To be slightly obsessive about how much I dislike this woman at my post natal group.

When my lot of mothers moved into the group, we all got on great with the older babies and mummy's. They were a wonderful source of information and we all chatted together. Then about 6 weeks ago the new group moved in with us. Their babies were about 3 months old and even though we welcomed them and tried to talk to them, they all seem to congregate around this one horrible woman.

I despise her.

On that first day her ds was screaming and she was shoving her bongela soaked finger in it's mouth and instructing the other mum's to do so. She talks really loudly about how bf is a chore and woman should give it up early as it holds them back. The other day she was spooning baby rice into her ds's screaming mouth saying he loved it but it was being sprayed everywhere. The other mum's all look to her because she seems so confident but I wanted to grab the baby rice, hold her down and shovel it down her throat.

OMG I know I'm being petty, but she's now started to show up at the other group I go to and at the baby cinema where she talks really loudly and she doesn't even try to soothe her crying baby.

This feels better to have a moan.

Yes lovely cake
She has never spoken to me again, you know

Actually that is a lie

I think she was so sleep deprived that all mention of the S+M dungeon simply passed her by, btw

S AND M dungeon? You are definitely my SIL Pruni.

She sounds like a nightmare and a good reason to avoid mother and baby groups like the plague! I've never really understood the rationale behind getting a load of mums and young babies together. The babies may well be the only thing you have in common, and they won't exactly know what's going on or remember it will they?! Get out to a park/museum/art gallery - you may not meet people with babies exactly the age of yours, but at least you might meet people who won't drive you insane.

I think my post-natal groups are the only thing that stopped me going insane in the first months after having my dd. I'm really lucky to have met some amazing woman and their support and advice has been priceless. None of my friends have babies yet so it was such a relief to talk to people who didn't get bored of baby chat after the first few minutes.

5 guess everyone is different, but I'm not going to miss out on my groups because of some silly arse woman.

I regularly go to the museum and art galleries but I've never met anyone there. Though I do often get dirty looks for my dd's high pitch happy squeaks
