So, this is just a 'newborn' idea: what if there was an 'other' space for us - friends, parents - to connect, share, empathise, let off steam, catch up, shoot the breeze...but in a more private environment than good ol' 'everyone can see me' Facebook, or impersonal Mumsnet. Share those kid-related updates without fear of boring all your child-free friends, vent about your shitty day without the whole family listening in, share the tough battles and get some support back, without fear of being judgey judgey judged, and found wanting...
Because, oh boy, parenting is HARD. I'm tired, and it's HARD. Am I doing this right? Are other people's kids this whiny? Are other people's houses this messy? Am I really giving them pasta and peas for tea AGAIN? Will they notice at work that I'm basically asleep with my eyes open (again)...
Because yes, of course they are beautiful, and funny, and when they sleep they look like angels...but it's SUCH. HARD. WORK...
And the challenges just get different, not easier.
So if this works out then great, and if not, well I had fun tinkering around and finding out how to build this site!
Thanks for stopping by
Emma
