Passive aggressive class WhatsApp messages

[babyno5]

Why is there always one mother on the school WhatsApp group who is an arsehole?
You know the judgy one who always knows best? The one who has all the answers and who is so far up the headteachers arse she needs to be surgically removed?
Never met her husband (actually think he might be a figment if her imagination) but if he's real my god the man is a saint!!!
Hit me with your similar experiences!!

I think that’s probably me

The fact that you have a class WhatsApp group says it all!

Oh yes! I actually left our class WhatsApp group because of this. All but 2 of them now think I'm a weirdo but I just couldn't bite my tongue anymore and the ones that don't think that can pass on the info anyway!

@LoveYourHome9 ha don't judge me I was added-didn't start it 😂😂

I think class whatsapp is common. People have different levels of investment and engagement with a school.

Frankly I haven't got time or inclination and whilst I find the whole "mrs x says please being plastic bottles tomorroe" a bit cringe part of me is grateful that someone is sending me reminders.

I am just grateful there’s someone there to keep me straight to be honest!

@twirlypoo I don't mind the sharing of info it's the sneering way it's shared 😂

That is why I would never have a class whatsapp or facebook. I hate all that crap.

Our class WhatsApp is really boring, everyone is nice and no drama.

Sorry but my class whatup is a godsend especially in first year where there were questions and clarity needed with everything from non uniform/ sports/ dressup day to one parent doing a PayPal class teacher collection only had one very opinionated parent who was negative about the flu jab but was put straight, love whatsup absolute necessary and sometimes funny

Is this a thing now? I’ve got my last DC starting school nursery in September am I to expect a WhatsApp group!?

I see your class Whatsap and I raise you the Ukulele group Whatsap....I had to leave it, and leave DH on it, in theory he is meant to monitor it and filter through the crap tell me the important things I actually need to know and the occasional scrap

@KeepFuckingOff oh yes! It starts off all nice but by Y6 you'll need a large gin before reading the 40 messages a night (especially this time of year with end of term!!)

Oh god @SpongeBobJudgeyPants that's bloody hilarious 😂😂

My DCs' class WhatsApp groups are very helpful - it's impossible to stay on top of every dress up day / homework due / sports event / fecking tombola, so I love having the reminders. Parents take turns being reps, generally most of us work so don't really want to, there's no smuggery.

Always at least one massively disorganised parent asking everyone for last minute favours and one person spamming for Arbonne/Herbalife etc...

@Stuckforthefourthtime I feel I'm missing out-we have no spamming on ours. Not able to take turns for class rep as our passive aggressive mum clearly didn't make Head Girl at school and this is the next best thing to her 😂

We have a group, I’m then in a sub group where when I’ve read the main group I can then triple check I’m now posting in the sub group and go “WTF!!??”

I’ve decided that one mum can jst keep the award for best parent, she clearly wants it the most and her little darling is obviously far superior to the other 29 kids in the class

I totally rely on my class WA group to remind me what's coming up-I'd never remember anything otherwise!

We have one of those in our NCT group WhatsApp and the husband is just as bad.

@definitelyshouldknowbetter ha I think we might be in same group chat 😂😂

And there's also a subgroup that we have a commentary ongoing about the main group
😂

I think class whatsapp is common.

I don't understand how something like this comes about. Does one person go round and collect everyone's phone numbers?

DD1 is in primary and the MN expectations about the level of social life which should accompany this just seem alien to me.

@babyno5 there can’t be more than one!! she’s unbearable!

Reminder at every opportunity what an important job she has, whilst also studying to make her job even more important, whilst having time to MAKE her little darlings world book day costume then change it to another homemade one when said little darling changed their mind on what they want to be, with pictures! Did you know that Mrs....... the class teacher is a family friend too?!! Pisses me right off she does! On the whole the parents all work in our class, everyone is trying their best and winging it and is quite honest about that, she jst seems to want to show off.

The main is group would be great if it was jst kept to reminders and general convo I find that really useful, when they start though it descends into a total game of one upmanship!

we had our resident brown-noser messaging in MAY saying she wanted to catch us before we bought our "tokens of appreciation" for "Jane" (Mrs Teacher). She thought £15 each in the kitty would buy a nice gift (£450 if everyone paid!!!!!) and suggested a swarovski paperweight and pen.

@donquixotedelamancha you sort of acquire numbers through kids parties and play dates and it sort of goes from there. I would add that this is village on edge of small town
