    Ok ladies...today I was invited to join a mom group.... It sounds really nice... Playdates once a week, monthly bbqs and my kids get along wonderfully with the kids of the mom that invited us. And the mom is super nice and her kids seem to be very well behaved. My daughter actually dances at the same studio as her kids. The problem.... Im nervous bc of all the stuff ive read on these boards about how hateful/cliquey some of those groups are. So do I put myseldf out there or just save myself the headaches

    If you never put yourself out there, there is no chance you will ever meet someone awesome! Give it a try, the worst that could happen is you could want to slap a bitch or two, and you would stop going.

    I would too.  Especially if your kids like each other and get along.  What's the worst that could happen?

    I managed to fall into a mommy group through a baby music class. They turned out to be great! Genuinely nice, but alas, they went back to work well before I did, so now I only see them every 6 months or so....

    I have belonged to a twin group since our boys were born and it's been a great experience. I have made some truly wonderful friends and we really enjoy being part of that community. Sure you can run into some moms that are a bit challenging at times. It has been so worth it. I deeply value the connections and friends I've made through it. Go for it!

    Some groups are great. I've found one. I did need to shop around and don't like all the other mothers but the few I've become great friends with make up for the bitchy ones.

    When my daughter was about 9 months old I joined a group. The other babies were about 6 months old. After two or three get togethers I was asked not to come back because my daughter was too old for them! I never tried again.

    She will be 23 next month. Lol
    I love purple; I love cats. Imagine if cats were purple ...
