lol There's a search feature at the top of bnb - Very useful for digging up threads that you have lost! lol

Just to give you a summary of things discussed to save you trawling through the thread:

I think the general consensus of that thread was that there are enough places for teen mums to discuss all the issues of young parenting (baby and toddler, single mum's, teen pregnancy etc) and not enough issues to warrant a forum exclusively for young mum's.

Also, we young mummies do have a tendency to gripe about being treated differently to other mum's and segregated on the basis we happen to be under 20 (so what!) ... It might seem a little hypocritical to want a place to discuss parenting solely with other teen mum's? We can post about parenting in the baby and toddler club or single parents forums And regarding returning to education etc, older mummies are trying to do that, too and we might get more info or advice from older parents who have done so already, so such questions are probably better placed in general chatter or baby and toddler club?

Also, I don't think there's enough mods to start a whole new forum just for us! lol We're not that important! (I kid! lol - You know I know you mods do a great job)
