~*Welcome to SuperMoms!*~


BICKER BAN IS: ACTIVE
see rules for info on bicker ban.

This thread was created to support the Parents in the Gaian Community. Dont be fooled by our title; We happily accept both Moms and Dads of any age, race, religion, the whole shebang. If you are pregnant, or someday hope to become a parent, you are more than welcome to join in. No parenting subject is ignored or kept hush-hush, as the thread will cover all aspects of parenting, from the nitty gritty to the squeaky clean.

~*Thread Rules and Guidelines*~


Before you enter the thread:
take note that a bicker ban is frequently enforced in this thread.
a bicker ban will be placed to prevent drama, arguing, and to keep things calm and welcoming like they should be. Anyone who posts something during the bicker ban that is meant to offend, clearly create an argument or criticize other members of the thread will be banned for 24 - 48 hours. You will recieve a PM alerting you of your 24 - 48 hour ban. If you cannot recieve PM's, you will have a comment left on your profile.


If you are coming here to say,"Omg u gai'z, I had seks nd nao i'm preggerz nd i dunna wt 2 do."
take note...

IF YOU HAVE SEX YOU RUN THE RISK OF GETTING PREGNANT.
Do not come here to b***h and moan that you had sex and might be pregnant, because you know full well that there was the risk of getting pregnant the moment you put a p***s near your v****a.

~*No spamming.
~*No trolling.
~*No posts that consist of only emoticons, or a few words. i.e 'hi'. Doing so will get you banned.
~*Do not quote others and change what they said in what you are quoting.
~*Do not create huge quote trees.
~*Unless you want to be banned and have a new hole ripped, you will not criticize any of the parents here because you dont agree with their parenting styles. if you dare call anyone here a bad mother or bad father, your permabanned. It is a massive insult and will not be tolerated, even for a minute.
~*If you find you are banned or unable to post (the reply button is whited out), PM me or one of the mods. If you are still unable to post (give it a day or two), then your just plain old banned. Enjoy.
~*This thread is to be a polite, welcoming and considerate place. Any scorn, hate or arguing will be stopped immediately, otherwise suspension will occur.
~*Debate will not be seen as argument, unless criticism towards others (in the thread) occurs.
~*There is to be no sexist remarks. examples: "women belong in the kitchen" and "men are only good for sex." Saying things like,"i dont know how men/women think the way they do," will not be classed as sexist.
~*Respect everyone's decisions, whether it be bottle feeding, circumcision, etc, even if it goes against your views. Pushing your views on others is not acceptable and you will receive a warning if me or any of my mods feel that you are pushing to an excess.
~*Due to previous discussions in the thread, view pushing on circumcision will now result in permaban.
~*Everybodys children are fantastic, but none is greater than another. each child is equal, so please take that into consideration when/if boasting about your child. Remember that nobody likes a boaster, so please keep it to minimum.
~*For anyone who is seperated from their childs father/mother (i.e single parents, re-partnered parents), please do not use terms like 'sperm donor' and 'birth machine' or any derogatory remarks/names. No matter what they have done to you/your kids, they will always be their other parent. You are however allowed to say those things IF:
your child was conceived via sperm donor.
your child had a surrogate mother.
You will receive 3 warnings for this rule alone.
~*Do not come to my thread, begging for donations for your quest. Unless you've spent a good amount of time in my thread and been nice, maybe even befriended some of my ladies, your not worthy of any donations. If you beg, you will be banned.


If you break any of the above rules, you will be banned without warning*. If you think this is unreasonable, PM one of my mods, and ask them to forward your message onto me.
*excludes the 2nd last rule, which the 3 warning process is applied.

This thread is done nicely.

However, I'm 17 and childless. So I'm not much help here.

Good luck, though.

I support this thread.

While I, too, am childless, it'll happen eventually. Nice to see people reaching out to people who hold what may possibly be the hardest job known to man. You win the internet. Please be careful with it.

Lovely thread! I don't have kids of my own yet, but my mother is most definitely a SuperMom.

I love her and give her all the support she deserves <3

Alrighty, so you know me aleady Bitchworthy but I'm going to introduce myself to the rest of the people who may stop by.



My name is Kayla, you may call me by that. You may also call me Shin or MilkBitch. I'm 18 and I recently had my handsome baby boy on January 28th 2009 weighing in at 8 pounds 10 oz and 22 3/4 inches long. His name is Lukas Donald Theodore [insert last name here]. I'm pretty happy being his mom, as I'm sure most mothers are happy being parents to their children. His daddy, Richard, absolutely adores Lukas and treats him as if he were the babyking of the world. I put babyking, because Richard is adamant that he himself is a king and Lukas is his babyking.


Here's a picture of my little prince charming


Quite the chubster, yes?
     
Oh and Bitchworthy, the link for the growth percentile doesn't work. Perhaps try this link?

growth percentile.
 
     
 
My friend is the most amazing mother in the world! She might only be 16 but she has a beautiful daughter called Coral, shes almost 2 now and is going to give birth to her son very soon. Definetly class her as a supermum because she looks after her kids as well as going to school and doing very well there! Their Dads a very good parent too!
     

Like my pets? Tell me. They're a great conversation starter.
