[quote=Anonymous]I am paranoid that the other moms in my child’s age cohort don’t like me, or think I’m weird. I always feel like the odd person out. When I try to set up play dates (outdoor, masked, which I know others are doing) the timing never works. I get randomly left out of things. For instance, I have been looking for a nanny share for my DS, who is 3, since the holidays when we found out our previous childcare would not be able to continue in the spring. I posted to our neighborhood list and sent an email to the moms I know, just letting people know we were looking. Well we are still looking but I know of multiple families with same-age kids who have set up shares since then. I get that sometimes there are other factors involved, but it seems weird that several families we know were working on shares, knew we were in the market, and didn’t even mention it.

I know I’m probably being overly sensitive about this. And I know Covid makes this trickier. But it really feels like maybe other moms don’t like me or think I’m weird and therefore aren’t interested in doing things with DS or our family. I’ve always felt a little awkward in life, but have also always found my place. But I feel so isolated now and am afraid my awkwardness is going to mess things up for my son (who is wonderful and easy to be around).

What do I do about this, if anything? Will it resolve on its own once DS starts school? I don’t mind being a loner but I don’t want to force that on him.[/quote]
