[quote=Anonymous]Some of the recent PPs really nail this awkward dynamic I’ve been on both sides of. I’ve been the “core” friend extending the obligatory “oh hey you should totally join this activity the rest of us have already planned and coordinated based on each other’s schedules and interests” invite to somebody on the fringes only because there’s no polite way NOT to include her. I’ve also been the “fringe” friend on the receiving end of these invitations and it’s absolutely an awkward no-win situation - either you accept knowing they don’t really want you there, or you decline and then it’s your own fault if you feel left out. The answer here is to accept that these aren’t your people and to cultivate other friendships. Which does suck when it means kids can’t form organic friendships because the parents are pulling all the strings. But what are you gonna do.[/quote]
