DD goes to a middle school, from year 5 to 8 so four year groups.
They have a parents page on FB run and used by the parents. This is where we post to ask about homework when our kids have conveniently lost theirs, school trips, holidays etc. It's just a general point of contact and information and saves us all bothering the school office.
DD is at the end of year 6. Today I was asked by another parent if I was going to the Year 6 parents night out. I had no idea of the night out but apparently it was posted on the Year 6 Yummy Mummy group. I am not a member of that group but seemingly there are groups for each year and are secret and invite only. I have now been added to the group but there are only 47 people in it!
On top of that is the PTA social hub group and the PTA group. There are also other groups which are off shoots of these groups.
AIBU in thinking that it's fucking ridiculous? Why does everything need to be in separate groups? From what I can see stuff is repeated in the year 6 group that is in the main group. Although I've not looked too closely, I may read further back later.
Second AIBU is to just keep clear of the whole bloody thing? I post in the main group and really don't want to join yet another group for Year 7. Plus I am not a yummy mummy - more of knackered mum - so that may be why I wasn't invited two years ago.
Playground politics. Bloody hell.

AIBU?
To think no school needs this many parent groups?
