I propose a sub board

[loskadoodle]

I'm ok with whatever makes everyone happy. On the mm board on the nest, people used to put @ before the title of any baby related posts so people who didn't want to read them, didn't have to open them. Now they have a sub board which also seems to be working. But there are so many more girls there to sustain both boards. I would be a little sad if this board were to die though.

I am a little late, but I will give my $0.02.

I can kinda see both sides of the issue. I think this board should be for any type of post. People are at different stages in life or have completely different goals in life. I don't want to see this board die. I do like it here even if I took a few months off.

But it wasn't just this board that got to me. I had to block every pregnant person on FB too. It has nothing to do with that particular person, and I don't wish them any ill will, just the constant reminders of my struggles were making me an emotional mess. The issue is with ME, not others. I can't expect people to walk on egg shells around me. I would rather ignore the fact that I am having issues having baby #2 for the last 2+ years, and as of now I can't even TTC due to other medical issues that need to be taken care of first. Who knows when I can even begin thinking about TTC again

I don't know, I know it's pretty easy to spot a baby/pregnancy related post but sometimes the titles are enough to trigger sadness. But again, I don't think people should not be able to complain about pregnancy just because I can't have a baby. It's just the reason why I have avoided the board for months.

So yeah, I don't have any input on a suggestion, LOL.

First off, I want to apologize to anyone that I have hurt with any kid posts that I have.

Secondly, I'm at a loss of what to do - I do not cease being a woman, partner to Luis, or a person just because I have children, so I would be visiting both hypothetical boards, and sometimes, especially when one's me-time is limited, this is a pain and could very well lead to the death of at least one board. I have made a lot of wonderful, supportive friends here, and you all accepted me when I didn't fit the mold of "wife" (I'm still not sure I want to be a wife, but I guess I will find out soon enough). I would hate to see this end.

However, it seems that the lesser of the two evils would be to have a sub board. I think we should see how it goes, and cross that bridge when we get there.

I would also like to point out that this shouldn't be a battle between moms vs non-moms. So, some of you don't want kids - that's cool. Truth be told, I wasn't sure I wanted them, so I am pickin' up what you're puttin' down. But, I don't get huffy when others post about their things that I do not care for. This is how I roll, but then again, I don't expect everyone to do the same.

Hope I didn't upset anyone with all that.

I vote for not having a sub board but putting a @ or some other "sign" in the subject so I can ignore those posts if needed.

I like this idea.
