Mommy Play Groups
I am so baffled right now it’s not even funny. I wanted to find a play group for W.C. and Giggles but mostly W.C. I don’t understand what goes through some of these women’s heads. I met some women from a play group back in Oklahoma and they were rude. I know I am not always the nicest person to get along with and at times it’s hard for me to open up. So, I thought maybe it was me. Then I talked to another friend that was there and she got the same impression. Well our other friends kept telling us to join, that they do things all the time and its different people at each event. What the hell I could give it a try again right. I went to their website and they wanted me to pay to join. I mean “What the hell?” Why am I paying to join a bunch of women go to the park or to some other place that requires me to pay again. They said it goes to pay for the website. Now, here’s my issue my website it’s that much and this group had over a hundred people in it and when I did the math it was a crap load of money. Oh and then they had adds on the site, which we all know generates money. So, my answer was not No, but Hell No. These women were rude and it wasn’t just my imagination. It was like being in High School where if you’re in, you’re in and you know the rest. Anyway, we are finally starting to get settled in and comfortable with things and there are no kids in our area. Then again there really isn’t much around us. The whole no more building houses due to the marked. So, today I started looking on the net for play groups. I did find a few. Once again they all want money to join. There was one group that no joke said that the kids had to be a certain age to come. They also only had slots for 20 members and if I wanted to join I had to send a request and be put on a waiting list. What? Are they kidding? This is a playgroup people not a sorority. Maybe my understanding of a play group is wrong. I thought play groups were a place where it’s normally free to go and take the kids and let them play. Talking to other mom’s is a bonus because it’s normally at a park and the kids still have to be watched. I mean you find a group of women that have kids and need somewhere to go that’s not a lot of money (free is always better) and then the kids play. I don’t get it. The country is broke; people are broke and cutting back on all the extra’s so, I would think that a play group would be a great thing. I guess not. I looked at a few others and all wanted money. Then they all had their own rules like you can join but you have to come to this and that and you have to pay by this day. I wanted to send them all little comments back like “I wanted to join, but my kid isn’t old enough for your group. God forbid my 11 month old play with your 2 year old. There’s no telling what he might teach him. You know he just talks all the time about sex and I know how much you wouldn’t like that. I mean hell he might even build your son a vibrator with the Lego’s.” Oh well, we got W.C. a pass to an indoor play place and he is just going to have to do it the old fashion way. They even have a small area where Giggles can crawl around on the floor with the other 11 month olds and talk about whose mom’s boobs have the best milk. Can you imagine the chaos?
