[quote=Anonymous]Oh, brother.  Mormon beliefs are too weird, so we'd better mock and ostracize them to show how enlightened we are.  Now I'm convinced.

I am a non-mormon nanny working for a Mormon family.  I often (when it works with our schedule) take the kids to a playgroup that meets in their church.  Mormons do seem to have a lot of kids, so it doesn't really work to meet at someone's house.  Instead, we just meet at the church (or a park or something if there's a cool activity happening on that day, but mostly the church in winter) and the kids swarm all around this big gymnasium area with a stage at one end.  The moms and nannies are mostly mormons, I guess, but they don't really talk about religion.  As for the atheist PP who said she wouldn't go becaus she wants her child to have friends of all religions, not just one: why would going to a playgroup with women who are MOSTLY but not exclusively of one religion on one morning a week limit your ability to befriend parents of a variety of religions?  OP is new tothe area.  If she goes, she'll probably find out from the other moms about fun things in the area for kids, and she can meet catholic and hindu and jewish and shinto friends at those other fun activities, but you have to start somewhere! It just seems absurd to me that you would reject a chance to meet some new friends in a new town just because you've met your quote for Mormon friends.[/quote]
