Sorry, your application to join the "Houston mommies" group was not approved.

hey sorry, congrats on the kids.. but we only want kids under 4 so they can all play.. older kids arnt as interested in younger kids .

------------------------------------------------------

 Oh sorry, I thought it was a group for Mommies in Houston.  Maybe you should change the name of the group to Houston mommies of children 4 and under. Just a thought. At the very least you could have explained your specific guidelines in the groups description. Had I known that my "uninterested older children" would prevent me from being in the group I wouldn't have bothered. 

Congrats on the kids but we don't want you? Rude.

Jun. 17, 2007 at 8:05 PM thanks amandasrainbow. I thought my 6 year old WAS a young kid. Honestly I think my 8 year old is too.

Jun. 17, 2007 at 8:05 PM How rude! Perhaps they haven't realized that even THEIR children will grow older........just a thought!  Some people! If you ever get up in the Panhandle....holler at me!

Jun. 18, 2007 at 12:37 AM Hey girls, I have a thought.  Why don't you start a group called Mommies in Houston who have very interesting children.......Personally I find my 13 year old daughter very interesting.

Jun. 18, 2007 at 3:13 AM  I am sorry if it seem that i said that I didnt want you in my group.. but when most ppl thing young kids is kids who are not in school..  you have beautiful kids.. as is your self..  And yes i have relized that my VERY INTERESTING SON is going to GROW OLDER!!  and thank GOD for that.. but for the time being he doesnt go to school so he doesnt have kids to play with everyday.. so i started a group for young moms with young kids.. for those who have kids who dont have the chance to play with others on a normal day to day basis..  Its great that everyone has there own thoughts.. and thats what this site is for.. for moms to join groups and find others just like them.. Start your own group for moms with kids your age..  I just think your going a little to far for such a  small problem.. .. if you want to join , go right ahead and rejoin but when you or even if you come to our play dates, your 6 or even 8 year old isnt going to enjoy themself because there will be small children and babies around.. and i am sure your 6 year old still doesnt play with rattles and uses bibs....   And for the rest of you.. i think its very funny, that the subject is over age and then you get into INteresting kids!! you have never meet my son , so you wouldnt know.. and i am sure your going to post this all over the place, and make a big fuss over it..  so here you go!!  OH and by the way I changed my group just for people like you!!

It's unfortunate that you believe that my children have no interest in being around children that are younger than them. I shouldn't have to explain that my 6 year old is immature for his age and prefers the company of younger children. That he went to kindergarten last year yet he played on the playground with the preschool children, not his peers. That he is in love with babies, as are my 2 young daughters. They love to be mommies to them and play baby games with them. They find so much amazement and wonder in new life.

I should not have to explain that I may have a new addition in my home soon, that my brothers life is not as it should be and his infant son has been taken from him. We are trying to bring him into our home but are waiting for the paperwork to go through. But then again, I don't have him in my arms right now, so I am worthless to your group because he cannot play with the other babies. Shame on the thought that I would want to make friends with some of the other mothers prior to bringing him or any of my children to a playdate.Right?

I don't plan on "posting this all over". I don't care for Momma-Drama. It's a pointless waste of my time. Going too far? That's your opinion,.you're entitled to it.

Correct, everyone is titled to there own opinion, as is the age of kids i want in my group, so about the whole brother situation , you shouldnt have to explain,  its none of my buisness,  and i didnt really need to know your son plays with preschoolers,, again its school age.. my son is 9 months old.. and i want him to be able to play with other small children..who dont always have kids to play with during the day, and when my son does get older , i would join another group just for kids his age..******** i changed it so there wasnt any more problems******, i to loved to play with small babies, thats why i babysit, I love children of all ages, Gods greatest creation!! but for my playgroups its for young kids.(who arent school age.) ( the change was made)

sorry for the problems, and all the steam you had to vent.. i will make a group just for you!! for ppl who have kids that are the same age as yours.. What i wrote didnt look the way it sounded.. and it wasnt ment to sound hateful at all,  thats why i hate typeing feelings out!!

Again sorry for the bad feelings and thoughts  you have towards me.. and i hope you can forgive.

no hard feelings, I never said you were a bitch or anything. I just thought that the way things were stated sounded a bit rude. If that wasn't your intention, I'm more than happy to hear it! 

You're more than welcome to have a playgroup for babies and kids the same age as your child, there's nothing wrong with that. I was just frustrated that I thought I was trying to join a different type of group. Thanks for making the change on the description, it's totally clear now :)
