+100 It isn't a "clique" OP. These woman are obviously friends. They are allowed to be friends. They do not need to include every single mom from the bus stop or school or neighborhood. |

OP knew at best 5/15 women there, 2 sort of well and 3 were mere acquaintances. These wasn't even her neighbors. It's a bit presumptuous to get indignant that you weren't invited to a get together of women you barely know or don't know at all. |
OML OP - it is not all about you!! |
Mom cliques are just groups of friends who seem exclusionary to outsiders, usually because the outsiders feel insecure. I was once that outsider, and after being on the PTA with some of the mothers of the "clique", realized they'd known each other for a very long time, and were actually nice. I understood they weren't trying to exclude people. It's just that they didn't need more close friends than they already had. We worked well together. I've met mean people. But never mean groups. And OP, your jealousy and immaturity is coming across loud and clear. I hope time will correct that. |
Sorry. Typo. I meant I’m sure it was not the first time. I also think the folks that are saying OP is off base are #momtribe |
Nah, they’re just normal people who understand how society and relationships work |
Mom cliques are real and they drive mean girl behavior in their daughters. Little girls don’t become exclusionary by themselves. They copy.

The 15 moms are definitely commenting on this thread defending their choices |
Y'all need to recognize the gift OP has given us, even if her way of handling things and showing that something bothers her isn't your style. It's not my style either, but I have to admire the ballz to send that text. Whew! OP, please come back with updates!!! |
Keep repeating this to yourself like a mantra and maybe it will become real |
OP, your reaction is so weird. What if 15 ES moms are hanging out together without you? Why do you think you should be included? |
I don’t. It makes her look Boderline. Being confrontational about why you weren’t invited to something is always inappropriate |
Oh wow are they not allowed to hang out without you? Grow up! |
My favorite mom clique story is when one weird mom pretended we all had a mom clique because we hung out without her. |
