Moms,

Mom.life is intended to be a supportive community for moms and moms to be. Let's not be so quick to judge without knowing a mom's full story. This is a place to share the experience of pregnancy and motherhood, get advice, support each other and connect with other moms who get it. While the vast majority of members and posts are positive in nature, we need the help of each and every member to maintain our positive environment.

So, please take a moment to read the following guidelines.

1) Be respectful of others on the forum. Even though you may strongly disagree with or be shocked by something, please respond with courtesy. In some cases, this may mean not responding at all. We encourage different opinions and discussions, but it’s important to do that in a respectful way. Anyone who is unwilling to follow this guideline risks being banned from the community.

2) We are all doing our best as moms. We want everyone to feel safe and have trust that they can be open and honest. It's to be expected that members of mom.life will have different experiences, opinions and perspectives on the same topic. Again, we encourage all opinions to be shared in a respectful way. One way to post your negative experience is to state that you did not have a good experience, and that you can be contacted for details.

3) Under no circumstances is it ok to criticize another community member or name call, whether this is in the main feed or a private message. If a mom asks for opinions on a topic, please feel free to share your perspective, but do not judge or criticize others with different views. If you ever have questions related to our community etiquette, you can message @mom.life_USA. And if you see a message that violates our guidelines, please tap the three dots at the bottom right of the post (tap or long-tap a comment) to anonymously notify our community managers.

Thanks for helping to keep mom.life awesome!
