Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion or "I built X" posts are not mentioned in the rules. The subreddit focuses on personal stories and support regarding difficult mothers and mothers-in-law, with strict guidelines on post content and behavior.

Before you post: No allowance for self-promotion or project sharing is indicated. Posts must strictly adhere to the subreddit's theme of discussing MILs and mothers, with rules about nicknames, OP's well-being, content warnings, and prohibiting monetary requests.

The rules, in their words

1. MIL and Mom-related Posts Only: More specifically, YOUR MIL/Mom. Other people can absolutely be involved but they cannot be given their own thread. Currently step-moms, and grandmothers are included in the umbrella "mom" term. If you know your SO is also part of the problem you're welcome to mention it, but otherwise users are barred from offering SO-related advice.
2. Only MIL / Mom Gets a Nickname: Nicknames are reserved for MILs (or moms, if your mom is your primary JustNo). All others must use the acronym dictionary listed in the sidebar or a basic descriptive name (e.g. Father, Best Friend). Please do a search before naming your MIL. FIL names prior to May 2016 are grandfathered in.
3. OP Comes First: Be kind, be respectful, be supportive. Remember the human. OP’s will select a flair for their post indicating the kind of support that they need. Comments that violate the spirit of that request will be removed. You can find more information on post flairs and what they mean in the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/justnomil/wiki/index#wiki_post_flair_guide).
4. One Chapter At A Time: For those who are posting past stories, refrain from creating more than one thread in a 24 hour period. For those posting live updates requiring immediate guidance, if you are within 6 hours, please edit your original post.
5. No "JustNo" Behavior: We have a zero tolerance policy for armchair advice that is damaging, factually incorrect, or egregiously shitty, sexism, racism, xenophobia, transphobia, ableism, stereotyping, slut/body/kink-shaming, anti-vaxx bullshit, and just generally being a butt. No posting personal info, including faces or identifying tattoos or marks. Any comment with "cartoon-level" violence MUST: A) indicate that you don't actually suggest users do what you suggest, and 2) include actual, usable advice.
6. Use Content Warnings When Applicable: For posts with potentially upsetting content a brief description is required in the first line of the post (e.g. CW: Reason). It is recommended to add "Content Warning" or "CW" to your title as well, but not required. Titles containing words that are particularly likely to be upsetting (see [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/justnomil/wiki/index#wiki_6._use_content_warnings_when_applicable)) will be auto-filtered.
7. No Posts or Comments That Request/Offer Money or Gifts: This includes linking to amazon wishlists, gofundmes, appeals on your profile or subreddit, or links to other sites. We also do not allow commentors to offer money or gifts or to start fundraising on an OP's behalf. This includes DMing an OP or via chats.
8. No Fearmongering: Advice given must focus on the OP and their situation. Commentors should not jump to worst case scenarios, such as kidnapping or the potential for violence, just because it once happened to someone else. Responses must be proportional to the post and respect OP's boundary and focus for their post.
