Hello all. I'm feeling gloomy and would love some advice.
Today was the end of term for my 10 year old DS. I suggested a meetup next week with one of the mums I feel most comfortable with - she said yeah, sure, I don't see anyone; it's actually quite a blessing. 2 other parents then come over to join us, and the 3 of them start talking about who's driving to something they have all obviously arranged, mentioning another 2 families from the class.
I'm always friendly to everyone, but nobody ever asks DH or I to do anything with them, despite nobody having an issue with us (truth is, we've never been close enough to any of them, not fallen out, DS is well-liked). Everyone is in their groups, and we aren't in any of them.
We did organise a BBQ a couple of years ago, but 2 of the couples had fallen out which kinda spoiled it. Then I picked myself up, invited 7 of them to come over for my birthday cos DH was away. 5 of them turned me down, because they didn't like the others I'd invited, and although I said I understood, quietly I was crushed. Now they've all regrouped, and DH and I are nowhere....
What do we do? Where do couples go to make friends with groups of other people? I feel like we must be really unlikeable.
