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.

Ironic that Derek never saw it coming.

It's called Science-Aware Natural Parenting. Cady, but it's gone underground now.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 13/06/2018 23:57

You need to build a square wave generator and play the sound at midnight on a full moon whilst wearing salt water sandles and a robe if you want to join.

Sad aw nooo,I love a good "engaged" for want of a nice word Facebook page!

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 13/06/2018 23:59

I think Derick was sent to assinate her by a scouse spirit from the 19th century.

Maybe torn but you need the robe if you want to access the sex parties.

Loandbeholdagain · 14/06/2018 00:02

I cried when there was a DENTINOX shortage. Maybe I should have tried Nutella as a substitute? Perhaps SANP could advice.....

Imagining the OP drowned in a Nutella VAT for her attempt to whistleblow. It’s like an 80s film with Tom Cruise.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:03

Sod it, I'll blow my own balloon and party alone!

WatcherintheRye · 14/06/2018 00:05

Have we established whether or not Nutella is involved in the sex parties?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 00:05

Just don't forget the cow pus. It wouldnt be a party without it.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:05

I'm Ex-parte at the sex party!

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 00:06

I think nutella is used as a lube substitite.
Not that I'd know...

MrsRyanGosling15 · 14/06/2018 00:08

Oh so am I in the twilight zone?? What the hell is going on? I was meant to be in bed 30min ago and I just can't get my phone to leave my hand. This is bloody nuts! One of the weirdest yet best threads I've read in a long time. Surely this needs saved in Classics?

TheOriginalEmu · 14/06/2018 00:08

@Atthebottomofthesea Though today I nearly hit a rabbit (or a hare how do you tell the difference?)

it's easy! one has long floppy ears, the other has a shell, one runs fast the other goes really slow and usually wins the ra.....oh wait, my mistake. thats a tortoise.
I don't know then.

Loandbeholdagain · 14/06/2018 00:09

What’s the offshoot sex group called? Sex Aware Nutella parenting?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:10

I think nutella is used as a lube substitite.

I think the idea is not to be 'tite' !

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:11

laughing at lube substitite (sic). Oxymoron of the week - fantastic!

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 00:11

Its called MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS BARBARA

AttilaTheMusical · 14/06/2018 00:12

I've never eaten a nut-based spread in my life, which perhaps explains why I am sitting here completely befuddled.
What science are they aware of that the rest of us aren't?
Where does the Nutella come in? No, forget that - I'm not sure I really want to know Grin

ConciseandNice · 14/06/2018 00:13

Does it work as lube? I’d be tempted to try. It just seems a bit viscous.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 00:13

Grin The sex cult leader actually has a micro penis so the nutella acts as a sort of filler, if you catch my drift.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:15

Nutella as lube? oh god no no no

If a bloke can't find that appealing, heaven knows how a woman can!

FredSheeran · 14/06/2018 00:15

BARBARA KNOWS WHAT SHE DID.
