Last week’s news that the popular Park Slope Parents list and website was considering charging members a $25 annual fee elicited a wide range of response from its users and others (see the poll we ran here) as well as plenty of news coverage. And now there’s another response: A band of dissenters has started a new free list targeting parents in the Park Slope area called The Other Park Slope Parents list. The group describes itself as “Fall off of parents who were a part of the Park Slope Parents list and believe that community lists should be FREE.” For now, moderation is “light” and they’re hoping that people “think twice before you post on a potentially flammable subject (ie vaccinations).” This should be interesting.

bxgril, feedback,advice – same difference. People post questions asking for advice and others will respond with advise or share their experiences. Same goes with these parenting webistes. Its the same thing no matter how you slice it.
As for name calling – one good insult deserves another. When you allude to the fact in your early posts that parents don’t know what their doing today, as a parent it can be a little insulting. But hey we’re New Yorkers here, whats a good argument without a little mud slinging :>. But I offer my appoligies if I insulted you.
Just for the record – when I lived in PS I used to hang around a group of moms that whenever someone did something over the top we would say “stop being such a park slope mom” The funny thing is many of them still live in the slope and still say that and find the stereotypical Park Slope mom annoying. So not all PS moms are bad.

145 would be three standard deviations above the mean on the IQ scare. there is no way you are well above three standard deviations above the mean. that would put you in like the .01 top percentile of the kind of intelligence the iq test measures. i simply cannot accept it. i think someone was pulling your leg when they just “happened to come across some files.”

Rob- how did you damage your ear? Busted eardrums will do that, sometimes if you swim in deep water. Is it still bad? You could try out a hearing aid- you like music, and I know loss of hearing in one ear seriously affects that.
(see- we can be civilized 🙂
keep laughing rob. Mine’s documented and in the triple digits. I’d assess you at- to be kind- 100. Maybe 155 but certainly just average. FYI- 150 is not outlandish. 160- 180 is. But you wouldn’t know that because well… because you’re you. Sitck to what you know- your posts yesterday on K-Y jelly is about right for you.
oh wow bxgirl, twinsies! im actually more than half deaf in my right ear. i had a few surgeries as a kid but it didnt seem to do much. my hearing was very bad as a kid then it seemed normal for a while. then in 8th grade i had another operation and i dont think it did anything. (not even sure what they did tho). oddly i went completely deaf in my one ear right after i graduated college, it was seriously scary. then it came back partially after a few weeks. i probably made it worse cuz as a kid i used to always stick things in my right ear when i was upset. (wow that sounds strange saying it out loud!)

The schools did the tests. They don’t tell you the numbers but a friend of mine worked in the principlas office and he sneaked a look at the records. My tests put my parents in a tailspin because my grades were poor and it was the ifrst time people realized my hearing was bad. I couldn’t hear in class.

italiana- what’s up with that? What do you think blogs are for? I don’t think we actually come looking for advice- feedback is more like it. It would be pretty foolish to make decisions based on what’s posted here and most of us know it. We do try to get different viewpoints. We do it for fun-that’s all it is. What made you so upset and call us hypocrites?
i never said being an old egg causes any of that. all i did was state that in my 32 years as a human being on the planet Earth, everyone i’ve encountered who came from an old egg had something slightly off about that. and that “off” covers a lot of stuff btw. it doesnt mean they dont have outlandishly high iqs like bxgirl (lol) or they arent well adjusted people (hells i KNOW that more kids from teenage parents wind up being screw-ups), that’s not my point, some of you completely missed my point, which is fine cuz half the time i have no idea what some of you are talking about either.
here’s the thing. eggs are finite and the egg you came from has been inside of a woman since birth. the longer that egg has been around the more amount of psychic energy and various other phenomena affect it. physical, mental, psychological, yes even psychic and paranormal, but i dont wanna get all x files or anything here.
