To have left a wattsapp

[Hellokitty82]

So my dd is 5 and I've been in this wattsapp group since antenatal. 6 Mums

However recently it's just become a bitching boasting board from my son can write his name and surname to we're buying a holiday house worth £xxxxx to we're not happy with the schools round here we're going private (intimating we're basically sending our kids to a dogs boarding kennel!) same 2 Mums boasting and also bitching about things aimed at others.

Some of the group haven't respected social distancing and kept to the rules either and moreover "sub groups" have developed and are very clicky

I just feel I can't be bothered with it but my partner thinks I should tolerate them for dd! My view is she's 5 she'll make other and has other friends. It's sad as they're her baby friends but the politics on there are driving me insane!

If it doesn’t add anything positive to your life then bin it off. I’m sure they’re just chatting about their lives, children, interests, plans. If you find it annoying I’m sure they’d rather you weren’t sitting in judgement.

Just mute the group and don’t participate.
‘Ghost’ the group of you like!
I’m always against ‘leaving’ with an announcement (WhatsApp announce you’ve left in your behalf) Better to just go quite and ignore.

Quiet

They're not really her 'baby friends' though are they? They're kids she's kind of been forced to interact with through you being friends with their mums.

Just leave it because to be honest, they're entitled to be proud of a child writing their name, they're entitled to be excited about a holiday house and to choose whatever sort of education they want for their kids.

If the chat is pissing you off then the group and probably the mums are no longer for you.

It sounds ghastly. Let your partner join the group instead of you if he thinks that it is so important to your child's development.
