Information on Parents

[mom-in-alberta]

Hmmm.... I have only been "here" for a couple of months, and didn't even know that this used to be an option.
I honestly don't think I would use this feature. I prefer to get to know a family, on my own volition. I think sometimes people's personalities don't mesh well, and that would make for a large number of the "BAD" reviews. I know that this sometimes means that I can end up with lemon-family, haha. But I would rather discover that myself than have my opinion colored with someone elses.
Didn't mean this to sound preachy or anything.... I just wanted to weigh in, since I didn't even know there was such a thing!!

Way I see it - I want to know the non-payers and those who mess around (I just got screwed over by a new family earlier this week and now am without income). It is not slander/libel/defamation when it's factual. If you stray from the facts and make it personal or put emotion in it, it can be a legal issue for sure. I think that most people would be able to read through the lines and see whether it's a personality conflict or a true issue, you know? But overall, there are reviews on everything out there in the world and opinions, so why not on parents?
