IncitefulMamas forum is all about woman to woman support
with a strong emphasis on breastfeeding & natural birthing advocacy and
support. It is not the purpose of the IncitefulMamas forum to act as a
Lactation Consultant or Medical professional to its members. If you are
having serious breastfeeding problems or other medical issues, please
consult with a Lactation Consultant or appropriate Health Care
Professional for advice. If you want to bitch about having your nipples
gnawed on by vampiric children, consult us.
The forum is open to all but please be aware that we are not a
mainstream parenting community. It is our intention to keep the
IncitefulMamas forums as loosely regulated as possible so that we can
express ourselves freely. However, we do have a few guidelines that you
will need to keep in mind, and some tips to make your experience more
fun than a barrel of monkeys on crack:
These forums are intended to provide a place for debate as well as
support. Heated debate, venting, and swearing are all fine. Swearing is
good fun and a sign of superior intelligence. You MAY NOT bring
other's children, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation,
appearance, etc. into the debates. That leaves you plenty of other ways
to insult others, so be creative!
We aren't here to affirm everyone's choices or opinions. We don't blow
sunshine up anyone's tushie and if we don't agree with you we're going
to tell you. Yeah, you’ll hear about it, but we expect the same from
you. So, if you are looking for a place where you will not be
challenged, this is not the place for you. If, however, you have
multiple personality disorder and you can get into a heated argument on
one thread while on another thread cooing over the kid of the person you
were just fighting with, you’ll be fine. Helpful tip- don’t take debates
personally. Jezus, it's the internet, people. Sit down, have fun, bitch,
argue, coo, whatever. It’s not rocket science.
Do not even waste your time with a post about how the language or topics here are upsetting to
you. If talking about abortion, politics, feminism, breastfeeding, sex,
tattoos, baby poop, or any combination of the above bothers you, then
what are you doing on the internet? Find a sweet little playgroup in
your area and stay away from the Scary Mommies. Maybe someone’s invented whinymoms.com, we don’t know -- go check. Members will not be expected to
censor themselves for fear of offending others.
One final tip: If you come in and feel left out and like you’ll never be
one of the group, remember that we were all new here once. Now we’re
family. The kind of family you only see at Christmas because we have a
tendency to drink too much and embarrass you in front of your new
boyfriend, but family nonetheless. We’re sweet and generous, we just
have big mouths. Give us a try, wussie-girl.
If you agree to the above guidelines and we didn’t scare the crap out of
you with all our silly rules, then enter the
forum.
