[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who often hosts big get togethers, smaller get togethers, 1:1 play dates, whole family activities, moms’ night activities, group vacations, etc. I will say I agree with the PP who says a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Sometimes I limit things to kids/moms from X activity because that is all I have the limit for. Or we’re keeping it smaller because someone I’m friends with is going through something. Sometimes I prioritize inviting over families of kid X, and next time Y or Z (I have 3 kids so we have a lot of friend groups). Sometimes we do last minute neighborhood mom things. It just varies all the time.

It’s not realistic to be included in everything and it doesn’t make these women “mean” just because you didn’t get invited.

Go plan the get together you want to have. [/quote]

Great advice here! I never ever post anything like this in social media and will do what I can to keep my kids from doing so as they get older, because it’s sort of needlessly annoying. But at the end of the day, a group of 5 kindergartners sounds like a lot already! Maybe I’m very cliquish because I never host more than 2-3 kids at a time, unless it’s a birthday party. Also, there will be drama at some point. Really really encourage her to make friends outside this group (while still playing and having fun with these girls too). As the mom of an older girl I have been SO thankful my kid has multiple social groups….[/quote]
