[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kid was younger, I often read invites via email or text, then thought I needed to check my schedule before responding, got caught up, forgot, felt guilty, knew the other person would be upset if I did respond so late, so I just didn't. For people who I knew would be understanding, I would respond late.  [/quote]

OP -- This.  What you are experiencing happened ALL the time to me when my kids were really little.  I think moms of little ones (like 4 and under) are just frazzled and tired and that gets in the way of social graces.   Truly, many people can not handle both a social life and motherhood.
 I absolutely wouldn't take it personally.  If they kept declining invitations, then I might assume they weren't interested in a friendship with me; but no response implies they forgot, are overwhelmed, etc.

Hang in there. I do think things get better as kids get older and more self-sufficient.  
For now,  maybe just focus on the people who have their act together and do respond?
Good for you for making the effort!  [/quote]
