to think that Playgroups are a form of punishment for misbehaviour in a previous life?

Right, just back from another 2 hrs of purgatory (hrs that I shall never get back). Ok- playgroups are about children and my 2 love it but does it have to be so difficult for the adults? It's the politics, the sniping, the inane conversation, the one-up-man-ship and the crappy behaviour that I find particularly hard to stomach. I just want to lecture everyone about their attitudes' every time I go as the atmosphere really brings out the worst in me. It's like being back at school.

If it shut tomorrow I would breathe a sigh of relief.

AIBU or do other people feel like they are being tormented when they set foot inside the Church Hall? I am a bit grumpy today- I admit but really, the place drives me nuts!

Toddler groups are bollocks.

I might give them a miss with no.2 and just take long solitary walks in the park with buba in pram...and then go back to work a bit sooner!

Anything but the endless round of dullard chit chat with people I have nowt in common with over weak Nescafe and shite biscuits (and you can't even eat more than 2 of the shite biccies in case people think you're a fat greedy bloater...God, if I was with my real mates we would polish off the whole packet and let the kids wreck the house and give each other the odd biff in the head without all the 'Now, now little Alfie!' perfect parenting bullshit... !).

Phew.

i really do hate them.

YABU because as you have said it is for the children to enjoy. I just don't talk to the same group for longer than 10mins and flit about being sociable with most people. That way you avoid the politics and cliques
