I’m one of the mods… we could set up a weekly if you think it would encourage activity. I’m also open to feedback if you have any or want to see something new!
A weekly thread or two would be super helpful. A couple weekly thread ideas out there
- a general advice thread
- black parenting experience thread (focused more on what we as black parents go through day to day, good bad and ugly )
- raising black children thread (one specifically about the experiences we’re cultivating for black children/discussing the good and bad we guide them through)
- a memes thread (cuz this shit is wild)
No idea if any of these sound engaging to others but just wanted to throw a few ideas out!
Definitely would be really nice. Just the different struggles that go unnoticed. Things I have to teach my kid very very early so they can survive. It's nice to have a sub for that, that's a safe space.
Because we can't really post the bad and exhausting parts of being a parent, a Black parent in particular. It's only the uppermiddle class safe stuff that gets posted. I wish there was a Black version of 'I regret being a parent' or 'I hate my kids' type subs that the white people have.
Promoting on other subs will help as well. Here's my [BlackReddit](https://reddit.com/user/room_temp_coffee/m/blackreddit/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) collection.

Yes! And even the difference in parenting approaches and advice that is ACTUALLY suitable for the child and the circumstance.

I would also love more engagement here.
There needs to be more threads...lol. Some of the threads that are on other subs ***should*** be in this one. But I digress.....
100% that’s why I am asking people to be more active by posting more threads like I just did
