[quote=Anonymous]New poster. I haven't read all the responses. To some extent, I get it.  But I am a believer that people come into your life for a reason, season, or lifetime and each has a place in this life. I'll never forget someone in college that I had zero in common with happened to be around when I was upset about a situation back home.  I can't remember what this person said, but I remember they comforted me in a time that I needed someone.  It was never that the person was mean, it was more of a run in different circles, grew up differently, never made the effort on either side to do things one on one.  So I remember the lesson I learned is that people can surprise you.

So just because for six years you have run in different circles, you don't have to bow down in awe that you have an invite or assume you are best buds. I would take it as an evening out getting to know the parents of your son's friends.  If you are an introvert and hate making small talk in general with people you don't know well, limit your outings with these parents to a few and let DH go on his own.  If you are outgoing but think there has been some sort of perceived slight, just let it go and treat it like going to your DH's holiday party - superficial conversation and small talk hopefully with flashes or humor or learning something new.[/quote]
