MEET UP Dilemma - dont know what to do.......

Okay - its not a major problem but.....

Am looking to meet up with some of my MN friends in the future.

Another mum friend i have (who doesnt MN) asked if she could come along next time i meet with a load of MNers. She is really lovely and we get on really well our DD's are the same age.

However, i treasure the privacy and understanding i get from MNers and i kinda dont want her to intrude on that. Which makes me feel like a total cow.

That aside she has some harsh views on some things (new mum syndrome a little basically) and i know that MN friends are not judgemental in the same way and worry about how the two would combine.

Dont know whether to tell her about it or not!!!!!!! Horrible arent i?????

Just tell her it is MNers only, I think it is a little rude to ask for an invite anyway to be honest, but maybe your friend just wants to make more mummy friends, now that she is a mummy.

I don't think you're being horribel TBH I think it sounds pretty normal to me. I think it can be quite nerve wracking meeting new people and hoping that you don't make an arse of yourself so worrying that she might show herself up will be twice as much worry Grin

Well, we originally met through a local parent website noticeboard. We know quite a few of the same mums - although i dont really meet up with them as much as she does.

Im certainly not her only friend. She is the only friend i have close to me though.

I just feel weird about it. Probably sounds daft - me being all precious about "my MN". I didnt even want to tell her my posting name.....

Tell her to get her judgemental arse on here and we'll flame her so bad she won't want anything to do with MNers Grin Wink

the first rule of MN is you do not talk about MN

what on earth did you tell her for in the first place?

i had met up with a few MNers a few weeks previously and she had said "oh what did you do last week" I told her id met up with a load of mum friends and she pressed me further for info.

Im a crap liar Sad I tried to cover my tracks but she asked what site, what posting name etc etc.

Im rubbish arent i!

She asked you your posting name?! That's illegal, isn't it?!

omgimacow, if you are who i think you are, then don't worry i've got the message.

Hattie05 · 28/02/2006 01:07

Grin only joking

I think you're perfectly within your right to say " no you can't come, bog off"
