There’s always one - parent WhatsApp group

I’m a long-term parent as I have older kids but this is my first time on a parent WhatsApp group (for my youngest).

In general it is fine but now the preschool has corona and one member of the group is being ridiculously unreasonable. Basically it seems she’s unhappy with the nursery but comes across to me as being so entitled and ungrateful. She seems to be very unhappy that her DC may have now been exposed at nursery - which is utterly ridiculous given it is absolutely rife in our area and really beyond anyone’s control.

I know I just need to ignore the negativity but, I’m really having to bite my tongue. I’ve tried a few diplomatic replies but she’s not getting it.

I’m tempted to report the comments back to the preschool but would that just be causing more trouble?

Just completely ignore her. Everyone will realise she’s being a dick but won’t appreciate a confrontation in the group.

Don’t involve the nursery as there’s nothing they can do or say.

Nursery cannot give out info on who has the virus, GDPR prevents it. Parent should be taking precautions if she has elderly parents who are vulnerable. Kids pick up all sorts at nursery... Attention seeking behaviour should always be ignored!
