...and how do i do it nicely?
namechanged for this as I think I've made enough casual comments for someone to work out who i am if they really wanted to!
I signed up for an nct refresher course when pregnant with DC2 as we were new to the area. They are all nice enough and at first it was quite nice meeting up in parks etc for the older kids to play.
But i'm starting to get a bit fed up with it really, we're all quite spread out so it's always a bit of a trek going to the meet-ups every week. Since the weather's been rubbish we've started doing meet ups at peoples houses and they all seem to have massive 4/5 bed detached houses... am dreading when it's my turn to have them back to our poky 2 bed terrace!
to be honest, since DS started nursery school I've started meeting more local mums who i get on with better. I just don't think i have much in common with the nct lot... for example the other day they were all talking about how hard it is to find a good cleaner... all I could say was I wish I had a cleaner!
So how do i let them down gently? They are all lovely, just we don't really gel. Do i just keep making excuses for not going til they give up? Or are we now committed to being friends for life?!
