Because whether/what/how much to give is still under discussion, so unless I want to be the coordinator (which I don’t) just a one-time text isn’t enough.


HUH? When you text a bunch of people as a group and one responds, all those in the text see the response. A conversation can happen in text just as easily as in WhatsApp.

If you don't like text put them in the WhatsApp. If you are too uncomfortable adding them, don't. Or make a new WhatsApp called END OF YEAR GIFT FOR TEACHERS. Or... Don't have a class gift. Do your own. This is a mountain out of a molehill situation.

So just add the ppl you want added…. This feels like a lotta drama over nothing.


Thanks.

I guess that was my question. Whether that’s okay. To just add someone at this point. Especially someone whose number I have had since Purim but I just didn’t think of it.

Whether a new group is unnecessary drama, or the kind thing to do.

K, I guess I’m not familiar with group texts and I’d rather stay with WhatsApp.

Thanks. I know these are all fine options but I’m trying to do what is easiest for me without being unkind.


I understand and appreciate your thoughtfulness. But it just seems to me that the effort you put into posting about it here you could have already made the new WhatsApp group for the end of year gift many times over already. Really not trying to be snarky. Just saying.

I know. Making WhatsApp groups is easy and doesn’t take long. But then I think about the non-technical side— the things I need to explain in order to do that (what do I say to the existing group?) and then it’s not easy anymore…

Yes, I know I have a tendency towards overthinking, but when I’m the thick of it I often can’t tell what to do.

Why say anything to the existing group? This is getting so complicated that I’d be inclined to just not do a group and not get a joint present.. too much headache for zero reason
I never knew there was so much drama over creating a class WhatsApp!

Why say anything to the existing group—because the conversation already stated there. So I feel like I need to explain making a basically duplicate group?

Believe me, skipping the attempt to give a class gift would be really complicated for me too…

And I wish I could get someone to manage my social media life!

Just add them! They want to be included, I’m sure. Also call the other mothers who don’t have WhatsApp.
In 2 months change the name to the new grade and adjust for new kids.
