Someone recommended I use Blue Host for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on www.parentswithattitude.com using them? Hi guys,

I thought we had a great discussion at the Battle of Ideas yesterday about 'why we need a parents' liberation movement' - indeed whether we need one at all - which did, as I concluded in the session, lead me to think that it would be good for those of us concerned about the trajectory of parenting culture and policy to do something, and think about what that thing might be. I'm not quite sure how this has already crystallised into the existence of a fully-formed 'PLM' - not least because I've always thought that movements needed to grow out of something, rather than be launched or founded overnight. What's interesting though is that there does seem to be a sense among some in the media that parents should be rising up against some of this stuff, which sometimes leads to a certain wishful thinking that they already are. That happened recently over some of the controversies about vetting, too - I often have to explain that despite a few critical voices, a lot of people are just going along with the vetting scheme and nobody's actually building barricades.
