When I was pregnant with my youngest child, who is now 6, I joined a mum's club for that month on another parenting forum. When our babies were about 18 months that forum closed down and so we all started a facebook group and carried on chatting there. There are about 20 of us in total.
I have met many of these women and we have had several big group nights out, and I comment and offer support regularly on our Facebook group.
I just feel quite upset as none of them apart from one or two ever comment on or like anything that I put on Facebook, yet they are extremely active on each others' photos and statuses. I know it's only Facebook and that it's meant to be no indication of real life but I can't help the fact that I do find it upsetting and like they're making a bit of a statement that they don't like me. They didn't even comment when my grandad died last year and I did a status about it, yet if one of them posts anything at all they are all over each other.
What gets me too, and I know this makes me seem like a saddo but I cannot help but notice it, is the two women that get the most likes and comments on their stuff never ever comment on anyone else's stuff, and never acknowledge replies from anyone else in the group. I have tried doing the same as these two women but it didn't change anything and still none of them commented on my stuff.
The two that do comment only comment occasionally, and it's never anything very friendly or warm.
Like I said, I know it's only Facebook but I consider them all to be real-life friends as I've met them, and as they live all around the country FB is the way to keep in touch with them all.
AIBU to be upset by it all? I am considering just deleting them all, leaving the group and moving on.

AIBU?
To be upset that these friends never bother with me (FB related)?
