[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I felt it was my turn to return the favor and host the larger group this year. I'm sorry none of you could make it. Suggest a date and we can make reservations at that Mexican restaurant we like."[/quote]

I would do this. But I’d say “…and one of us can make reservations…” The Small Group people sound kind of rude. They COULD at least have said, “I didn’t want to come to the big group. But we should get together. What does everyone think of going to that Mexican restaurant? Let’s pick a date!” Not dump it in you. But maybe they felt dumped because historically you’ve been doing all the organizing and suddenly there was a change, so they felt abandoned. But they were not gracious nor did they take any initiative. [/quote]

No reasonable adult who truly is a friend would feel “abandoned” by being invited to a larger party instead of a smaller one. If they all have phones and calendars, they can make the plans from here on out. If I were OP I would give it a full year, as someone else suggested, before I ever took on the role of planner for this ungrateful group ever again. Unbelievable. [/quote]
