Edited to add that I'm so, so happy to be here. My original comment read as being very negative; finding all of you has actually made me feel great! The bitter divorcees and twenty year olds who think that primary caregiver = conniving leech have finally chased me off reddit. The fat activists and MLM folk have corralled most of the Mummy internet AND, annoyingly, the small business community as well. I also don't spend enough time online to be able to participate in speedy, blow by blow discussions, so the more relaxed, thoughtful pace here is very welcome. I may not write for a while, but I'll be reading a lot.
Sorry My mind latched onto Reddit -> Twenty Year Olds -> Activists -> MLM and then filled in MLM to mean Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, which has a decently sized base of twenty-year-olds on r/socialism. In retrospect, it wasn't really the obvious choice for me to assume as for what MLM meant. ... I need to remember not to comment on stuff before I have coffee.
