to stop taking the dcs to playgroup

[StickThemWithThePointyEnd]

I have been going to this playgroup since DS1 was only a couple of months old. a friend invited me along so I could meet other parents with DCs of a similar age in the area. sinxe then I have made some friends there and ds1 likes to play with their kids.
As I posted on a different thread last week, some if these so called friends have treated me like absolute crap, and I told a couple of them to have a nice life because I just had enough.
AIBU to stop going to playgroup to avoid these people even though my DS1 loves going there, and I still have a couple of people in the group who are acting somewhat more like real friends towards me?
DS1 is 2.2 and goes to nursery 3 days a week where he gets to play with plenty of other children, just not with these particular children at this particular setting.

a lot of friendships when you have small children are very very superficial and based on nothing more than the fact that you have children the same age, so you go to the same places, watch your kids do stuff together and have someone to talk to in a superficial way. reading your other thread, those other mums just sound like they see themselves as those kind of 'friends' - it suits to hang out together but there's nothing more to it. It doesn't make them bad people, just busy people with enough on their plates already. If all the kids were going to go to the same primary school, they might develop the friendships further, but if not, they're not going to make much effort. If you can accept that, then I'd keep going to the playgroup, have a chat to some of the other mums, maybe mend some bridges with the others, but have low expectations of making personal friendships that will provide emotional support for you. Instead, look to build more lasting friendships with people you have more in common with than just kids the same age - maybe through a hobby or interest, old friends, family.

How very true Merci. It took me about 3 years to realise I had absolutely nothing in common with the women I was mixing with at our local playgroups. It's really liberating to realise it and just move on and as you say, find friends from work or interests.

I personally would draw a line under these friendships and move on. The texts you received back sounded snotty, and to be honest if they're meeting up without you and excluding you then they're not worth worrying about.

I go to one playgroup where I don't particularly have anything in common with the people there. I go because the people who run it are lovely and when I am there I just immerse myself in my children. It does sound like you are having a rough time but by not going are you giving them what they want?
