Probably not a good place to get parenting advice. JUST SAYN.

Anyone who has read what this site is about couldn't possibly take everything seriously lol. however, it'd be easier to find traits among children of the same sign, or whatever. Seems like every website has a parenting forum these days. Surprised not to see one here.

Maybe a disclosure would be needed: Do not adhere to any advice on the forum for legality purposes. Ha. I dunno.

Why does it have to be advice? I just want a place to rant anout my scorpio child. You people are acting like child rearing is some sacred practice.

lmao...there's a lot of cool stuff to share too though....for instance, there are so many new apps, some are really good for creativity, learning, etc., tons of good tutorials for kids on youtube, etc...

Parenting + DXP = Oxymoron

Disclaimer: I know there are good parents here. I'm just saying that DXP is not a parenting environment, in general.

Watcho mean by that? But, yeah people will swarm on ya ass if they don't like what you say....

Ain't that right. @ellesbelles? Lol.

Parenting questions are still asked here and there... I've participated in quite a few.

As a Cancer and parental figure of the Zodiac, I personally would not mix parenting with DXP. Personally, I probably wouldn't even use the internet, unless the information wasn't available from someone in my circle. Eve then, it would probably be a parenting site.

its like any other subject really...you can share info/resources around recipes, health-related info, apps/tools for learning, age-appropriate movies, etc.,...can't think of any reason why this should be a taboo subject....have been in some really helpful convos just on the misc. board...

the convos I've been in were more discussions/sharing, and not arguments at all, but yeah I can see it being a touchy subject for sure if people start taking offense, some are overly judgemental etc...

You can, and people do that without the internet anyway. I don't see the big deal.

I relent. Give the people a parenting forum.

Lol My original statement was actually a joke. I'm not actually a parent myself, but I've had more advice given to me on parenting by the around me than I can remember. Lol I'm sure either source is just as valid.

I figured both that it was a joke and that you aren't a parent, but was still already feeling defensive like "You're not even a parent! GTFOH!" and had to edit my post....this stable community obviously needs more reason to form cliques around sensitive subjects lmao....can see a bitter war breaking out betw. this new forum and whoever posts on the Cats board...
