[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much have you done to initiate/pursue friendships with these women? There are people that I am nice to but I don't reach out to because, frankly, my schedule is full. But if someone showed real interest in a friendship, I would try to reciprocate up to the point where we both knew whether the friendship would work or not.

The other thing is: if your child and my child were good friends, I would definitely want to know you better. But if they don't have much of a relationship, unless we really clicked, there would be less payoff (for both of us) in pursuing a deeper friendship. In an ideal world this wouldn't be the case, but in a world crowded with work, family, current friends, volunteering, etc., I'm afraid it is (at least my) reality.

I don't mean to be harsh. Perhaps you've already tried to reach out, in which case my feedback is moot. But if not, if you really think you would like these other moms, I would give them a chance.[/quote]

I have tried, but thanks for the input. They always have a million excuses but then I find out they are all hanging out and having dinner parties with one another without us. We are "nice people" so not sure what the problem is. [/quote]

This has been my experience as well. I gave up trying after 2 years. I have a couple mom friends from my children's school. I u friended the mean moms on FB because it pained me to see them going out when I had invited them out weeks before.
What hurts is my children asking why we only go to John and Janes homes but not Scott and Suzy's homes.[/quote]
