Machine, dude, WTF? I can only speak for myself here, but I DON'T have a problem with the rules or limits of the challenge. What's the point of a challenge without them? However, I DO have a problem with the subtle (or not so subtle depending upon your view) implication that the only traditional or happy family is one that consists of at least a mother, father, and a child. Some of us aren't blessed with such perfection. As for the challenges, I look forward to them every month. They help me learn and create different things in different ways. I have no problem with the rules or the guidelines set forth for each challenge. The only problem I have is stated above, and that really doesn't have anything to do with the challenge itself, IMO.
