Sift through the responses in this thread.. there’s some links already.

DP. Hmm...I only saw one link on page and the OP denied that was her.

Based on her description, I finally found her old thread:
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/701342.page

This is the one OP said was hers.

Interesting...you just posted the exact same link that I did right above. Did you have a problem with my link?

DP. It doesn't matter who first posted the thread guys

The other interesting thing not mentioned yet is that the host was apparently rolling her eyes at OP and her child after the host got frustrated needing to always step in and correct her. So yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that OP isn't welcome at this playgroup, even if they do end up changing the times back.

And it's funny how the original thread was set up like "the host only picks on MY daughter! not the other kids! she's correcting her all the time and asking her to pick up her messes! it makes me feel bad!" rather than "my daughter is the only one who is naughty in the playgroup and we really love this playgroup, does anyone have any suggestions how to properly parent my child?"

I highly recommend you attend one of the Celebrate Calm *free* workshops. There a number of upcoming ones in the area.

Let’s just come out and say it. OP is a selfish, narcissistic parent. The kind you don’t want around. The kind whose child runs rampant and makes our kids cry.

She doesn’t seem to have figured out that the host mom and the other moms get absolutely nothing but grief from her being around, I think thy’ve Been kind, although a little passive aggressive. I would have told her outright that she and her daughter were no longer welcome in my home.

OP here. Wow, I am surprised this thread is still going!

Update: The playgroup went back to afternoons right after spring break and we were invited back. I am much better at staying on top of DD and monitoring her behavior now and things, I think, are going better.

Oh, like everyone at the beginning of this thread told you?

You have drama problems, as does your child. And I don’t normally pick on children.

Were you unable to pledge a sorority and so do this as an adult?

NP here and I was actually president of my sorority and I stopped inviting one child to our playgroup because she was huge and would shove the other kids - sometimes off their feet - and the mother would only respond by tell her kid to be nice.

Sorry, PP, no one has to invite you or your child into their home. No one owes you an explanation either. You need to grow up.

You were president of your sorority and now you’re president of the SAHM club?

And one is the factors she booted a baby from the club was because the child was “huge”.

No, I am president of my own company. But yes, as the host of a weekly playgroup, I decide who is invited and how isn't invited.

The OP wasn't booted from the playgroup and the host didn't lie or exclude her when spring break was over.

This whole thread - all eleven pages - was speculating on nothing.

Why don't you just keep your child up later and go to the morning playgroup? I'd think that an afternoon playgroup would be harder for most people and that's why it changed vs. being personal about you.

If it really doesn't work for you, why not start your own playgroup?

I had the "spirited" kid too. It's hard. Sometimes the park is just better for kids that need to run. It's getting warmer now, and the park will be much more tolerable. Kids that age don't really need to "play" with other kids. They still parallel play. It's more for the moms.

OP here. We don't have a yard (live in a condo) nor the room to host a playgroup. I do take DD to the park or an indoor playroom every day. DD is such a bad sleeper that I can't change her nap schedule without meltdowns. My DD asks to for the host DD every day.

You don't host, your DD is difficult and takes a nap mid-morning, what it IS unusual, and you are questioning the host's time choice.

It doesn't matter if you were dropped. You need to change, sunshine.
