Section suggestion: Family & Friends

Looking at the list of topic areas on DS there doesn't seem to be anywhere for subjects relating to dealing with people and yet subjects keep coming up around problems with friends, family & other interpersonal relationships. Is it worth considering as a seperate section?

Mary-Jane and I could be in charge of it because we're both so good at sym/empathy.
My feeling is that that stuff sits fine in 'chat' really.

Well I think Sean is right. We are very empathetic...

It fits in but is it easy to find? Particularly if you're looking up for past advice & can't remember names/keywords- there are 194 pages of chat topics v 34 on livestock.

Put children related questions in the livestock section then.

Laughing Good plan. In that case I guess the Poultry & Livestock section needs renaming Laughing

Nuttiness aside, I'm sat in the corner with Rob. I may not be the biggest section, but it's good to have. And MJ and Sean could be banned from it.

I thought that's what you meant when you said:

Serious hat on though: there is lots of good advice on here, most recently as a result of James' query about sleeping through the night & Fee's Would you want to know? which could be useful for directing new people to DS to, but I've found it rather 'lumped together' in chat that it isn't so easy to point them in the direction of. If I could just say 'look that the friends & family section', for example, I think it would make an easier introduction on to DS (particularly if they not particularly downsizery already sort of a honey trap- snare them with some good relationship advice & before they know it they'll be growing veg & recycling teabags, and the like)

I think it's a reasonable idea.

Agree. There's been some good advice given.
