[quote=Anonymous]As tough as it is to hear this, it's really not personal. I say this as someone who isn't part of the mom crowd. My kid's in a program where the class stays together year to year. Early on, the moms who lived near one another bonded and yes, their kids often got together. My kid is friends with them but we weren't included then. As they've grown, so has the circle of inclusion. We're invited to more group things as the kids ask for their friends. But honestly? These are my kid's friendships, not mine. I'm kind when the group engages me. I've found them to be very kind and open in return. But the kind of closeness they have together is just not gonna happen with me. It's not in my nature and I have my own friends outside of my kid's life. I'd say take a pause and remember that kid friendships are fluid. They flourish or fail so suddenly. Help your kid ride the waves and have your own people outside of that circle to help you, too.[/quote]
