The hard thing is that my MG was ok up until now. Normally the meetings are held at the health centre, but over summer they are being held at our homes, so the groups turning up a bit smaller. Normally with the larger groups I don't get to talk to all of the mothers and not that many parenting topics come up at once. Up until yesterday it was a good mothers group.

I think I also felt uncomfortable in this particular house. It was magazine spread perfect, complete with the "dream" nursery. I wondered how she found the time, then she admitted to putting her baby in a bouncer and leaving her in front of the TV for hours. My house on the other hand is a complete mess, we are hoarders by nature and are in the middle of renovating, also I will not leave her in front of the tv for any more than 5 minutes just so I can clean.

So I am not sure what to do. I do get on really well with one mother, she isn't a gentle parent, but she does not seem to judge. I might talk to her and see what she thinks, she gets on quite well with everyone. If I choose not to go again I need to make that decision now, otherwise I have to pay the fees for this year.

Thanks for all your support. I should probably see which BB members live out my way.
