<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR><STRONG>1. Who should be in this group?<BR></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>- Anyone who is technically childfree (has never produced an offspring of any kind).</DIV>
<DIV>- Former step-parents (were married to a parent, now divorced, widowed, etc.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd also be open to anyone who has had a child but gave up for adoption/miscarried, etc. Also empty-nesters don't bother me too much - especially if their children are friends of mine. Technically their children aren't children anymore so that's a grey area. For me I just don't want to be spending time in this group with people who currently have little rug rats (as Ann mentioned, that defeats the purpose of this group).</DIV>
<DIV><BR><STRONG>2. When should a person leave the group?<BR> </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>As soon as a person becomes a parent (however you define it ... step, adoptive, etc). of a child (someone who is not an adult).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>3. Who should enforce the rules?<BR></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>I would like to see the founder of this group enforcing the rules. </DIV>
<DIV><BR><STRONG>4. What constitutes a CF event?<BR></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Any event that is posted on the Wiki and/or mailing list, that does not come with a specific disclaimer of "this is no a child-free only event". And I also agree these events should be kept to a minimum.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>5. Comments</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also agree that for events that are not designated "not a child-free only event", any one dating a parent should not bring said parent along. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd say if someone really wanted to bring a parent along, they need to ask the entire group if it's ok first and explain the situation. </DIV>
