[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to our current area two years ago and made a solid group of friends with similar aged children.

All has been going well.  There’s is one woman who has a lot of pull with our social group.  She has always been friendly with me but I know she is capable of being catty.

For Memorial Day she hosted a party.  We did not attend and instead saw old friends on our old neighborhood about an hour away.

After we returned I noticed a shift in her behavior towards me.  She was just less friendly, a bit shorter.

We planned to host a 4th of July party and sent out invites mid-May (6-8 weeks advance tends to be the norm for this friend group).  She RSVP’d as well as many others.

Today I got an invite for the same day and the same time to *her* 4th of July party.

This seems very weird no?  We didn’t just not show up to her Memorial Day party.  We let her know we couldn’t make it far in advance.  We had already planned on seeing our old friends.

This is the only thing I can think of that would upset her.  We are all in our mid to late 30s so this kind of behavior just seems juvenile.

My husband and I aren’t about social drama so are thinking about canceling our party.  We honestly only threw ours because we don’t host often and felt like we should but won’t if it’s going to split our group.  We know we’d lose anyways and I don’t want to waste time, money and effort on a party no one attends.

I think you need to evaluate why you’re friends with a group that you think are this toxic. If she’s got that level of mean girl energy and a friend group that indulges it, then you need to move on and find new friends. You are an adult! Do not invite toxicity into your life. There’s enough to deal with without having crappy “friends”.[/quote]
