to think that if you run a project with someone that they will actually share important information!!!!!!!!!!1

[ByThePowerOfBaileys]

sorry just having a rant.

we have the option of applying for some funding for our playgroup, I found out yesterday and when I emailed the lady I run it with she said - she has known about it for ages but thought she would get Christmas and New Year out of the way before talking to me about it. The closing date for applications is mid Jan.

I know I am probably being unreasonable it has just made me feel like she just wants to run the group herself - and to be honest if she is going to be like that - perhaps I will step back and let her.

Certainly does sound that way.

The paperwork some of these applications want sometines can take a while to collate so surely it should be looked at and discussed at the earliest time not a week or 2 before the closing date.

I'd be annoyed too, and pull her up on it.

Sounds like my work. I just resigned. Bet you can guess why!

Is this the first time she has done something like this? She might be very busy in the run-up to Christmas, can't face the thought of doing the paperwork now but didn't want to just dump it on you.

I agree it should be done earlier rather than later, but maybe she doesn't appreciate what is involved.

If you feel strongly about getting the paperwork done now, then tell her you are going to start on it now, and she can help in the new year. If you are equal leaders then you have every right to take charge of the situation if she needs a break for a few days.

I must admit I quit our Mothers of Twins Group after everything I did was 'wrong' in some way. I was Newsletter Editor, Vice President, and Charity Project Co-ordinator because no one else wanted to give up their time to do these things. Of course they always had the time to complain about how I did them.

thanks ladies - have been out and about - can I ask madamDeathstar - how did you extracate your self from the groups?

I do wonder if that would be the right thing for me to do. - not immediately but perhaps by the end of next term

The twins club renewed memberships and elected people in April. I just did not renew my membership, did not put my name forward for anything and stopped going to the meetings and social events.

I did make sure I had good records of everything I had done so the people taking over from me had all the information they needed.

It is annoying when you volunteer your time for something and all you get are complaints. From the way they behaved some of the members seemed to think I was paid to do the stuff I did.
