Sometimes, it can feel like school gate shenanigans can get really political, and that's why one mother was fearful she'd be left as an 'outcast' for not following a trend that the rest of the parents had at her daughter's school.
She took to Mumsnet to explain that since her daughter had started primary school there had been a WhatsApp group so the parents could keep in touch with each other. The mum started to get concerned, however, when she saw other parents sending party invitations out via the group, and there were '30 or more children in her class'.
