These are the house rules for mamarants.net. By reading or commenting here, you’re agreeing to them. I’ve kept them short and in plain English, because nobody reads the long ones, me included.
What this site is
Mama Rants is a personal blog written by a US mom under a pen name. It’s opinions, experience, and research, written the way a friend would explain something to you. It is not professional advice of any kind.
Not medical advice
Nothing here is medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice, and it isn’t a substitute for someone who has actually examined your child or looked at your situation. Posts about sleep, food, behavior, or development share general information and what has worked for some families. Every kid is different. For anything about your child’s health, ask your pediatrician.
In an emergency, call 911.
Accuracy
I work hard to get things right, and I name my sources so you can check them. Still, products change, guidance gets updated, and I make mistakes. Information on this site may be out of date by the time you read it. If you spot an error, tell me through the contact page and I’ll correct it.
Products and links
Gear posts compare products using public information like manufacturer specs, safety guidance, and recall records. Prices, features, and availability change, and I can’t guarantee any of them. Before you buy, check the details with the seller, especially for anything safety related like car seats or sleep products.
Links to other websites are there because they seemed useful. I don’t control those sites and I’m not responsible for what’s on them. Some links may become affiliate links in the future; the affiliate disclosure explains how that works.
Comments
Comments are welcome. Disagreement is welcome. A few things will get a comment deleted without discussion:
- Personal attacks on me, on other readers, or on anyone’s parenting.
- Spam, self-promotion, or links that exist to sell something.
- Anything hateful, threatening, or sexually explicit.
- Other people’s private information, including photos or names of kids.
By posting a comment, you confirm it’s your own words and you let me display it on the site. I may edit a comment to remove a link or personal details, or delete it entirely.
Who owns what
The writing on this site belongs to Mama Rants. You’re welcome to share a link, quote a few lines with credit and a link back, or print a page for your own use. Please don’t copy whole posts onto another site, sell them, or feed them into something that passes them off as new.
The limits
This site is provided as it is, for free. I can’t promise it will always be available, error free, or right for your family. To the extent the law allows, I’m not liable for decisions you make based on what you read here. Use your judgment, and check anything important with a professional.
Changes
These terms may change as the site grows. When they do, this page gets updated and the date at the top moves. Continuing to use the site after that means you’re fine with the new version.
Questions
Something unclear? Ask through the contact page. I’ll answer in plain English.
