Mothers Groups...yay or nay?

[~*Niadalla*~]

Either online or IRL I have never really gelled with any mother's group which saddens me. I think I'm an ok person and pretty easy to get along with... but maybe I am the problem??!! hehe

My IRL mothers group was good, although rfom a more affluent area and were all a good 5 years older than me at least. They were all really nice and for a good 12-24 months we'd catch up, but I haven't seen them in nearly 2 years. I have a couple on FB who I talk to occasionally but that's it.

In saying that, I wouldn't hesitate to join a mother's group first time around. They can be invaluable. Just being able to chat to other Mums whose kids are the same age and going through similar things is a great help.

ETA: I go to a local playgroup with the kids and I have made some amazing friends there. Because we are in such a small area our kids will grow up and go through school together which is nice.
