[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to everyone who has responded.  I also am pretty disappointed that none of the other moms wants to be my friend.  I was hoping this school would be our main source of a social life and friends (both friends for my child and family friends) and we have been really disappointed that that has not been the case.  I don't understand why the moms are neutral at best or give me the cold shoulder at worst.  I have so much in common with them, but they make it clear they're not interested in getting to know me.  I have invited a few out to coffee and one responded and we went, and it was a nice time but then later she started ignoring me at class events.  The others didn't even respond when I invited them out for coffee.  One time I invited one of the families over for a game night and the mom didn't even bother to respond, I found that really upsetting.  I know that many of the moms are getting together with each other, because I hear about this at different events.  I went to a birthday party a few weeks ago and found out that a bunch of the dads keep in touch via text.  My husband has never been included in anything socially through the class.

Why don't the other moms want to be my friend?  Any ideas?[/quote]

Don’t you have your own friends?

I have 3 kids so I have picked up a few of my own adult friends over the years. A few moms and I recently clicked and lunch occasionally. It isn’t that we are excluding anyone. It is that sometimes people click and for whatever reason, you don’t click with them.

My youngest is a girl and I have a large age gap between my older two. I definitely feel she isn’t included as much and I know it is likely because many of her classmates have younger siblings. The entire family hangs out together. We did the same wheb my boys were younger. I host often and people always come. I used to get upset about reciprocation but now I have accepted it. [/quote]
