Actually if there were a separate section for parents/children here there probably would be quite a few important/interesting threads that i never would have seen. It's just not a subject i'm generally interested in to put it mildly. Unless a thread in some other section were to point to a thread in that section i would NEVER venture over there. I come to a PET board to talk about PETS. There are plenty of parenting forums out there on the net. I don't mind occasionally reading about the other family members though over in General.

I actually think it is quite sad at some of the threads i could have missed out on if there had been a separate section.

For those that are concerned about loosing track of the children threads, make up a new folder in your Subscriptions. I have separate folders for Dog, Cat, Pet, and Other.

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.
