I attend a local playgroup, where I'm the only regular dad that goes (other dad's have come and gone within a month). I've been going every week for 2 and a half years since my daughter was 6 months old, in that time only a few of the mothers and carers attempt to chat with me, is it because I'm a dad? (When I tell people that I'm the only dad at our playgroup they seem to think the other mothers would flock round me) I've seen other newcomers (female may I add!) Being welcomed with open arms but my main gripe is that in the past 2 and a half years my daughter has had 3 birthday's (work it out, we started going when she was 6 months and now she's 3) and not once has her birthday been celebrated. This year I tried to remind the women who run the playgroup by telling them 2 weeks before the summer holidays that it was her birthday at the end of August and that we were going away for the whole 6 weeks so if she could have happy birthday sung to her the following week and they both said 'it's ok we've sorted it' the following week came and went, the 6 weeks holiday came and went now 6 weeks later still no sign of that little cake with the candle for my daughter, oh but there have been for other children. To say I'm angry is putting it politely. I only attend because my daughter loves it there. I need some advice what do think I should do?
