    "Mom Caves offer women a sanctuary within their own homes to do things they love. It is not an indulgent space - it is a functional, restorative place where the woman who nurtures everyone else goes to nurture herself," says Elaine Griffin, the creator of the concept. Mom Cave is about carving out an area for doing a favorite hobby, spending time with friends, or just getting away from it all for a few moments.

      I SAID ,WOMAN CAVE ,MY KIDS ARE ADULTS WITH KIDS,TRUST ME IT'S WOMAN CAVE NOT A PINK MOM CAVE

      I hate all the pink! My Mom Cave would be in rich, dark colors like burgundy or emerald green. Pub-like, with brass and books. Cozy and comforting, not prissy. My collection of horse figurines would be about, and other things that are fun.

      Is this my idea of how my woman's space should look? I think not!

      I AM SINGLE AND MY WHOLE APARTMENT IS A WOMAN CAVE. EVERYTHING IS JUST THE WAY I WANT IT AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

      Not sure I understand this one. My house has seven rooms designed exactly to my wife's feminine tastes. Every room is a woman/mom room. If she gets another special woman room does that mean I get to decorate the other seven rooms man cave style?

      I've got a lot of planning to do:cigar humidor, some good posters, all sport memorabilia, a beer tap, jukebox, this is going to be good.

      Bleh! Way too much pink. And there is nothing to do in there. Just a bunch of frou frou and crappy breakable vases, pile it full of books and video games, and you might have something.

      answer to why do men get man cave and we only get mom cave. Its really simply, as a wife, gf or even some roommates, we don't want posters of woman and beer all over the house. so man cave is the one place they can put all their super guy stuff and leave the main house looking like a home and not a frat house. and why is it called MOM cave and not woman cave, if you dont have children the entire house is pretty much yours. so its one thing for us MOMS, its one place in our home we dont have to have jelly fingerprints on our cds, novels with pages that have been colored in, and most of all a child saying mommy every 30 secs. its a place for a mom to unwind and decompress.

      It's called a mom cave for 2 reasons. 1. single syllable has more punch. and 2. If we all start talking about woman cave, that will lead to all kinds of sexual connotations which are beneath most of us ( but not me)

      I, too, was wondering why it's "mom cave" and not "woman cave". Stupid... Also, I hope "Top Secret !!' has a man cave because that's where a caveman belongs.

      Just use the kitchem for a mommy cave.
      It has all that is required.
      Stove.
      Sink.
      Broom.

      My woman cave (forget Mom cave, I have an identity beyond reproduction) would also look nothing like the one above! Comfy couch, espresso machine, the Wii, and a wall of bookshelves. I'd never leave!

      why do men get to have a man cave, but women have to have a mom cave?
    • Elizabeth  •  1 year 4 months ago
      Eeeew, what is with all this stupid frilly pink foo foo stuff? My cave would be a cross between a NFL sports bar, movie theater and a PC gamer geek room. I think a combo of Silvermoon City and Undercity with a bit of Gilneas.

      Good point Scott.
    • FayW  •  1 year 7 months ago
      One things for sure, it sure as hell wouldn't look anything like that prissy thing in the article..
      My mom cave would look like a man cave save the sports bs,bikes and babes most likely.
    • Dreamer  •  1 year 7 months ago
      Love this!
