[quote=Anonymous]I live in a neighborhood of what (I assumed were) a close-knit group of Moms.

I just learned today that one of the girls is having a birthday party and my son is not invited. Our kids are all within 1-3 years of each other; my son is 6.5 (turning 7 soon), and my friend's daughter is turning 8 today. Our house has always been open and inviting, and we've had them over for wine and barbecues tons of times. DS just went outside to play and learned that most of the girls in the neighborhood (and one boy) are going to a birthday party, but he is not invited. The odd thing is, she is always over at our house! I've made them lunch, done crafts, and spent a ton of time together. I thought I was close with the Mom but I guess not.

Is this normal? Whenever we've had a birthday party for DS, we've invited the entire neighborhood, and we haven't excluded kids. It's always fun, but I guess it stings when that hospitality is not reciprocated. Am I being dramatic? Or is this typical for their age group? It's hard not to feel bummed.

Also - I have one kid and no experience in this arena, so please just be gentle with me![/quote]
