I think you are missing my main point.

If the site owners have kids, they will understand all the vast differences in parental philosophy and choices. And they can predict some of the positive and negative reactions to their product.

I personally have a negative reaction. I also clearly stated that I thought others would have a positive reaction.

The point isn't the specific reaction of any given parent. It is the full spectrum of reactions that the general population will have. If they have children, this is a topic they probably already know. If they don't have children, they could be in for surprises.

So it is a valid question -- "Do you know your market?"



FWIW, three children. Ages 3, 6, and 8. We live in Seattle. Their grandparents live in Massachusetts and Maryland.


The founder's answered, but I can't really imagine someone setting up a site like this who didn't have kids. It screams of 'spotted a niche/problem'.
