Yes yes slingmeet not to be mocked equal opportunities etc, but come on, be objective, a club to talk about one product? Like 'kettlemeet' or 'cotmeet' a bit bizarre. Particularly since frequented by (further terminology here) 'babywearers' so a little piss taking is to be expected no?
Is difficult to have conversation about anything other than DCs at baby groups, they are the common denominator and right there! Mine is so naughty and tipped two buckets of water over himself, ate the sandpit and rollerpainted his face red. I was not quick off the mark. He would not sit for circle time if his life depended on it, but would happily potter in and out of the circle without getting into mischief for the duration.
I mean what do ppl use as interesting ice breakers that do not involve DCs?
Did you used to work have a job be employed as a work out the home mother? What did you do etc (problem: may have been unemployed and have depressed about it)
How many times do you and you husband/partner have sex? (might be single mum and not happy about it)
AIBU to want designer handbags and dress DCs in charity shop finds to fund it? (think you are pretentious not just clinging on to pre baby dreams)
Do you feel bored by motherhood? (unlikely to admit to stranger etcetc)
Tricky. Met a couple of lovely ladies at my post natal exercise group, closer to my age and great with the non baby chat.
Hmmmm
