So... My DS started pre-school a few months ago (has been at nursery for years and is very sociable but I wanted him to meet more local children), and I have found the parents (let's face it, mums!) very clicky. I started to make a few friends, parents of children who were friends with my DS, and was invited to a couple of houses for him to play. I tried to return the favour, but on 4 occasions have been left waiting at home with DS whilst these people did not turn up, and ignored all my messages! Obviously he was very upset and I have had to make it up to him, usually by going to the park, during which on one occasion, I actually spotted said parent leaving, with another friend, whilst she was supposed to be at my house!
I'm not coming over as desperate. I have stopped inviting these people over, and they now don't invite me to theirs. I chat to them when I see them but don't go out of my way. I feel so sorry for my DS though, and now I hear there is a parents' night out, of which I was previously told would happen, but have actually not been told the date. I can see them all discussing it on Facebook, but have not been invited. Feeling very down about it and like I am back in the school playground. I try to just steer clear of getting drawn in to the clickiness but it really hurts quite a lot.
