Your partner, ...Sadly, I cannot support Babyville. Your partner, Jean, came to our cloth diapering site, asked a lot of questions that in retrospect were market research, and then when she announced her plans, many people were upset as she was not forthright with why she was there. Up until the reveal, we all thought she was just one of the many grandmothers that sew diapers for their grandchildren. When the book was published, many members realized that the book looked an awful lot like the tutorial section, that's full of free tips and advice. I cannot tell you how upsetting this was to the members who did post those tutorials. <br /><br />Jean came into a very tight-knit community and tore it apart. She claimed this was all to bring out the wonders of cloth diapering to the world, but in her wake she damaged one of the biggest online cloth diapering communities. If she had just been honest with us in the beginning, it wouldn't have caused as much controversy. Now she's touting her business and we're left to pick up the pieces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
