AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

We need a whistleblower and some screenshots asap.

NotLeanButMean · 13/06/2018 20:38

Can't find it Sad love me some Facebook dramz.

BingTheButterflySlayer · 13/06/2018 20:37

If you want facebook drama - try some of the more US heavy crochet groups, particularly crochet-a-long ones before it actually starts. They go fucking insane... with sharp pointy objects to hand!

Stinkywink · 13/06/2018 20:37

I don't have a clue what the group is about but I want to join!

SundialInTheShade · 13/06/2018 20:36

@Fuckedoffat48b join some Scandi kids clothes groups, you can while away many hours watching grown adults get over dramatic about brightly coloured kids clothes

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 13/06/2018 20:35

Science aware? Are you all doctors/scientists/science teachers?

I have a PhD if that helps.

Lots of bitter ex members on here tonight being arsey too.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 20:34

I think it's a typo.
She meant NuttyElla the founder of the group ;-)

FlyingElbows · 13/06/2018 20:34

Is the Nutella compulsory because I can't eat Nutella. However, if anyone's got any popcorn and a bench I'll hang about and watch "cult wars". Grin

CaitlynsCat · 13/06/2018 20:34

and how do you get an invite to the natural Nutella cult? Is it run by the scientologists?

Zoflorabore · 13/06/2018 20:34

Found it, looks shite Wink

Op may have been rumbled though!

HarshingMyMellow · 13/06/2018 20:33

This is all I can conjure up at the moment.

'For the greater good'

Oswin · 13/06/2018 20:33

I tried to find it, but the one i found only has a few posts since 2017.

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 13/06/2018 20:32

Please anyone get us out of our misery!

What's a natural parent and what does Nutella have to do with anything!
Google is not helping...

ShirleyPhallus · 13/06/2018 20:32

I can see it but there are no posts since 25 May?!

niugboo · 13/06/2018 20:32

You can’t request to join. It’s a secret group.

Nutella thing is because they love Nutella. And saltwater sandals.

Fuckedoffat48b · 13/06/2018 20:31

I'm pregnant and I have been looking for some of the suitably bonkers parenting groups to while away the time.

I joined the local La Leche League FB group and it looks annoyingly sensible and supportive.

Gonna check out science aware natural parenting….

Whattheactualfuckmate · 13/06/2018 20:31

Wow Shock some of the members of it on here being arsey 😂

Cheby · 13/06/2018 20:30

This is a very weird thread.

HarshingMyMellow · 13/06/2018 20:30

What is science aware natural parenting? Confused

Esarosa · 13/06/2018 20:30

No

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 13/06/2018 20:30

If you don't like it leave and get a life. In that order.
