OP is not a 7 year old

She knows this

She just wanted some neighborly social interaction and ran into a clique who just wanted to hang by themselves. Now she knows not to bother with them.

and they are rude. There is no reason they can't include her but there are too many women, particularly among the stay at home set, who get off on hurting other people. I moved into a neighborhood with a very mean clique of women who would intentionally invite new moms to their house and then ignore the new mom and their kids would ignore that woman's child. There were two moms who ran things who were just hateful and they expected their children to be treated like the queen bees they thought they were. I was so glad I had boys. They are awful to this day. They were mean to enough people that they and their kids were eventually excluded. It's all so nasty. [/quote]

Yes, nasty is right. I joined a moms’ group when I moved to a different part of the DC area, and experienced something similar at the first play date I attended. Some moms were perfectly friendly, but a few asked oddly personal or loaded questions that made me feel like they enjoyed watching me squirm. I stuck with the group for a while because there were some normal, nice women there, but at some point learned that the mean clique was in fact “vetting” new members to see if they were worthy of hanging out with them. Their behavior was much meaner and more vindictive than any middle school clique.[/quote]
