[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stupid question:  Does this mom’s group get together without their kids?  [/quote]

Yes it sounds like they mostly got together without kids -- dinners out, spa trips, weekends away, etc. These are all wealthy women with nannies so it's not like they were SAHMs forming the group so they had people to talk to at the playground with their kids 5 days a week. It was just a friend group, but everyone in it was a mom with young kids so they had that in common.[/quote]

Is this common?  Do the people here saying they had a similar dynamic also have “mom groups” that the kids aren’t involved in?  It seems so unusual to me.  [/quote]

Do you have any friends at all? What is so unusual about “moms” hanging out? They are people with children who happen to get together.[/quote]

I have friend they do not move in groups, they are lot a herd.

when I go out with the "mom's from the soccer team" i'm still just with 1-2 friends within the group.

the group dynamic is not the norm. it's odd. [/quote]

Not PP but I have various groups of women I'm friends with. Some are from high school (I grew up on the west coast so I don't live where I went to high school), some are from college, some from grad school, some from various jobs, some from my neighborhood, some are moms of my kids' friends. We don't have defined boundaries for those groups (except for the college one, we have a core group who has consistently gotten together over the last 25 years), but we do hang out in groups of more than 1 or 2 people. And sometimes the groups change when people move or their live is different or they just move on. It's never been tpxic, but I do understand groups of moms who text and hang out and I don't think that's weird? But then again, I find this group to be weird in their behavior so clearly everyone just has different experiences. [/quote]
