Park Slope Parents reached its 6th anniversary on July 8th. Wow! I can’t believe it.
What did we do before PSP? Where did we get information about schools, mosquito bites, raccoons, potty training, learning disabilities, airplane trips with children, concerts in the park, post-partum depression and so much more.
Oy, the information we’ve gleaned from the members of PSP. The power of a question. The power of so much collective experience. The power of a community willing to share with each other the process of raising children. I salute everyone at PSP for creating something so vital, so powerful and so informative. Susan Fox, founder of PSP had this to say on the occasion of their 6th anniversary.
It dawned on me tonight that today (July 8th) is Park Slope Parents’ 6 Year
Anniversary.HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO PARK SLOPE PARENTS!
I would really love to hear people’s best / funniest / most poignant / most
educational / most helpful memories they’ve had on the list.I hope that Park Slope Parents has helped ease the sometimes rocky road of
parenting for all of you. I know that your advice and insight (and humor)
has helped me (and my family) get through things such as “Candy Sneak,”
“Monster Scares,” “Baby Back Packs for us shorter folks,” ‘Transitioning to
2 kids,” “VBACs”, “Why Why Why Why !?” and “Leg Cramps.”We’ve seen Happy Days, Fidgets and Go Fish come and go. We started when the
only available baby carriers were only the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder,
the Maya Sling, and a $5 Chinatown Mei Tie. Life is good here, and there is
a good reason that Park Slope has been ranked one of the top 20
neighborhoods to live.Thanks for taking the ride with me,
Susan Fox
Founder, Park Slope Parents
I bookmarked your blog, thanks for sharing this very interesting post. =)
Hello! My name is Madeleine. I’m a musician, brand new to the Brooklyn area living in south park slope/Greenwood cemetery area. I am looking for new music students, focusing on cello. All ages and levels are welcome. Although cello is my main instrument, I also give lessons to families interested in singing together, learning rhythm and beginning theory! A new website is coming soon. I am excited to be in this area and look forward to connecting with new people! Please contact me at macellist@gmail.com if you are interested.
Where did self-important and socially unaware parents complain to each other before PSP? However did the world revolve and the sun rise each day?
Happy Anniversary to, by far, the worst part of “new” Park Slope.
This post – and this blog – makes me miss living in NYC! It’s where my son was born (he’s now 2 yrs old) and where we lived before moving out to the West Coast.
