[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]We have a specific babysitting forum in the nanny section. We are pretty hardline about this topic. You can choose not to use the nanny forums, but if you post here, it will likely be deleted. [/quote]

But why?

Most people who are posting about babysitting issues want to hear from other parents and maybe parents of teens, not nannies.

And very few parents and certainly not parents of teens are interested in the nanny forums.

This seems like a strange issue to be hardline about.  Would you possibly consider poling your audience in the parenting forums to see what they actually want? Babysitting, and ESPECIALLY questions like OPs with the teen sitter sneaking in boys and hiding them in the garage are an issue where someone needs feedback from parents and not nannies. Wouldn't letting the posters choose where topics such as these need to be based off who they want input from make much more sense tuan deleting every thread that happens to mention the word "babysitter"?

To me that is the equivalent of moving the thread titled "My inlaws won't shut up about Donald Trump and it's driving me to drink until Christmas with the inlaws is over" to the politics board simply because it mentions Donald Trump, when the real issue/question is about relationships with the inlaws and should stay in the family relationship forum where the OP posted.

If my memory serves me correctly (and it might not) you started the separate nanny site based on suggestions and input mostly from the nannies. Why not consider input from the parents on this issue so they can get the most valuable feedback from the people whose experience and input they are seeking (other parents)?[/quote]
