I am sorry I need a rant
I am so hacked off with the unfriendly and uninviting nature of a lot of the mums on the school run. Or maybe it is me?
I make an effort to smile, to chat and make small talk. I have gone against my introvert nature and even gone up to other mums and instigated conversation. I ask them about their lives and their children
After weeks of getting nothing back and not one play date for my ds and at least two parties he hasn't been invited to I give up. I am beginning to worry about my ds, who to my knowledge is a very normal, nice little boy. I do have close friends but they tend to live further away or don't have kids. Whilst I am introvert by nature, I do like people and would like some support/social contact.
Most days I hear other mums arranging their play dates and parties and on numerous occasions I have left the school playground in tears because I feel so lonely inside. I know some of you will tell me to get a thicker skin or the problem is me but it isn't that easy is it?
