The golden rule of the parents’ group chat? No chit-chat | Natasha Sholl

Do be the parent who sends friendly reminders about important school dates. Don’t be the parent who sends an accidental voice memo to people you’ll see at pickup

Anyone who has a school-age child is aware of the minefield that is the parent group chat. If you’re a parent who is about to enter the school years, buckle up – you’re in for a ride.

On a good day, the parent WhatsApp group (or Signal, or whatever your digital medium of choice) is a place of sheer beauty. It shows the best of humanity. Crises are averted. Generosity abounds.
