Went to mother toddler group yesterday. Whilst the teachers are fantastic, really fantastic, some of the mothers are a pain. I have yet to engage in a conversation with 9/10ths of them or rather vice versa (sp). They see my son and think i cant control him, yet i run after for an hour and a half to make sure their little ones dont get hit or bumped into by him. The last straw was yesterday when he planted toys in the sandbox when they shouldnt be in the sandbox. The other mothers looked at me as if to say, control your kid. One of the teachers came over and said Lucy has enough to do, why dont you other mothers make sure no toys go in the sandbox. Well, i appreciated the teachers concern but now i think the other mothers think i am "teachers" pet.
They are haughty, pushy, try to talk over me and are generally unapproachable. I would love for my son to get invited to their homes to play with their kids, but if that is the attitude he is going to get from the moms, i dont think its a good idea.
Please, if any of u are in mother toddler groups, could you endeavour (if you arent already) to make friends with the poor ragged mommies who are running after their kids? I really want to leave this group, but its not about me, its about my son and interaction. Its like the mommies are the children instead of the kids.
