To be fair some cliquey groups can be very horrid. At one I went too a number of the women took great pleasure in talking about how 'stupid' and 'gullible' any woman was who got cheated on and how the husband must not have been getting anything good at home etc.

I joined the group at a point where my marriage had fallen apart and they knew that's why I was there.

Sometimes there's something about toddler groups that turns people weird.

That was really mean of them, but very different to the OP's expectation that women not talk about 'women's things' on his account!

Just out of interest, what would YOU like to talk about? How unreasonable your wife is for providing you with a £45k car and the means to stay at home and look after your kids? (something that loads of mums would love).

Good luck with that one at toddler group!

No that's not the case at all. People are only to quick to criticise and have others drive the point home. Flattering each other liking posts that have offer no help to me at all. .

But you were offered advice, you obviously chose not to respond to it or take it on board. Like I said before, you are seeing problems not solutions.

What exactly are you wanting people to say?

Surely it depends how they were doing it?

If it was general chit-chat that happened every week then yes he'd be unreasonable to expect them to stop, but if they were going out of their way to make him feel uncomfortable then the unfairness is on their part.

I have no issue with what was said it was in the manner and tone to which I took offence to. At the risk of sounding stereotypical they were invariably out of work mums (never had a career to leave) and not pretty on the eye (statement not judgement). All the mums I stayed in touch with were by definition physically attractive and have professions like teaching, corporate and accountancy.

Yes it does sound stereotypical.
