[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kids do you have? If you have 4 and everyone else has 1 or 2 this makes sense. Sorry, that’s the reality of having a big family. 
[/quote]
Because OP has 2 extra kids they can’t join? That makes no sense if there are already a bunch of other kids there. [/quote]

Look this is watching a game indoors. Space matters. They can invite OP’s family if 6 or two families of 3. It is what it is. [/quote]

It was an outdoor watch party. We have four kids, including a set of twins. I get that our family is too large for casual socializing, but for
“Family” to say we are too large of a family  for them hurts. [/quote]

If you get so “hurt” over them “letting you down” *one time in 18 years* of friendship, then I hope for their sake that you give them some space for a while. How ungrateful, for you to repay 18 years of friendship with being this entitled and pouty over ONE time that you weren’t invited. One time. In 18 years.[/quote]

I was thinking about this and the more I think about it I actually think it's more hurtful to not be included one or two times when you are included every single time than it is to be included say half the time and the other half you're not. The reason I say this is because it changes the usual statues quo of always being invited every single time for 18 years and then after 18 years it...stops.[b] It makes you stop and think why all of a sudden after 18 years am I not invited[/b]. As opposed to being invited her and there you are used to that and assume that as the status quo.[/quote]

They told you.  It's your kids.  But they told you nicely, by saying too many kids instead of saying they were sick of their behaviour, or the lack of oversight, or whatever the actual issue is.  People can like or love someone's kids and still be tired of dealing with them.  Ask many grandparents/aunts/uncles.[/quote]
