How would you have handled this?
I'm in a group of 6 friends, we used to be very close but there has been some distance I thought through busyness etc.
Kids all go to same school but different classes and years and clubs so some of us some some more than others if that makes sense.
It has been continually alluded to by Pam we'll call her that she is having a tough time with something, perhaps work replated but I don't know. It seems to be a bit of a secret but is like I said constantly eluded to in the group chat - everyone seems to know but me.
Fine.
However today a meet up was planned with the kids and again in real life this was constantly eluded to and talked about in code and side eyes to me to the point where I felt so uncomfortable I had to leave early - which they clearly wanted me to do. I don't think it has anything to do with anything I've done I think it's Pam's job and maybe something to do with her marriage (I know here husband clearly but my DH and him are not friends).
Now we can tell who we want but it just felt like really shitty behavior and my DCs were having a nice time, I had to promise them McDonalds to get them away.
It had already been an nearly two hrs of whispering and 3 of them wondering off away from me leaving me stood like a lemon.
