What the...?

So....

You've got a board for Mums/Dads/Grandparents etc.
You've got a board for Couples.
You've also got a board for Singletons.

Where do you post if you're in a live-in polyamorous relationship with no children? :think:

We are still allowed to go and read the other threads, plus this way we don't have to wade through all the various stages of pregnancy threads!

Wade through? I never found it that onerous I have to say, just scroll past and ignore if you're not interested.

I won't feel welcome on the mums and dads or couple boards now though, its too excluding, and I don't expect this one will get much traffic.

Well, I don't like it!

I like having our own board, thank you MSE! I feel important for a change, big difference from the politicians and media spouting about families and pensioners.

Really? I feel shoved out of the way.

Same here! It'll feel like we're intruding if we post on the other boards now. What will the threads be about here? Dating sites and how to cook for one? Urgh.

I don't because we are not a child board we are a board in our own right on Home & Play! :T I don't know that I'd have separated couples, maybe had couples without children in with Singletons and all the pregnancy and TTC stuff as the other board? But am sure there is method in the madness! This board only has to feel dead and out of the way if we let it, I guess it depends what old threads we are 'allowed'.

I think it should be a family board and a friends board. I'm not all that fussed but to be honest don't like to be defined by my relationship status - I am who I am and it shouldn't matter whether I'm single, cohabiting, gay, straight, whatever.

I wonder why they didn't just go with a 'Pregnancy & Children' and a 'Relationship' board instead? That way if your question was specific to pregnancy/kids there would be somewhere obvious to post it and the other board wouldn't distinguish between someone's marital or co-habiting status. As it is, I can't imagine that Grandparents would be particularly interested in pregnancy threads....yet they're now shoved in with them.
