your own board, really?

I admit, I do not know the specifics of AP but do you really need your own board?  Is it that hard to post a thread elsewhere?  There will always be people that disagree with you.  And what's the deal with circumcision?

For the record, I'm an EPer who cosleeps, CDs, makes all my own organic babyfood and cleaning products, did not have DS circumcised, Ergo wearing, wooden toys only except for Sophie and Gnon pie, French lullabye listening, pesco-lacto-ovo vegetarian, full-time dentist that lives in Alaska. and I have 1 cat named rudy.

what am I?

    :(  i'm sorry if you're upset the alaska board has been sort of hijacked.  if you feel like we should step out, i for one have no problem with that.  i know i wouldn't be thrilled if someone took over a board i posted on.  so let us know!

    as far as having an AP board, the reason i feel like it's a nice idea is that those who identify themselves as APers (which you might as well) are spread out over so many boards - the 0-6, 6-12, etc. boards, SaIF, PAL, EFF, BFing and on and on.  when i have a question that i'd love answered by like-minded mamas, it would be awesome to have a place where i know lots of those mamas hang out!  for example i can post a Q on the BF board, and get a few great responses.  but i am missing the input of tons of other APers b/c i don't go around posting that Q on every board on the nest.  does that make sense?

    i hope that helps as far as explaining why we'd like our own board (or at least why i would ;)

    What Gretchen said.  It would be nice to gather all in one place.  Preferably a safe place where anti-AP moms wouldn't get on us as if we all had 3 heads and pit hair down to our knees.  Wink

    This.

     

    But really, circumcision, EP, CD, toy choices, and eating habits aren't related to AP. However, if you practice all or most of the 8 tenets of attachment parenting you could identify yourself as an AP family if you wanted to. :)

    I'm actually all for APing and think it would be great to have your own board.  I prefer to parent by intuition which most of the time ends up resembling AP anyways.  As you can see, there are not many Alaskans here - so feel free to post:)

    Yah, when I was planning my wedding I was disappointed at the lack of board activity in AK. There were like 4 of us, maybe 5. Maybe there's more now, but this was 6 years ago. I don't live there anymore, but I split my time growing up between Anch/ER and Seattle.
