My older mothers' group still meets regularly, but it has become comically difficult to find a regular day and time to meet. It's not because we all have demanding jobs--none of us is working at the moment. It's because of conflicting baby nap times, and conflicting playgroup schedules. The babies range in age from six months to almost one year, which is part of the problem--younger babies nap more frequently during the day. But among the older babies, a wide variation in nap times still exists.
Spending the last hour trying to find the perfect meeting time to accommodate all the mothers and their little ones has me feeling frazzled, and reminds me why it's both good and bad to start a group. Actually, starting a group is almost always a blast; maintaining a group is what usually gets a bit sticky.
