Whatsapp groups with lots of parents. For something where attendance isn't compulsory, and you don't really need to let people know your child won't make it.
The first "<x> can't make it tonight. So sorry!" prompts a load more, and then you get the escalating reasons game:
"<b> can't make it as she is away at a week long <sport> camp."
"<j> can't make it as she playing for her school in the regional finals."
"<z> can't make it as she has an audience with the President of the US and the King."
FUCK OFF. NO-ONE CARES ABOUT WHETHER YOUR CHILD CAN MAKE IT OR NOT.
I much preferred it when these Whatsapp groups only allowed admins to post. That way they could let us know whether training was on or not and you wouldn't get any of this other unimportant shite.
(I can't mute the group as I need to know whether the training is on this evening or not.)
