This is the short version of what you agree to by using the site. We have written it as we would say it out loud.

Why the site exists

For reading and thinking about family life. The pieces are general, intended for a broad audience, and are not tailored advice for your individual situation.

The words belong to us

The articles, the design, the name. Please do not copy them as your own or sell them without asking first.

How we ask you to behave

Lawfully, please. Do not attempt to reach parts of the site that are not meant for you, and do not do anything that interferes with other readers.

About getting things right

We try to be careful and accurate, but we are only human and the world moves on. Treat what you read here as a prompt to think, not as the final word on anything.

If something goes wrong

If using the site causes you some difficulty, we cannot be responsible for it. It is provided as it is, and you use it at your own discretion.

If these change

We may edit these terms from time to time. The current version is always here, and continuing to use the site means you accept it.
