I'm bored of all my mum friends

I've got my judgy pants pulled right up high at the moment.
I'm bored of their petty squabbles, their one-upmanship and the unrelenting dullness of their Fatface clothing.
I like their children, most of the time, and I need the reassurance that all our kids are heading in the right direction when I have a wobble.

So should i drop the friendships that are really just due to having kids at the same time.

I like my mum friends. I mean, we're not all besties, but we've had a few good nights out.

I am on a WhatsApp group, but it's usually just stuff like 'don't forget the kids need to take pe kits in tomorrow'.

There's no 'queen bee'. There aren't really any cliques that I am aware of. I'm not in one if there is haha.

Nobody has ever been rude to me or snubbed me. I've never heard anyone slag anyone else off or judge someone's clothing.

You can ingratiate yourself as much or as little as you want without think your 'above' it all.

It's like competitive anti-social'ness' on here sometimes.

OP, I think @urbanlife gave you the solution many posts ago - have a digital detox and delete the SM apps from the phone and (BRACE) delete What’s App - just use iMessage or SMS instead.

And truly do do it. Not only to shake them off without causing offence but to give what sounds like your overbooked brain a rest.
