[glow=blue,2,300]Hello and welcome to our group. [/glow]
Stay at Home Parents was originally started in the MSN communities in 1999. Later they changed the name to MSN Groups.
Our group, here at proboards was registered Jul 8, 2007 but did not open up to members until October 24, 2008.
The group is active and has topics that are interesting, fun and informative.
We welcome both men and women to the group. We welcome working and non working parents.
Our group includes recipe boards that are easy to navigate, crafts that are broken down into different categories, gardening help, pet information, and good old fun.
A few comments we have gathered from some of our members:
Don't accuse us of being mean. We only have so much sorport to offer.
Please don't tell us we must have a lot of time on our hands since we are posting to a thread....so are you.
Even if you believe you know it all, there will be several people more than willing to prove you wrong.
Please do not tell us that we are acting like highschoolers or junior highschoolers, we are more intellegent than that.
Please don't take everything so seriously...most of us are a very light hearted bunch.
Don't judge the whole group just because of one persons lack of thinking today.
We all have little "darlings". Remember that our kids are just as special to us as yours are to you, so don't get in a snit if we don't go ga-ga over you 200th post in a week of little "precious's" latest cutesy thing.
Your kid is NOT better than my kid...get it straight!
For every person who claims they're a perfect parent, we'll show you 10 ways you're screwing up.
Don't threaten to leave. If you don't like it here, you know where the door is.
Don't lie. You will be busted.
You CAN, however say the following words:
Penis
vagina
menstruation
pregnant
Remember, prego is a pasta sauce
There is no such person as Aunt Flo. Remember that.
DON'T TYPE ALL IN CAPS. YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT IT.
Don't be offended if your post gets no replies. There are lots of other posts that don't get replied to, either. It has nothing to do with you, personally.
Don't ever start a post of by saying.......This is not meant for debate. You know darn well it is.
Don't delete a post until I've been able to see it.
Don't tell us your child can predict the gender of your next born child, as well as the date and time you will deliver it....and then wonder why people begin speaking like "Wise he is, wondering if lotto numbers he will give me I am."
Get familiar with www.google.com, we are NOT your personal search engine.
Don't come in saying you got pregnant when your best friends husband was sleep walking and the two of you had sex. We've heard it a few times already. We didn't believe it then, either.
Oh, there are members here who are a little ummm, .....dillusional. They think it's all about them. It's ok, us wise one's know it's really about me, and we just play along with their story so they don't go running around clucking like chickens pooping on the floor in their straightjackets again.
Don't badmouth junk food. It shuts them up, and that's the goal of good parenting.... creating quiet.
There are a few mob-like cliques here. Figure out who they are, who's in them, and who's the leader. If you mess with them, you're doomed to an eternity of fleas from 1000 camels in your crotch and they'll make your arms too short to scratch.
Don't, no matter what, spell something wrong. You shall instantly be dipped in a vat of bleach water and used to mop the floors of every members house.
Typos are fine...ignorance is a different story. If you "hom skool" but can't "speel", it might be a good idea to keep that tidbit to yourself.
If you screw up your punctuation and keep confusing "your" and "you're" because you tried to type too fast.... just ignore it and hope no one else notices. (They will...)
Be yourself. If you try to be anyone else you'll be hung up and flogged as a fake and tried as a poser.... the penalty of wich involves becoming a group leper and being left out in cyberspace for the virtual wolves to eat.
All of the roles of the group are filled, if you'd like to be the "know it all", the "perfect eater", the "perfect parent", the "perfect wife", the "woman with the perfect body", the "best speaker", the "perfect cook", or the "Don't second guess me, I'm always right" member of the group...you'll have to stand in line and wait your turn. These roles are currently occupied. The line is long so be prepared to wait awhile.
If you're selling, we aren't buying. It goes back to the fleas and short arm thing again...
Whatever you do, DO NOT start the Christmas threads in August. People tend to get a little high strung about that.
Know how to laugh. Often.
"Posting when drinking or stressed is not an excuse to be an idiot." But it does provide us with some entertainment, lol
remember you cant see these people....
you dont know these people in the real world........
you never really know who you are communicating with.......
Take this forum for what it is worth and dont let it take over you..........who cares if some poster doesnt agree with your parenting skills or your advice....this is a good place to vent, research, help others with your experiences while getting a good giggle in or feeling empathy for a gal across the pond......
Never post about your kids riding like screaming maniacs down the street and then post of picture of them Not wearing a helmet. Flogging will commence. There will be casualties.
Always, always wear your tinfoil hat.
Don't show us your rash. If you don't know what it is then there is a good chance we don't either, go to the Dr
Do not say anything negative about chocolate.
If you post asking for opinions, don't get bent out of shape when you get them.
Don't post a big long thread telling us what we need to do to make this group "better" (in your opinion) how if we all just thought alike, never stated our own opinions, and behaved as you think we should, how much better it all would be. The masses will not conform to the will of the individual. If you don't like they way things are run, or how people here relate to one another, then this is probably not the group for you.
If you are still interested, why not apply and see what else might interest you in our group.
