Community Rules:
Be Decent and Civil – It’s fine to disagree with people but please remain respectful. Don’t insult people or their children, call people names or bring rudeness into it. Absolutely no bullying or personal attacks including going through someone’s post history to find past comments to use against them.
Use The Reddiquette – Basics include upvoting comments that add to discussions and downvoting off topic comments. Please don’t downvote people just because you disagree, diverse opinions are what makes our subreddit great. If someone is breaking one of our rules report the comment, so our moderators can remove it.
Don’t Create Inside Drama – Remember you are speaking to another person. If you are having issues with another user, message the moderators to help you deal with it and do not fight in the comments. Moderaters have discretion to remove comments as needed. Typically this action will come when one or more comment threads have moved off topic and/or have become contentious, rather than respectful sharing of information and opinions. If you are having issues with the sub and want to make a meta post, please message us first.
Don't Create Outside Drama - Please don’t pull issues with other subs into our community. No good comes of cross-sub wars and we don’t need those kinds of issues in our sub. Crossposting anything from /r/parenting to any other subreddit might result in a ban and may result in the original thread being locked.
Take Advice With A Grain Of Salt – Reddit is not the best place to get legal or medical advice. Your post may be removed or redirected. Requests for specific medical advice or diagnosis are not permitted in the subreddit because even medical professionals will not diagnose without examining the actual symptoms of a person actually present in front of them. Please refer all such questions to your pediatrician. If you believe your child may require hospitalization, please dial 9-1-1, your local emergency services, or call your pediatrician's emergency number.
Only Parents or Guardians May Submit Posts - It’s okay for everyone to comment provided it’s on topic and contributing to the discussion. Make sure you indicate that you're a parent or guardian to avoid confusion if it's not obvious! If you aren't a parent/guardian, or are a parent who would like to answer questions for non-parents, please visit /r/askparents. We also have a weekly Ask Parents Anything thread for your convenience.
We Discourage Linking Within Posts - We Discourage Linking Within Posts - Links are allowed sparingly from active members of the community if they promote discussion. You must be an active and participating member of our community before you're allowed to link. Link-only posts are not allowed even from active members of the community: links may be used as an illustration of a broader point, not as the centerpiece of the post. Please do not link to your blog, other active Reddit threads, or social media pages. Please do not post photos of your kids.
We Do Not Allow - Spam, self-promotion, fundraising, media marketing, surveys, donation requests, affiliate links, media requests, or any post seeking to use our community for profit, research, SEO/digital marketing, copypasta, etc. We do not allow missing person reports as we can’t verify if the person is really missing. Please report all such posts. If you are interested in advertising on reddit, please consider taking out an ad.
