Mothers Groups...yay or nay?

[Lenny]

I consider myself lucky to be part of a good mother's group. We are all very different, but we are happy to chat and be friends and let our children all play together. We don't do much together outside a regular tuesday morning meet-up, but aside from me, they are all local girls who were born and raised in the local area, so they all have family and friends as well.

I had VERY negative ideas about mother's groups until i met mine. I don't know why i 'gave it a chance' but sheesh, i'm glad i did. They have helped me out so much and are really genuine nice people. It was worth the first few weeks of awkwardness to get three years of friendship.

ETA - Mylitta, you shouldn't feel guilty. Second children have different lives to first. And no-one remembers their first birthday party. My second child loves mother's group as much as the first. Big kids are amazing to him and he loves to toddle around after them and share trains and cars with them all. He isn't missing out. His story is just different to his brother's.
