[quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be about her being overwhelmed but clearly she is fine to socialize -- just not with you/your kids. Since you gave her a reference, I assume she is/started as a work colleague and maybe even a work friend. You likely are old enough to realize that for many (most?) people, a work friend is NOT the same as a personal friend/family member. Sure some people like to grow out their friendships and that includes people they used to work with esp when they are no longer at the same -- bc they feel that they talked to you all day, every day for at least 8 hrs a day for work and you know all about them/their kids etc, so yeah you're a friend. But for most people work relationships are much more superficial; they'll reach out for references or maybe job advice, but they have no intention of going to your kid's birthday party or hanging out at your house -- even if they have no other "real" friends around (which this woman clearly does).[/quote]
