Please see the message about moving and merging Parenting threads and give your opinion. I hope most of you would agree that we need a separate section dedicated to teens.

When I’ve got one I’d like to read and get advice please keep separate. 👍🏻

Got a way with a 5month old but teen threads can be a refreshing change to weaning and breast feeding threads, I like looking into the future sometimes Nx getting ideas 🤷🏼‍♀️

ExpletiveDelighted · 15/05/2019 21:38

Please keep them separate, I have no interest in babies and young children, been there, done that.

Staywithmemyblood · 15/05/2019 21:39

Agreed - teenage board is best kept separate

cathay123 · 15/05/2019 21:40

Please keep it separate - it has been a big help to me.

triptrapdollydumpling · 15/05/2019 21:42

Please leave the teens alone

EstoLargo · 15/05/2019 22:25

Please keep the teen board - it and the child mental health board have been invaluable over the last 18 months.

incogneto · 15/05/2019 22:26

Agree it makes sense to keep it separate.

DramaAlpaca · 15/05/2019 22:28

Agreed. We need a separate board for Teenagers.

asdou · 15/05/2019 22:28

Definitely need a section for teens. It's as different as owning cats and dogs and they've two separate forums for those.

BillywilliamV · 15/05/2019 22:29

Leave it alone please!

Agree.

mbosnz · 16/05/2019 17:27

Agree, please keep us separate! It really gets tedious when someone with a total of six months experience of parenting lectures someone with 16 years of it about what they're doing wrong with their teen!

5LeafClover · 16/05/2019 17:31

Agree, please keep it separate.

Chewbecca · 16/05/2019 17:35

Agree, agree agree

AdelaideK · 16/05/2019 17:38

I agree. I have no interest in slings or potty training and the teen threads will get lost in amongst them.

corlan · 16/05/2019 17:42

I'd agree it should be kept separate. It's been useful to me in my darkest hours with my daughter and it's so important to be able to get advice from people that have been ,or are still, going through the same issues.

woodlands01 · 16/05/2019 18:48

Please, please keep this separate. Posting in this forum and receiving non-judgemental advice from other teenage parents is amazing and for some a life -line.

BlessYourCottonSocks · 16/05/2019 19:39

Definitely need the teenagers board!

idsisatwat · 16/05/2019 19:41

Agree, please keep it separate

ThePerturbedPenguin · 16/05/2019 19:43

Stupid idea, how odd

Idontmeanto · 16/05/2019 22:24

Really needs to be separate!

Flippant74 · 17/05/2019 00:22

I think we parents of teenagers definitely need our own section. Please do not merge us.

PlinkPlink · 17/05/2019 00:27

I'm a parent to a toddler and can see the sense in keeping a separate border for toddlers. Please keep it separate @MNHQ

Boffing · 17/05/2019 03:25

There's a whole section on bonfire nights. I don't understand Mnet thinking on this.
