Playgroups and Mom socializing

SO I joined a couple playgroups to meet some moms around here and to get Kenneth a friend or two... basically this was a bad idea. I'm pretty poor at following anyone's directions and the leaders/organizers of the group seem to all be some pretty odd ball women. Fast forward to me deciding, screw it, I'll start my own... can't exactly get booted out of my own group because "gasp" my bruiser son crawls on top of other babies. Did you know that children will touch other children at playgroups? Apparently that notion was missed by some of these moms. I think they wanted their kids to sit around and stare at eachother or something. Actually, I still have not figured out what it was they were expecting. If I do, I'll pass that along.

So here's my own group... and all these poor women who've joined have to follow MY directions, planning and activities. I didn't realize what a big bite I took, I'm chewing it but it's time consuming and trying to get 40 women to do anything is like trying to herd cattle. So that's my latest adventure. I'm sure there will be pPLENTY of debacles to write about. My reccomendation: Don't try this at home, finda group who's organizer isn't completely mad and reap the benefits of their hard work!
