[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, the women who people perceive to be exclusive don't usually intend that. They are doing their thing with their friends with whom they are close. Their kids have been together for a long time because the moms are friends so they spend a lot of time together.

Which is not to say that they should not be more welcoming -- they should be. But I think often it's not about intentionally leaving anyone out as it is about being oblivious and not really giving much thought to how they are perceived and the vibe they give off.[/quote]
I agree with this.  I'm not in a group of mom friends, but have been excluded.  I remember being at an out of town basketball tournament and the group was going on about how they had dinner the night before etc and I was thinking, "wow, they are really not thinking, that there are five of them talking about this dinner and I'm here and they didn't invite me (or my kid)."

They are just not thinking...about you.  So they don't think to invite you to dinner, and don't think about how you are standing there listening to them talk about their dinner.  Or whatever it is, OP.

I don't take it personally and I also know others who have been excluded and there is nothing wrong with these moms or these kids that were excluded.  It's just that that group goes way back and they are tight, and they have no idea how exclusionary or mean that they may appear to others.[/quote]

I think I disagree with this.  If you are at a organized group event then you should be including everyone and making everyone feel welcome.  Who you invite to dinner or to your home is one thing, but you can’t talk about those events and exclude people at a public events - especially kids.[/quote]
