Terms of Use

Common sense rules for a common sense community.

By reading or using Aparenttly, you agree to a few simple things:

1. Be Kind and Respectful

Parenting is complicated enough; the comment section doesn’t need to be.
Everyone’s experience is different — disagreement is welcome, disrespect isn’t.

2. Use Content Thoughtfully

You’re encouraged to quote or share excerpts from Aparenttly if you include credit and a link back to the original source.
Full reproduction or republication of articles without permission is not allowed.

If you are considering translating, publishing, or reproducing any blog post, article, or text from Aparenttly — we truly appreciate your interest (we put a lot of effort into our content, and we know it’s worth sharing). You are very welcome to do so upon receiving written permission.

To obtain permission, please include the following details in your request:

which content you wish to use,
how and where you intend to use it,
your intended audience or publication purpose, and
in the case of translations, please submit your translated version before final approval.

We review every request carefully and reserve the right to kindly decline permission if we believe the use would conflict with our project’s mission, tone, or values.

3. Remember the Purpose

The content here is meant to inspire thought and reflection, not to replace professional advice or serve as therapy.

4. External Links

Sometimes we link to other sites or resources we find valuable. We can’t guarantee or take responsibility for their content, but we share only what we consider credible and relevant.

5. Updates to These Terms

We may occasionally update these Terms of Use to reflect new content or changes in policy. Continuing to use the site means you’re okay with the latest version — no hidden fine print, just mutual respect.
