[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is there to be gained by confronting people that excluded you from events?
Other than looking like sad pathetic losers?[/quote]

These were small events just for family. On a few occasions my husband was the only one of the children not to be invited.
By confrontation I don't mean being rude or demanding. He could have casually asked if we could join them.

They sometimes organize these small events on a weekday. My husband works full time from Monday to Friday so he can't take time off work for family gatherings during the week.  It's usually a lunch at home or out, a celebration or other. The others are either SAHMs, or they have a more flexible timetable.[/quote]
So you, not so much your DH are excluded from weekday events organized by SAHMs? Do you work? Why would you even go if you don't have a kid? If your DH is working, and you are working, what would be the purpose to invite you? I am totally confused by what you what and what do you find there is to stand up for.[/quote]

My husband and I both work. We are the only ones in his family who are childfree.

They can organize lunches and other weekday events where, when and as often as they please but it would be nice if they did something at a weekend once in a while so that my husband and I can join in. They know we both work on weekdays.
Perhaps they're not inviting us because we're unavailable during the week but it means we miss out.[/quote]
