[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a classic clique to me. No reflection on you that they won’t let you in. [/quote]

They came to socialize only with each other.

Not ideal in a public neighborhood place, but it has nothing to do with you. Hopefully your other neighbors are more inviting [/quote]

These women talk to OP at parties, get together, at the bus stop, and are perfectly polite to her. There’s no rule that says all people in the neighborhood with the same aged kids have to be a friend group. These are all adults. [/quote]

I agree with this.  They’re not excluding her and it’s ok if they are there the socialize with each other. They’re not being rude, they are not being unkind. They’re saying hello they’re being nice, they're not obligated to have op join them. [/quote]

They are in fact excluding her. That's the issue. No one is saying they need to include her at all times, but they can't be nice and inclusive for a short period of time at the freaking pool? That is weird.[/quote]

+1. There’s a big difference between not being invited to a BBQ for the neighborhood clique at someone’s house and women not being able to be friendly and inclusive to a fellow parent and someone who has a kid that is friends with their kids at the neighborhood pool. OP isn’t asking to be included in their private events, but she should be treated kindly at the pool when she’s making an attempt to be friendly.

Also, it’s not just women - there are two fathers in my neighborhood who are just cliquey and awful. It’s like they’re trying to redo their high school years or something. DD is on the same sports team as one of their DCs, and it’ll always be the father bragging about hanging out with other people from our neighborhood and their parties to my DH and I. We literally live across the street from them, we don’t need the play by play of how socially “cool” they are with neighbors when they don’t ever invite us. It’s downright tacky. [/quote]
