Comment Policy
The Journey of Parenthood is a positive place to help each other out. I welcome comments form all perspectives, but I reserve the right to delete inflammatory comments as I see fit. Let’s build each other up, not tear each other down. If you disagree with something and feel the need to write a comment about it, please do so in a respectful manner. I will delete all comments that are simply link drops.
I have had past issues with very ugly, personal and rude comments on my posts that borderline bullying towards myself and towards my family. I have zero tolerance for these types of comments and they will be removed immediately. I am always open to healthy, positive discussion but personal attacks will not be justified with any response or dialogue.
