Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public* Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing.
A public forum.
Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:

23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

Out of curiosity, a few years back I went to the NGJ website just to check it out.

Big mistake. The first article I read was written by one of the Pearl kids and I just about had a heart attack.

She's not a member here anymore, and I can't answer for her, but some of the pearls worst stuff is articles on their website.

Probably because of how their adult children discuss their "perfect" childhoods.
