Hey wait a minute — where's the forum?

One of the most frequent questions about Offbeat Mama is whether there's going to be a forum/online community like the Offbeat Bride Tribe. The answer is definitely no. Unfortunately, in many years online, we've yet to see a parenting forum that didn't eventually devolve into angry debates, accusations, and flame wars. We simply don't have the resources to moderate a forum — and mama ain't got time for drama! For this reason, there are no plans to start an Offbeat Mama forum, although we encourage you to get involved with us in all the ways we've described above!
