Welcome to 30-Something-Mothers-and-Fathers. This is a brand new group dedicated to the mutual support of parents and expectant parents in their 30s. You may also be interested in oldermoms and mucholdermoms.
After joining, please post an introduction including, but not limited to, as much of the following as you're comfortable with sharing: A. Name B. Age C. Location D. Children, Ages and Names E. Relationship Status F. What do you like best/worst about parenting in your 30s G. Tell us about your favorite shoes - or a non sequitur of your choice ;)
I am your moderator and you may contact me at antonia3001 at livejournal dot com
Basic ground rules.
1. This group is for parents and parents-to-be in their 30s with children of any age, but the primary focus is on mothers.
2. Members should expect to find and provide mutual support and respect in this group.
3. Members should respect that other members may have different philosophies on parenting and have made different choices. Members may disagree with those choices personally but will refrain from arguing or attacking others about their choices. There is always room for respectful debate and disagreement. Choose your words carefully when discussing any volatile subjects. If a member is asking for support concerning a choice already made, other members will respect that request for support and refrain from criticizing. parenting101 is a good group if you'd like to argue hot topics.
4. Re-posting threads from this group to any "snark" community will not be tolerated and will result in immediate banning from this group.
5. The default security setting is "friends only" to protect our members privacy and pictures they may post.
This is draft 1.5 of our profile description. Removed info for founding moderator who is stepping down. Expect to see changes and improvements as the new moderator aelphaba takes over.
