Yeah, we know.  It’s like rubbernecking a wreck on the highway, op.

There’s one mom chronically being left out of neighborhood events—even a car parade in her neighborhood.  People are so petty that they won’t extend a silly invite to a car parade.[/quote]

LOL. I think I’m that mom and I have zero desire to be included. It all looks so exhausting to me.[/quote]

Ha!  I think that I have been the left out mom.  I did want to be included, and it took me a long time (years) to realize that we were back in middle school, and people were purposefully not including me.  I just took all of the excuses at face value and kept reaching out, hosting play dates (where I would watch all of the kids and the parents would leave...sometimes together), and trying to let people know that our family wanted to be part of the group.  
Once I realized that it wasn’t anything I was doing, and they just didn’t want me in their group, I stopped trying and found different friends.

It was kind of like that episode of “Sex in the City” where someone tells Miranda “He’s just not that into you.”  [/quote]
