members will push you over the edge with their cyber bullying. Now I know how Amanda Todd, Megan Meier and others felt...
The people at Cafe Mom site found out about this site and are now posting positive reviews. Lol nice try. Like the other reviews says, it is nothing but bullies and people looking for drama. They wait for you to post something negative so they can feed off of it. They get a thrill at bringing people down to their level. The ones that say they do not like drama, they LOVE it! They bark at you and when you bark back they act innocent, report you and call you bat sh! T crazy. Then they continue laughing about it and stalking you months after. Believe the positive reviews all you want, it's only to lure you in. You will be laughed at, stalked and bullied.
I was attempting to read about childhood mental illness and impatient experience. There were constant pop ups that I had to x out in order to be able to read the article. I'll never visit the site again.
I have never been to this website and now there are pop ups about the british royal colonizers. I don't care about them.
Also I am not a mom. Also what on earth does celebrity gossip have to do with being a mom?
Why are there pop ups to this ridiculous waste of time coming onto my computer?
I asked Cafemom to deleter my account & while they did do as I asked, they also got pissy & blocked my IP from their website w/ no explanation. & like everyone said there are way too many bullies & mean girls. Probably, all teenagers trying to be grown-up.
I love cafemom. Of course there are bullies and hateful $#*!es and profanity and drama. There's also a lot of love and kindness and support there, too. It's all entertaining, lol! You can't take things personally, it's just a website with a bunch of random women you'll probably never meet.
I have been on the site since 2006. Their are groups that bully and harass. But their are also a lot of groups that you can join that are helpful and nice to others. Its all about what kind of people you want to hang out with.
