Request to change midlife/elder forum

[Anonymous]

Jeff—I am middle aged and would like to go to a page to discuss my stuff without being overwhelmed by nursing home, dementia and elder related stuff. I understand this can be a part of middle age. But, it’s not everyone’s primary focus. I’ve lived through this and my parents are deceased. If I want to contribute to such discussion I’d like to do so on a separate page please. Hope this makes sense.

OP what you're seeing is only a recent wave of dementia and nursing home stuff. There is a lot more to that forum and contributing posts about other subjects will help right the balance that you seek. Post about what concerns you.

We have discussed this quite a bit and I still feel that there is probably not enough traffic to justify two separate forums and there is great overlap in the topics.

Why can't you just use the existing forums, and title your threads appropriately?

Beauty and Fashion: Recs for good skincare 40+

Family Relationships: Sandwich Generation-ing in your 50s

Health and Medicine: Best exercises for 50+

That kind of thing. What's the problem?

I also think this is a good solution.
