I'd like to preface this by stating that yes, I am luteal, so likely highly irritable.
Son's year WhatsApp group (for parents). My. GOD.
The drivel!!!
For context, my son is in school nursery, so has only been in this class 6 months. I do not know these parents from Adam, don't know their names, don't know their children. I work full time so very rarely get a chance to do the school run (fortunately/unfortunately), so have never spoken to these people.
These parents (60 members the group has, as it's the whole year one and not class!) think it's appropriate to share mundane stories about their kids and what they shoved up their nose, broke a glass, reset their iPhone (AGAIN?!). They even have taken to posting about political things and petitions for the local area - albeit things NOT linked to school.
I cannot take it. Yes, I know I could leave. But honestly I've found my daughter's one (year 3) very helpful. No one posts irrelevant shite in that, it is information pertinent to school, the class, and the children, and has been a nice way to have links to other parents, without all the unnecessary nonsense.
The self restraint it is taking to not to message 'NO ONE GIVES A SHIT', or on a good day 'can we keep this relevant to school please'. I know I'll look the twat. I have the chat muted but obviously don't want to miss messages that are actually important so have to read through this crock of shite daily.
It's like Motherland, but sadly it is reality.
Anyway, just had to rant!
