Why?
Why would grown women indulge in frivolous gossip.
Seriously, the PTA is a strange entity.
I don’t care …
who bakes the worst cake
who sells the most magazines
who is late with their dues
who said what
what her daughter did
who is kidding who?
Seal you lips.
Get over yourself.
Jump out of the rumour mill.
Don’t feed the beast.
Be a better person.
Take the high road.
Set an example for your kids.
Love and respect your neighbours and friends.
Shhhh
Silence is golden.
Don’t be a Gossip Baby.

So sad that we have to continue dealing with this drama into adutlhood. Ugh. So exhausting.

Well said! I agree 100%. It seems like anytime you get a group of women together for whatever the reason, though, gossip becomes an issue.

Can you come and do a speech at my school please. Maybe a public service announcement?
yonca says
Great post! I agree.
Also I love the thing you said ‘put each other down when we should be supporting and building each other up!!’
Couldn’t agree more.
Have a great Friday!

The PTA here was the very same way. I chose not to be involved.
I have to say that any organization I’ve been in has this going on to some degree though. It’s so frustrating to those of us who don’t care to be a part of the gossip mill.

Thanks for following me back, I’m a huge fan of your blog! And I agree, gossip is just plain not needed! Take the high road, indeed!

Hear hear!!! Gossiping is such hurtful and destructive behaviour yet it’s something we all seem to find so difficult not to do sometimes. The worst offenders are usually the ones with so little going on in their own lives they have to belittle others!
Great post, and thanks for following me! I’m following you now to!

ModernMom says
For the record…I’m not the victim of these crazy chatty women.
I just don’t get the need to bash each other? Put each other down when we should be supporting and building each other up!!
If you need to gossip go start a blog! lol
Krystyn says
So, I heard there was this woman with a blog…
Wait, crap, I almost spilled the beans.
Sorry you have to deal with that. It really isn’t fun.
Vicki says
Amen! You would think you would have to deal with less drama as you get older, but it seems it just gets worse and worse doesn’t it?
