I don't see what the liability would be. I think they pulled them because of the multiple and egregious violations of their forum terms or standards or whatever they are called. I'm actually surprised that a couple users weren't banned, because they were harrassing another user, cyberstalking her, and posting personal info about her. I wish they would have banned one of them. [ Reply | More

Well, there was a business involved in one, and I wonder if they complained of defamation because one of those posters really trashed their website, pictures, experience, age etc. There have been plenty of nasty threads over the years, and npn never enforced their standards before. Geez, the self pitying and incoherent rant from you-know-who when someone pointed out her hypocrisy. Made no sense and denied even criticizing the business in posts right there in black and white. And oh she is supposedly protecting the board from bad nannies because she is the one with balls and conscience. Nuts, just nuts. [ Reply | More

Right--the one with the agency posting. The ones just prior to that had some crazy-ass cyberstalking. "You live in ___, right? And you're in a custody dispute, right?" Should be banned for that, IMO. Would make the boards a hell of a lot more pleasant and productive, that's for sure. [ Reply | More

I'll probably stick it out a little longer. I still get good info and tips on things to do with kids. That will probably be less as they get older. I do like the Chicago-focus, but the discussions are much less interesting than they used to be, and dominated by a couple nutjobs. I think a lot of interesting posters have left or stopped posting due to the crazies. [ Reply | More

Nutjobs I can ignore. I just find is sad (the SAHM who wants to go back to work to do something worthwhile), disturbing (the psychology suggests putting the 2 year old on a sticker reward system to control anger), petty (the whole thank you note thing.) No one ever seems happy. [ Reply | More

Just curious as to what you mean by "down to earth". Recently I have given a lot of thought to the things I read on UB and what I experience in my daily life. The obsession with brand names/designer, fashion, cliques, life style competition I see posted here daily, amazes me. i don't experience any of that in my daily life. I honestly don't notice what in the world people are wearing, don't judge them for their clothes or lifestyle, don't get pissy if people are just going about their business at school pickup/drop off and forget to say hello or include me in their conversation. I just find the women here (UB) to be so much more insecure and self conscious tha anyone I know in Chicago IRL. Curious what your experiences are. [ Reply | More

Sounds like you just might be under a lot of stress right now and reacting to someone whose problems, in yuor mind, just don't compare. This is normal/natural (see post below re: SIL lifestyle. Clearly the OP is feeling much like you at the moment). Sorry but you just have to move past it and not compare yourself to others. As the saying goes, "If you compare yourself to others you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself." Hope you find the outlet you're looking for.

That would be Item 1. Totally agree she should not be running a daycare.

I am amazed that she thinks her contributions to the board are a "selling point." Overall, she comes off as unable to handle her own emotions and feelings, which she appears to deal with by alternately lashing out at strangers on a message board or posting long semi-lucid ramblings about how sad she is that come off as a cry for help, all the while making herself clearly identifiable. I am so not surprised that she hasn't filled the small population for her homestyle daycare yet. [ Reply | More

Say all the things you'd never tell me if you were standing right here in front of me. Hide behind the pseudo-anonymous website and tell me what kind of horrible person I am, because clearly I must be pretty awful to generate such comments. You people have no idea how horrible you are, or how horrible your words are. This is why I left NPN. No, I am not still there. Because of horrible, ugly people like you.

OR: you can use this site http://schoollocator.cps.k12.il.us/ to check each indiviual address.

I highly recommend checking this for every address and if you're close to signing a lease/contract call cps and re: verify the neighborhood school for you address as the boundaries do change and the cps websites are not always up to date.

If you don't need fancy, look at 55 West Chestnut. It's an uncharming, very basic, and affordable high rise, parking in a garage below (get on a waiting list). Laundry in the basement, window unit ACs. I think it is Ogden district but triple check. Some high up apartments have views of the lake, but siren sounds really carry. Address may technically be gold coast, but there's an SRO hotel nearby, Chicago Ave is a major east-west, red line train very close. Newberry library also close, nice small park. Might be a good spot to live for a year while you figure out where you want to be. http://www.draperandkramer.com/gold_coast.php [ Reply | More
