Mum's to be, Mums, Babies, Kid's subforum?

This has been bought up before but never got discussed

. Would it be possible to have a Mums/ kids subforum, it is getting hard keeping up with whos expecting, who has new borns etc. Having them all in one area may make things a bit easier.

This reminds me i must share photos of my 'new' nephew (he is 3 months old now).

Just an idea.

Not a good idea then?

Well, it seems like it would "segregate" Pet Talk more, and General is where we share all our happy people-type news, and I find it fun to find out baby stuff and see the pictures there, whereas, seeing as I am not a mom, it might be awkward posting in a "moms and kids" forum.

Gina - "sandragonfly" once started a "Kids of Pet Talk" thread - maybe it is time to dig that up and update it?

I think a separate area would be great! It wouldn't separate PT. In fact, it would give people more opportunity to post and to have those pics not lost in one huge thread.

"Junior or Mini PTers" would be lovely

I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I don't think it would segregate either, the same as people without dogs or cats will read/post in cat or dog general. It wouldn't just be for pictures, it'd be a great place for all those 'new mother' questions or moms asking other moms questions about issues with their kids. I think it'd make it easier for people who might have advice to not miss these threads then, as threads in general are buried pretty quickly. Picture threads wouldn't be lost and buried so quickly under birthday announcements and games and general chatter.

I do think that new pregnancy and new birth announcements going in general would still be great even with a "PT kids" subforum.

Just some of my thoughts.
