How to resuscitate mothers group?

[Improve12]

Its been nearly a year since our mothers group met. For some reason the group seems to have not really taken off. We have a group conversation that no one contributes to. Few failed catch up attempts. My friends meet up with their mother's group. How do you resuscitate a mothers group? Our facilitator didn't quite bring us together. She was openly judgemental, made us do tasks, used some outdated videos instead of facilitating a discussion and told us things like we need to ask permission to change nappies and use gender neutral terminology (theybies). Did anyone have a similar experience? I have mums with bubs in my life but was hoping for some mothers group interaction. Why hasn't our group taken off? Is it too late to resuscitate? If not, how should you go about it?

I would be tempted to do a frank message to all the mums on WhatsApp or similar saying what you’ve said here. The group leader was odd, it’s a shame you’ve lost touch and you’d like to meet up and try and revive. If people are up for it great, if not just let it go but at least you’ve tried!

Are you going to do it?
If so, send a message out and say you’re thinking of reviving this group with a more relaxed attitude where everyone will be welcomed.
Ask for suggestions on what they’d like the group to provide and then hopefully you can arrange the first meeting.
