[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to clarify whether she is (1) disliked or (2) just kind of forgotten for whatever reason

Is she is disliked by the others, then I don’t see what you can do really. You can and should continue inviting her to your events if you are friends, but you can’t make others like her..

I will say that I moved to a new town when my DC were 4 and 6- made a new friend who included me (in neighborhood and other impromptu get togethers with the kids, and introduced us around) and I was so grateful! She is a wonderful person and we are still friends, nearly 10 years later. I’m also still friendly with many or most of the other moms I met- even though we’ve gone separate ways to some degree as our kids have gotten older. If you can be kind- why not?

In 2nd grade, it really isn’t about the kids- unless the kids is just awful (a terrible bully etc) it tends to be more about the mom friendships from what I recall.

I do find it odd that she expects you to do this and is upset with you...I was grateful but never felt entitled to be included. And certainly wouldn’t have ever mentioned it in the way she is. This makes me wonder if there is something a bit odd about her and the rest of the group dislikes her for that reason..
