I can't believe the amount of women who have the hide to judge, abuse and be rude to women coming here because obviously they don't have much support outside of this page. Next time you want to be a COW! be it to yourself and not to someone who is seriously coming here for help of ANY KIND. We all have our own problems and struggles everyday, the least you could do is say something nice or not say something at all. I felt like this was a safe place for me as a young, first time, struggling Mum and how mistaken I was!
And if you think "everyone has a right to a free opinion" then maybe you should take a good look at yourself and think about how much your opinion is worth! Like I said, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all!
THANK YOU to all sisterhood who did help and give me the support I needed without being nasty but I wish no longer to be apart of this group. I'd rather be without any support than take my chances here of encouragement over being put down and judged.

Absolutely agree! Well said
Everyone has a right to freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean that they have a right to abuse or belittle someone because their opinion is different.
People seem to forget that freedom of speech means you can have any opinion you wish and voice that opinion, not that you can insult, harass, or abuse someone who's opinion varies to yours.
(For those who need a reminder, I'll use a common motherhood debate as an example - freedom of speech means that you can say that breastfeeding shouldn't be done in public. Freedom of speech does not mean you can harass a woman who chooses to breastfeed in public, call her disgusting, and try and force all woman to breastfeed in a toilet.)
Aww love i'm sorry you feel this way.
People can be very harsh. I didn't see your original post but don't let the bullies push you out. Stand strong, you're a mum who is brave and amazing which is obviously why you came in here asking fo help and suggestions. Keep your head up high and don't let the nasty people control your mood or decisions X
I actually rely on good friends telling me the honest truth, even if it might hurt a bit. Sometimes what people might need to hear isn't all rainbows and sunshine. If I wanted to be placated with bubbly nonsense I could quite easily pretend to have a conversation with my cat.
Hey Anonymous, Kelly here from The Imperfect Mum team.
Sorry to hear that you did not have a very good experience from posting your question...
We do ask that people write into the page when there are nasty or trolling people writing responses. Kristy (the founder of The Imperfect Mum) and myself do not have the time to read all the responses and rely on people writing into the inbox to tell us when there is something going on that is against the ethos of the page.
We are able to ban clearly unsupportive people and will not hesitate to do so to protect the mums writing in.
Big hugs and hope that this site may be better to recieve nicer responses in the future. The mums here are awesome :-)
