[quote=Anonymous]Really surprised at some of these responses from grown women.  Have some confidence!   If you aren't included at a certain party, book club, etc. there is a 98% chance that it has nothing to do with anyone excluding you-- but a much more mundane reason like their kid doesn't get along with yours, they only were inviting 10 kids to the party and your kid wasn't close to theirs, they already have 8 people in the book club and 9 would be too many, etc.  Not everyone needs to be friends with everyone, and not everyone needs to be invited to every social event -- that does not make the moms "mean girls" or the mean the left out mom is not liked.  The fact is that most families are really busy and focused on their own lives, and not really paying super close attention to whether there may be a family they don't know too well that they should consider inviting to their next BBQ.  Maybe I am naive, but I wouldn't think that most women in their 30s and 40s have the time or inclination to be mean girls.[/quote]
