A singles reunion
Hmmph! I got an email from my school reunion Facebook group this morning with all the details of the reunion and I’ve been steaming about this ever since.
It was clearly organised by a whole load of people who had their kids when they just left school (so the kids are now adults) and a bunch of singles without kids!! It’s been organised as a lunch on a Saturday with no kids, and spouses if they have to be there!!
And if you’re wondering about the adult kids bit… it’s the 20 year reunion 
I’m THAT old 
There’s no way I can go to it now. I spend enough time away from the kids and Lance with my photography and my day job!
Oh well, no use whining too much, I probably wouldn’t have had much to say to them anyway. And in fact, none of the people who have said yes were my close friends anyway. And I really didn’t enjoy school… I never fitted in… I was a bit of an odd-ball.
So, it’s really no great loss… but still… I was quite curious to see everyone
I didn’t even go to my ten year reunion – just no interest. I felt the same way in high school as you did, not enjoying it and such. I was curious, too, though – but that’s the great thing about Facebook. Usually those planners end up posting all of the pictures, so you get a pretty good idea anyway
I also didnt go to our 10 year one – I was still married I think so there was no chance of it happening anyway!
It is very sucky to have it in the day though but must say I would also like to go with no kids just so I could scout them all out properly!
That’s a silly way to do it. When we had our 10 year one it was a serious sit-down dinner thing. You were welcome to bring whoever you wanted to as long as you could shell out the R250 per head for them. No one brought their kids obviously, but most people did show up with their spouses.
If it was a Saturday lunch, maybe less formal, people would definitely have brought their kids along.
I have mine in November – wait for it THIRTY years! LOL! I went to a convent so mine will be old girls only. It’s in Bloem so P and I will go for the week-end! I will go the dinner on the Sat and he will spend the evening with our best friends. I don’t go every year, but this is a big one I guess!
it’s my 20 year reunion too this year. i actually went to the one last year too and it was pretty good fun. although everyone had got fat and i couldn’t remember half of the people there. arrggghhh…too many drugs post school. messes with your memory.
I didn’t go to any of my reunions. I was also a big of a outcast at school. I kept in contact with the people that I wanted to stay in touch with…
I don’t even thing anybody from my old school is organising one. It would also be our 20th! I am not sure how I would feel about going. I only keep in touch with one person from school and don’t really feel the need to see the rest.
oh my. i’d go to see what people look like now and then duck!
i doubt i’ll be going to my school’s reunion.
as far as i’m concerned, they can all kiss my ass.
i hated school. plus, there’s no one i would wanna see, except my best friend from high school and she visits all the time.
the rest of those stuck up private school bitches can go……whistle
Oh you should go. I was worried about going to mine – also hated school and never fitted in – and it turned out to be a big jol. After 20 years, people had moved on and most of them were genuinely nice people.
Since I never finished matric in highschool, I don’t get invited to the reunions… but I wouldn’t go if I was. I have one friend from school- my bestest best friend. When I look at the groups of people I went to school with I cannot imagine speaking to even one of them ever again.
