I have DC at nursery. To get on the grounds of the nursery you have to press a bell at the gate and be buzzed in.
Each parent or pair of parents has a private WhatsApp group with the nursery phone so we can send and receive messages that are just to do with our own DC. There is also a big WhatsApp group for all parents of children at the nursery with over 100 people in, that was originally created so that the nursery could contact us all at once with important updates.
Except now people use it to let the nursery staff know when they’re standing at the gate waiting to be let in. At least a dozen times a day from Monday to Friday. I’m sick to death of seeing a bunch of notifications from the WhatsApp group on my phone every damn day and thinking something important must have happened, but no it’s just a bunch of people who are waiting at the fucking gate! Do all 100+ of us need to know this? No!! I know I could mute the group but then I wouldn’t get notified about things I actually do need to know.
AIBU to send a message asking all those fucking gate people to just message the nursery directly (like I do) if they’re waiting to be let in? It’s doing my head in!
