*Lulu* Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Is minimalist parenting like practicing benign neglect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm becoming a minimalist. I would be interested. Fwiw, I'm minimalistic in my parenting as well. That's the easiest place to do it, for me. As in, for this baby, I will have a portable cradle, a few stacks of clothes, a few quilts, a sling, a convertible car seat and a few dozen cloth diapers. That sounds like a lot :) I only need that much because it will be cold in December and we don't keep the house very warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Strawberry Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Perhaps the title Minimalist Group would be more accurate, if we are not limiting discussion specifically to minimalism in parenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I am on a fb group about becoming a minimalist which has been a great motivator as I start in this journey. I would certainly be interested in a social group about being a minimalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Everyone who wants a group like this wants less hassle in their lives, therefore, no one wants to start the group. Perhaps not having a group would be more geared to the minimalist mindset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Haha! Sorry! I had a busy day yesterday, hence my need for minimalism! I'll start the group. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFG Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ah...... I would be interested as well.

It proved to be a very successful method for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I was thinking that minimalist parenting was paring down the number of kids you had, and keeping only one or two favorites. I'm not sure what you would do with the other ones, though, unless perhaps there is some sort of "maximalist" parenting group in your area that was accepting donations.
