Sub board?

[mouseinlux]

I've been meandering around and noticed that MM created a sub board for the kid related things? Do you guys think thats a good idea for here or should we keep up with the @s?

[travelingturtle]

I think that's a good idea.

I don't mind having the @. I kind of like reading the baby-related stuff, even though I don't have kids.

[karmaroma]

Don't mind the @s at all.

I like it with the @. If I don't want to read it, I don't have to open it. I usually enjoy reading the kid stuff even if I don't have children.

[allibally]

I don't have kids. Don't mind the @'s usually I open them and read/respond. I think it's fine the way it is for now.

I don't think there are enough posts on here to justify a sub board. The @ is fine for me.

The @ is fine with me. Whenever I'm in a fragile woe-is-me-I-have-no-kids-mood, I'll just skip them. When I'm not in such a mode, I do like reading them.

I'm not a regular (yet!) and also have no kids (again, yet!). But most of my friends do, and while I occasionally tire and have to take a child-free-zone time for myself, it doesn't bother me. Unless someone starts asking a lot of questions about gender related colours for nurseries. Then I will get violent.

Me too, and I have a kid.

As others have said, I don't think our board is active enough to justify a sub board.

I enjoy reading the @ posts and don't have kids. Aren't kids sometimes a part of the 'international experience'? I suppose I don't really understand why they need a sub-board, as for me they are a part of our lives as ex-pats (or ex ex-pats), just as sometimes people post about pets or husbands or random country-specific laws. Many of us can relate to all of those things, whether or not we've had that specific experience.

This exactly.

The @ shit was out of control on MM, so it makes 100% for them to have it but they're a much more high volume board than us.
