[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]

Because it’s weird.  It’s normal to have a group of women who all hang out together, but there is no need for them to all be moms.  And it’s totally normal for a group of women to all be moms.  Like if they have a toddler playgroup or a bunch of moms with older kids who go to school together or do an activity together get to know each other and hang out.

It’s weird for a bunch of ladies to all get together in a “mom-group” and then not bring their kids.  What is this?

I mean, I’ve been in plenty of book clubs where no one reads the book and eventually we give up the premise that there is actually a book we are going to read.  But I have never been in a “mom group” that didn’t somehow involve the kids.
