[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a good life lesson to me. OP, you do sound like a sweetheart, but life is filled with people who don't like you, forget to invite you, or for some reason that has nothing to do with you, don't include you. (By "you" I mean each of us, not you in particular.) We've all had the experience of not being included. You can let it get to you or you can focus on the people you love and who also love you and just live a positive life. It's probably good for your DC to see you modeling an attitude of nonchalance about this so she learns how to let this stuff roll off her back too. And all you've learned here is that this other mom is not someone to invest your time in. She's going to miss out on having a nice friend, but you are not. [/quote]

Hate to be so cynical but I'm finding that life is full of people who only want to be friends with/chase after the people they find exciting/interesting, potentially helpful etc. That means that people like OP -- who sounds nice, kind, and like a decent person -- are forgotten. I feel the same way often -- if I call people or organize, they are happy to hang out with me and once they get to know me, they think I am a kind, loyal friend. But because I don't stand out as the life of the party and cannot be all that helpful right now in any job/career goal for anyone else, they don't ever give me the first thought. It gets old and I've made efforts to cut such people out, though it's a balance bc you don't want to cut everyone out and then be lonely.[/quote]
