Do other people think this or is she just oddly snobbish?

Took the dc into town today to go softplay and then to a cafe for lunch.
We bumped into another mum from playgroup at the cafe and we were chatting away and when I mentioned we'd been at softplay she said she was surprised as it's 'common' (not her exact words but that was the gist)

I thought it was quite funny, mainly because she apparently didn't think I was common , but now I'm wondering wether this is a popular opinion that I've managed to miss up until now or wether playgroup mum is just a bit odd?

I think she's just a bit odd.

Most parents have suffered through a day at softplay. Even the royals go to softplay from time to time (George and Charlotte, not the Queen and Prince Phil)

She sounds really strange. 😂

I think she's just a bit peculiar. Nowt queer as folk...

I think it depends on the soft play. One place where I lived had a very grubby one. Definitely no naice families there. The town where I live now has a very tiny hipsters who had babies type place with artisanal baked goods and barista coffee. Breton tops are a part of the dress code from what I can tell (not judging, I am also guilt of lazy Breton top mummy fashion)

Oh my gosh yes they do!! I just discovered this the other day when I mentioned going to soft play to my husband and he called it 'chavvy'!!
It's weird because I'm from a very middle class background and not once have I ever heard anyone call soft play common or chavvy. I was outraged and said to him he was being up his own arse...
But then I mentioned what hed said in passing to my friend and she agreed with him!!

Of course it’s common.
But we all go/went 😁

This is news to me! Also from a "middle class" background and never realised this was a thing.

My friends - also middle class if you want to call it that - all go with their kids.

I'm not sure where it clings on the slippery pole of Class, but it's bloody awful at any level.

Well mine are 24 and 20 now and it was all new when DS was a toddler. I thought it was bloody marvellous. They were safe and happy and I got at least half an hour of peace until one of them needed a wee or cried.

I thought it was utter bliss.

I can’t imagine my mum having ever taken dsis and me to one and she had an endless list of things that weren’t ‘smart’ and therefore were off limits. I don’t remember what she did do with us on rainy days but I think I would be sobbing in a corner if I had to face one with ds if I couldn’t go to one!
