i live in a small village which has a shortage of affordable housing - we live in a former council house, but there are not very many houses at a similar price level, and the rest are very expensive. this does mean that the majority of the village are pretty well off. i don't know why it bothers me, but at toddler group EVERY one else is upper-middle class, for want of a better term,(no offence intended) and nobody from the more modest homes goes. i know there must be other mums with small children but i can only assume they have either been put off / intimidated by the group, or are working/otherwise occupied. it seems a real shame that the group is not formed by a cross-section of the community. i would really like my children to meet and befriend some other children from the village who will end up going to the primary school rather than private school as many of those i've chatted to seem to be planning. the mums at the group are very friendly and chatty, and in no way seem to be excluding anyone. aibu????
