[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have tried, but thanks for the input. They always have a million excuses but then I find out they are all hanging out and having dinner parties with one another without us. We are "nice people" so not sure what the problem is. [/quote]

OP, tell us more about their background and yours.  Are they mostly SAHMS or WOHMS, and what about you?  Are there significant economic, education, racial, religious or other differences?  NOT an excuse for them!  Just wondering what their problem may be.  Do you think your kids are reasonably well behaved?  Little Johnny isn't beating up the other kids?  Little Sally doesn't swear like a sailor?

Is your husband pleasant?  Not too flirtatious?  I have a neighbor who doesn't seem to understand why I am not more friendly.  I'm a liberal dem and her husband is a racist, loud-mouthed, very opinionated, obnoxious conservative who always tries to talk politics.  I avoid him at all costs, which means I haven't been very warm to her.  I like her and feel bad but I cannot STAND her husband.

There's another very nice couple I know whom I avoid because their son likes to beat up the girls.  Not just mine, all the girls.  And they don't discipline him.  I haven't had the guts to confront them about it, so I avoid them.

Just saying, can you give any facts about where you and they might not be gelling?
