it's crazy how this has morphed - it's like playing that game 'telephone'!
i have no intention on this being ANYTHING related to parenting other than stuff like playdoh recipes, and other craft ideas for kids. as far as the whole parenting thing would go, i just don't think that this would be the place. (i'm working on making a place where that WOULD be appropriate, to a certain extent. if anybody's interested, PM me and i'll give you the details if you want, but i'm still in a very initial planning phase, having started on it after seeing the responses this thread has gotten. but even there, i still have no interest in the whole bodily function thing other than a crafty idea or two to get your kid to use the potty. )
(thanks for watching my back knittymomma!)
the forum would just be home related stuff - not parenting, and not just for moms...... i say to include stuff for mamas because a lot of us are at home, and it just seems to be the appropriate spot for stuff for moms to do; mom projects (or things to make for other people's kids), and kid projects - instead of getting lost in or clogging up other forums.
in response to any implied reverse sexism, none was intended. it's just that this site seems to cater to the "fairer sex." believe me, i give my props to the men who stay home and/or are crafty in their own right, though i have yet to see any boys around here. (....and the 'today show' domestic diva was a MAN, but perhaps we should be more PC and use the term "domestic engineer"? of course, i'd prefer to go the other route with something like house goddess. but that's just me, and again, no sexism intended. really.)
