Friend A I've known for 6 years, Friend B for 5. Met both through separate child related groups and now all three DC are friends and see each other every day. I used to be quite good friends with A and very good friends with B but since DC mutual friendship and A's personal angst over kids friendships in general (after concerns of her eldest 2) A has made a concerted effort to befriend B's family. Invited on days out, play dates etc. Generally these are not on anyone's radar as she's very discrete. Friend B used to comment that she is always in a huddle of two but now seems oblivious to this behaviour. Friend A shows a brief glimpse of annoyance on occasion when I join the twosome so I've stopped. As a result friendship with B is suffering though its not affecting our DC yet.
How would you feel and what would you do? I don't think there is much I can do and feel I have to accept friendships are not what they were.

I'd find friends C & D and have something else to do.

Thanks Ariela, I agree with your option but it takes time. Also difficult due to DC friendship being entwined

Carry on inviting B, friend A is trying to cut you out.
