[quote=Anonymous]I think it is insensitive. My colleagues are my friends (they truly are - I can count on them professionally and personally), but there is definitely a social hierarchy at work and I am definitely not invited to lot of things. When I do hear inadvertently or through a picture on facebook that I wasn't invited, it does sting. Not a lot.  I have thick skin. But these facebook posts are inadvertent - a picture of a fire in the backyard of my friend's house with a comment about a perfect night or something.  They are not posing kids together and posting them on facebook.  And when I am invited to dinner when others in my department are not, I am careful not to post.  It is just being kind.  Just thinking about others.  I could imagine if my child had a best friend or two best friends posting pictures of them on  facebook occasionally - but not a pre-party that invited 5 girls and their moms. That does become exclusionary.

Now that I think of it, my child had a birthday where I invited every single five year old in his/her multi-aged class, but not the 4 or 3 year olds.  Now I am wondering if I should have been more circumspect about posting the pictures.  There have been birthday parties in my child's class that s/he wasn't invited to, bit no pics online of them.
