[quote=Anonymous]What would you do?  we have been friends with two families for over ten years.  Our kids (now teenagers) have been close, although a little less so in the last couple of years because they don't go to the schools. We all go away together every year, kids and all, and see each other regularly as families (about once a month) and also separately in different combinations. It's my DC's birthday this coming weekend, and other kids have been coming to DCs birthday party since they were all 4 years old. DC invited the other two families' kids this year, as usual, but they said they can't come because they all  are going away together for a weekend. My DC is very upset that they chose this weekend to go away (they know it's his birthday), and didn't give him heads up (he could have had his party at another time).  Of course I am also upset and am feeling excluded (that we were not included in the going away plans), and feel sad for my kid.  What would you do? Of course it's their prerogative to socialize without us (and I know that they do) but somehow it feels particularly stinging --and I find it thoughtless-that they would plan this outing on this particular weekend.  I don't want to be petty or make a big deal out of it because I care about these people a great deal, but I really would like to let them know that my feelings are hurt, and so are my kid's. Should I say something? Or just let it go and pretend as if nothing happened?[/quote]
