If you're a parent, you already know what's being discussed here. If you're not, you may never understand. The chat room houses frequent themed conversations on everything from the special parenting situations (single parent, stay-at-home parent, etc.) to support groups for every imaginable subgroup. Yes, there are the expected support groups for Attention Deficiency Disorder, diet/fitness problems, etc., but also groups for the specific challenges of raising boys. Or raising girls. Other times the chat room may be filled with harried parents luxuriating in conversation with other real live adults. The bulletin boards contain conversation folders on every topic you'd discuss with your parent friends but which your childless friends probably don't want to hear about. - E.L. subject matter: families
