Apparently I'm too old!!

[watfordmummy]

So last night I was on FB and saw a decorate a post saying there were still places available on a cookie decorating workshop.

Well I love that crap, and sent a PM to say interested. The lady came back to me to say to reserve place I should pay. I duly did, and thought would introduce myself further.

The group was called first mummies club, but I assumed it was like Mumsnet so ALL mums welcome. Boy was I wrong.

"Normally, First Mummies' Club is aimed at Mums of primary school aged children and below.

When other Mums have approached me before who have older children, I've suggested alternative groups that may be more suitable."

Really?? I'm not welcome to do crafts as I have older children??

As you've paid me, I'd be happy to have you on this occasion.

Bloody hell, her reply was a bit "skip to the end."
I wonder if her policy will change as her dc get older and she finds out that it is the same old shit, just a different age.

To be fair, she sounds quite a nice person if a little annoying. She should have chosen her response to you better though I agree, and you shouldn't have been made to feel excluded at all. In fact it's rather boring to just hang around with people all the same as you imo!Personally

My only issue is that I was made to feel not welcome, and when people put themselves out there they need to be aware

You've outed yourself though, don't know if anyone has pointed this out? 😀 found your comment on the fb page.

I don't think you have been unreasonable op, the whole thing is a bit daft.
I can't believe she is excluding people from a craft session because she thinks they are not as overwhelmed as her.

@mollycoddle77 If you'd read page two of the thread you'd see the OP is aware and doesn't mind

Having read her response, she was just warning u the chat would be v baby related.

I read her response and i think she makes sense.

This is local to me but like OP I don't qualify (age and teenagers). I think I prefer the Hot Flush Club with additional biscuits and cake . I get why the owner thought she had a USP but in this day and age it smacks of ageism . I just wonder if I was 16 ,on my first ,could I attend ?
