School WhatsApp wildness…

I’ve lost the will to read the school WhatsApp already…
they don’t go back till tomorrow and there already been 30+ messages today.
everyone whinged about no update from school, update sent, then they all whinged about the update. The slagging off (of the actually very good I think) school and staff is wild.
one of the email updates today was on parent code of conduct and it specifically said parents will be banned from school premises if agressive and inappropriate behaviour on social media! Made me lol as then they all bitched about it! It’s the same 3/4 mums.every. Time.

30 messages in and someone just asked if they go back tomorrow 😂

please tell me most parents are also reading this shite thinking ‘how do these people function in their day to day lives’?!

id remove myself but then I’ll be ‘that mum’ 😂

There is a core group of Mums that always complain about the smallest thing or a nothing that they blow up a huge thing. Their kids are usually a pita to boot.

Friends are on Reception Desks in schools and the abuse is unreal. Usually the reason they sound robotic.
Mine go to a good state school and heavily oversubscribed. Parents fall over themselves to get them in, then As soon as they get confirmation it’s like the knives come out.

Thankfully there isn't one for my daughter's school. I am friends with a handful of the parents and check things with them if I need to. There's no way I'd join a class or school one, even they existed.
