Can't decide which group to go to:

[*Sparklez*]

i agree!!!

u want ur dd to be participating n with kids her own age she will def leap through milestones!! its soooo cute ive never been to playgroups or anything but alot of my friends n i have kids the same age n we just let them go n they love it.. i think the wee group wil understand its not like ur doing it for urself at the end of the day u want ur dd to be able to join in activities that arent beyond her yrs.. iykwim

Thanks ladies!!

You've just confirmed my thinking!!

I am friendly with one of the mums in the playgroup - it was she who introduced me to the playgroup so I will arrange to see her and explain our situation.

Thanks!

I def thnk the ABA group would be good for you and your DD and it seems your leanng that way, maybe say to the ladies you've found a group with kids your D's age but you would love if you can maybe still come once a month for a catch up or organise a play date once a month with them and that you would like to keep in touch.
Maybe you could print out a 'thank you' card with a pic of your DD (do it through Big W or something and use the 15c prints ) and say thank you for being a part of our life, we hope to keep n touch and have your details on there. ????

You could always alternate between the groups each week. Isn't it typical that you find 2 good groups and they end up clashing time-wise!

:yeahthat:

my kids started going to a playgroup this year we moved to a diffrent suburb, and ds1 started kindy (one session was he same time as the group!) i explained to his kindy that every 3rd week he couldnt attend that day and they were fine with it.

See, I thought about doing this but chatted with DH about it and both thought that by doing this then we wouldn't really be an integral part of either group as we'd just be the ones who came fortnightly - does that make sense?

It's soooo typical that this has happened. I struggled to meet lovely people for MONTHS and then meet them all at once!!!! GRR!

It sounds to me like you'd be more happy at the ABA one and as you pointed out... it's better for both you and DD! It is hard though isn't it! I was the same a while back and had to choose lol.

Your daughter's so little now I'd go with whichever you feel happier with. When she's older she'll appreciate having kids her age to play with, though, but you're keeping up contact with the ABA ladies, anyway, right? So you could kinda do both for now then switch to ABA later if you want.
