[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d have no idea who was invited to the park and cld totally be the awkward mom sending pics, or could see being like oh hey lovely to run into you the kids had a blast and being clueless that you felt excluded.

We have a community pool, and often we’ll text one or two of our neighbors with kids the same age as ours and run into a whole bunch of kids at the pool, not just the fam we walked over with.

I’d feel left out if we/my kid weren’t invited to a bday party or year end huge picnic, but wldnt worry about this personally.

This.  There are 6-7 families we regularly see at the pool.  Sometimes I'll plan to meet one family there, and one or two other families show up and come sit under our umbrella too.  I would be horrified if they felt like "oh, she only invited Susie's family, we shouldn't intrude". It's our pool club!  Any member can show up anytime!  same with a public park.  Maybe they just clicked the wrong group text thread when they said , lets go have a picnic at the park.  I have so many group text threads for the pool (to use the same example)- some with all families I'm friends with who have 1st grade girls, some with all families I'm friends with that have 4th grade girls, one that has families i'm friends with who have 2 kids same age as my girls, one of 3 families that were on the same rec soccer team this fall and these 3 families all happen to belong to our pool club too, so I might accidentally respond to that group chat to be like hey guys lets go to the pool!  Because it's at the top of my text thread list. And it isn't meant to exclude any other friends who also go to the pool. [/quote]
