AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

[Scienceawarenaturalparent]

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.

Found it, looks shite

Op may have been rumbled though!

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

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".

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

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.

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

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

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!

Can't find it love me some Facebook dramz.

We need a whistleblower and some screenshots asap.

You quite sure you haven't stumbled into a swingers group??

I won't flounce but perhaps you can do a nice collection for me because I spent all my money on new boobs so cant make the rent

ooh, they've just taken their Page down from public Facebook, how many shills do they have posting here as well?

madness.

3-way relationships and everything

Is there a leader? Is he a very fertile man? Does he wear a robe?

Wins the Internets this evening, thank you very much

It used to be great. Rather like Mumsnet, but with an identity behind the posts.

Pro cloth bums/breastfeeding/mooncups/instant pots/vaccination, but accepting of choice. Lots of LGBTQ members and interesting educational debates around these issues.

Then there was a change of admin and it all turned veeeeeeeery cliquey.

Especially when admin became sexually adventurous with other members.

Was fun while it lasted. I won't miss what it's become.

It sounds like an awful clique, and I would leave it.

NuttyElla. Ok. Well they want to sack her off and go with Nutella because it's more interesting.

Science, I found 5p in the tumble dryer so you I'll donate that to your rent

The first rule of science-aware natural parenting is that you do not talk about science-aware natural parenting.

It has vanished.

How were they sexually adventurous with each other? Did you all live close to each other?

I think Science was referring to another member of the group who indeed got a boob job and couldn't make rent, and asked the group for financial assistance, which they provided.

I'm gripped.

Perhaps they have drunk the kool-aid now.

Have to say I’ve not been in there anywhere near as much as I used to. I seem to have missed the 3-way/admin gossip..... need to know more......

Although, to be fair to kool-aid , they actually used Flavor Aid.

In this country I guess you'd go with SunnyD.

Is this the one? Wonder if they'll let me join?

Sssshhh, they're watching us.
They're everywhere.
