Meetings

I have attended many meetings in my lifetime. Some were for work, some for my children and some for interests and hobbies.

Last night I attended one of the worst ones yet. It was for a support group for parents. I have been to the meetings before and found them dry, not well planned and an opportunity for a select few to sit and 'gab' with each other and not even acknowledge any one else in the room, this included the moderator as well.

What is wrong with people today??? Have we really gone back to high school where the 'cool clique' hangs out together and everyone else is ignored, stared at or shunned??

Grow up people. We are not teenagers any more and the point of this particular meeting was for our children. And trust me I am not angry about not being included in the so called 'cool group'.

It saddens me that our society has come to this. People need to slow down and prioritize what they really value in life.

It disgusts me, because I was a former moderator of other groups that there are people out there in charge and they couldn't care less to welcome anyone!

I've decided that it isn't worth my time to go anymore. The evening would be better spent at home with my own family. That is where my priorities lie!
