WE'VE MOVED!  See below. ------------------------- Hi Everyone, Thanks for checking out our single parents helping single parents group. Things have been slow to get going in this group on the Meetup site.  The consensus is that Meetup is not the right vehicle for a group of this nature.  Meetup is designed for specific events at specific times and is not a very good communication tool.  It does have a discussion board, but it is clunky and no one uses it. So we're moving. From now on the GO …

My goal for this club is mutual support, friendship and above all, …

This is a meetup for second-time parents. I've been there, I've done the first-time-mom's, group. We're still running strong. But what about my second child? There will be no latte-sipping on luxurious cafe couches while discussing the latest stroller colours and wondering what my hair will look like in the birthing pictures. Nope. I need a support group that can discuss sibling rivalry issues while pushing a swing, covered in peanut butter, with one eye on the sand box. We'll meet in child-frie …
