I also cannot see the need to have this list created as
private-secret-nonarchived. Some preferences specific to each of the
kids will be discussed, sure, but I really doubt strong
individual-characteric features of each kid will be part of
this. Stating you have a given number of kids, of a given age (or age
rank), or that you want allergies to be taken into consideration
should not require setting up another -private list. Even worse, as
you are requesting it not to be archived.
Maybe those needs would be better served by not having the list be in
official lists?
