I’ve been working with new parents for over five years now and I think that the simplest way to articulate how a person's world changes when they become a parent is that after they become a parent, "parent" is the single most important qualifier of their life, for the rest of their life. Their role as a parent is simultaneously rewarding and humbling, the title "mother" or "father" becomes their highest achievement and the profoundness of the bond they feel with their children was wholly unimaginable before they became a parent. In short, becoming a parent was the best thing that they had ever or will have ever done.
I'm not a parent yet, but I have gotten to spend a lot of time with parents and as I see it, thepurposefulness and wonder that parents feel towards their children are probably the best examples of "awesome" that I could imagine.
For me, building Wee Web is about providing something for parents. It's about doing something that gives parents a place to celebrate what makes them a parent - their children. I'm building Wee Web because I want parents to have a place that understands them and a place where they can share what (and who) it is that makes them a parent.
