[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its extremely painful when you feel like your child is being excluded. She could probably deal with it better.
I'm an involved volunteer at school and a mom asked if my son was going to other involved volunteers kids Halloween party. Nope, he wasn't invited. Then yet another "friend" invited 10 boys to do a fun activity, not including mine. Saw that one on Facebook. But while volunteering the women are Uber welcoming to me.
Now the obvious answer here is not to take it personally, it's just that my kid isn't friends with their kids. But it hurts. I find myself being less friendly to these women because my son is lonely and wants friends and their sons totally ignore him. It's not fair I know but it's a mother's nature.[/quote]

Some moms get way too invested in their children's social lives. I don't. My kids have friends, they can ask me if they want to invite friends over, they tell me who they want at their birthday parties, they are close in age and spend a lot of time with each other, and DH and I have our own friends. I've also become friendly with some moms at the kids' schools but our kids aren't necessarily friends and that's okay, too. The easy solution here is to separate your social life and feelings from your child's social life. It's not about you.[/quote]
