[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the only problem here is that they posted on social media and OP saw it. If OP hadn't seen it or if they hadn't posted, then there wouldn't be an issue. The way around getting so easily offended is to get yourself off social media. This sort of thing will continue to happen and you need to start getting over it. I was definitely upset when I discovered my daughter's preschool bestie's family was good friends with two other preschool families and they got together all the time and never invited us, but then I realized that it's not about me, and my daughter didn't know or care. I got over it. I have my own friends.[/quote]

The problem is that they posted in on social media. Not that OP is on social media.[/quote]

OP can't police what other people post on social media, but she can look away.[/quote]

100% this. I don’t know what complaining about “rude” fellow mothers is accomplishing other than giving OP (and at least one defender) a feeling of superiority. It’s been said here and elsewhere but you need to get off social media if it bums you out. The whole point of it is to share photos and daily banalities, not all of which you’ll be included in. Even if the moms were rude to post these photos—and I think they were not—all of this is avoided if OP just gets off social media. [/quote]

The whole point of social media is bad then. Its not as harmless as the defenders are pretending, it’s a fact that its toxic. You just don’t like hearing it. So maybe you should avoid this conversation?[/quote]

What is the point of it if you can’t share your activities? Yes, most social media posts are dumb at this point. I agree that OP wouldn’t have cared if her daughter was included in the playdate but other girls in the class were left out.[/quote]
