My sons school is very small and has a whole school WhatsApp group. It used to be very active, then suddenly lots of the more active people left. I didn’t really notice at the time, but did find it strange that all of the occasional meet ups had stopped. .
Talking to one of the parents who had left, she said one of the parents in the school had said something that upset her so she left. I asked why the other parents had left too. But she didn’t know.
I bumped into one of the other parents and she said her phone was broken, again I didn’t think much of it. Until today. One of them has defriended me from FB which made me realise you have to actively leave a WhatsApp group. A phone has no idea you’re phone is broken.
I tried to text the second parent but her phone is not in use - or she’s blocked me. As far as im aware I didn’t say this offensive thing. But did I? I’m wondering now if it was me. I’m so mild and shy I don’t think it was me.
However I’m not really into drama and only chat to them at school occasions.
But I’m worried now I think that’s the third or fourth parent in a few years I might have cluelessly pissed off with something I can’t work out. I get on with my other kids school parents. The offensive thing was basically calling this mums views moronic, which isn’t something I would ever say. Or did I say something else and that mum is twisting it into a bigger drama? They are both genuinely nice people but maybe one of them is too feisty and defensive 🤣
I don’t think I can do this school gate chat anymore. Why is all such a drama? Even if it wasn’t me it’s got me uneasy so I’m sure it’s not worth the stress of trying to get you know your kids friends parents.
