[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys, this is not rude if the kids aren’t friends and are way older. You are telling your friend about your life. My best friend has a 9 year old. My kids are 11 and 14. They will hang out when we all together out of “nothing else to do” but the kids aren’t really friends and I wouldn’t expect us to be invited to her birthday party with the 4th graders lol

Some of you are really reaching. [/quote]

For real.  People either can’t read or are the type that are offended by everything.[/quote]

Eh, it isn't really clear what ages the other kids are and the OP was not particularly clear.  OP talks about the other moms having younger kids and not "really being friends" but no idea what that really means.  It doesn't mean the kids never hang out.  I feel like if the other moms have kids the same ages (ie preschool) only the OP would really know what that means- they never hang out, they hang out when the moms hang out, what?

I think likely not a big deal to mention in passing since it sounds like it is preschool only.  But the fact that she is asking makes me think maybe their group has a different dynamic- eg they always invite the other little kids.  If they other moms have only older elem kids then the question seems super silly which is why I think people responsed thinking it was rude because it wasn't clear if the other moms have kids the exact same ages and how close they are.
