No one uses "lol" anymore, Grandma, much less "lololol".

Oh shut up. I'm a millennial and we absolutely do still use it ironically.

No, we really don't, PP.

You are all seriously a bunch of harpies. OP is upset and you’re hammering her for sport. In real life, problem simplify aren’t this mean. If they are, I have been lucky enough not to encounter them.

Op, have you posted before that you’re worried your child may have special needs? Behavior is a developmental skill like walking or talking but much more complicated. For children with special needs it’s very hard to work on and it may take years. You don’t need women who make you feel even more nervous about your child and your parenting. So let go of this. Clearly, some people are precious. They are the ones that tend to have these kind of formal play groups. So you need to find a new tribe.

I think you should have your child evaluated. You sound concerned and there are free play groups through the county if she qualifies that would be so much more appropriate than a bunch of uptight judgmental bitches passive aggressively - and yes, posters, changing the time of a play group to get risk of a member is the epitome of passive aggression - monitoring their group. It’s going to fall apart this summer anyway when the kids start camps and preschools. So just put that out of your mind.

Parenting is a journey and it’s a very different experience for all of us. Some make cliques and it makes them feel better. They did this their whole lives. If that’s not your scene, that’s fine.

I am one and yes we do! It's possible PP just takes everything too seriously and/or doesn't have friends

Come on, no one even knows that the host mother is even doing this! Maybe she just changed playgroup for the three weeks her kid is not in classes due to spring break and had no clue that OP's 2.5 yr old still napped at 11AM.

I think you are uptight and judgemental, PP.

Your post is stunningly judgemental, PP.

Not to mention that OP has never once reciprocated and had the host child to her house after months of attending a playgroup at the host mother's house.

Hi, op. I live in California in a major metropolitan city. I go to a playgroup very similar to this. The mom is a type-a, controlling, ocd type person. She works and employs a nanny who hosts the playgroup. She is just very controlling, and I’ve overheard she’s already in therapy. She has one child, and I think they will have to stop there. She’s just too OCD to deal with more. Anyway, I feel like you’ve gotten caught up in a group like this. Where everything needs to appear perfect. The moms are way too proud themselves for signing their kid up for every class they can find—art, gym, ballet, music. They really just need to get over themselves. I wouldn’t sweat the group. It will likely be fizzling out soon. Ours is. People are moving, and kids are already starting preschool. Good luck!

I love that you have nothing good to say but are apparently still taking your child to this playgroup! Too funny...

So what. All of the posters saying it’s due to OP’s personality and her child are assholes. I’m judgemtal? Do you even hear yourselves? You are taking pleasure I. This woman’s pain, telling her it’s because she can’t control her child, who is clearly not capable of behaving at this point. It’s a cant versus won’t for most young kids. Your stellar parenting has little to do with it.

And op has posted before about how these parents make her feel and how they run their group. It’s clearly a very uptight situation with monitored sensory bins. I mean, ffs. Get over yourselves. At no point did I say op is owed anything from the host mother. I think she should run screaming from the hills from his bunch of nuts.

You seem unhinged. I agree that some posters have blamed OP's parenting or her kid without basis. But the reality of the situation is that the host mom is hosting this free playgroup at her house, and whatever her reason, she's not obligated to have it at a time that she doesn't want to. OP is not entitled to a playgroup hosted by someone else, where someone else does all the work of hosting, at the time of her choosing, even if it was "perfect" for her child.
