I honestly don't know if there's a rule about the age of the kids but I have noticed that people tend to drift away from the group once their kids start school. You'd have to talk to the membership VP of your local chapter to find out for sure. Michelle Tracy - Not sure if you were talking to Kate or talking about MOMS Club.

Kicked out because you left? Crazy! The Holmen MOMS Club chapter is a great group of folks. We all get along really haven't had any problems that I'm aware of. Unfortunately, we are part of the larger MOMS Club which does have some stupid rules that we have to follow, borders being one of them. Which leaves people that live close but not close enough out. :( Michelle Wow… Kicked out because you left? Crazy!

Unfortunately I think it's pretty common though....I actually got kicked out of a group because I left the meetup location after waiting for like 20 minutes. Turns out some of the stay home mothers were late to meet me for coffee. I thought they bailed and had to get back to work. Apparently I was not respectful and they didn't want me...lol....like I would have stayed???? Crazy mama's. That is insane.

These people take themselves way too seriously, but when i got to the ban on puking kids, that was the best. Just like Right Said Fred did their song, "I'm too sexy," you are WAY too hip for the hip mamas!

Seriousl;y, though, they're being very restrictive, and while that is their right, they're also preventing / intimidating those that are 'unlike' them from joining.
