It's awful and you're awful and everyone's awful!The moms group I joined was mostly to socialize my kid and give me something to do. I'm not the sitting home type and I don't want that for my children. I want them to be social and to like others. It's not like I joined a group of people who all wanted to parent the same way. I joined a group of people who went to the park together or had group play dates at their homes or went for stroller walks together. It gave me people to socialize with that were in similar circumstances. I'm not sure how that's awful.
I did this too but that group never amounted to much. I joined a moms night out group that was tons of fun though and helped battle my mom loneliness depression. Luckily I also made some really good friends through church that supplied the play groups and friends for kids.
