Last year we had a few play dates with a another little girl who was in DD's reception class as well as a 3 way play date. The girls all get on really well and I thought that us mums had too. When we had the last play date we said let's do it again. Anyway, it turns out that the other 2 mums have been meeting up for play dates and coffee and not invited us. I know that I have no right to expect to be asked, but it is a little hurtful. Earlier this week DD and I were walking behind them on the way home after a parents' meeting and when I tried to join in the conversation I was talked over and ignored. The other mum then got into the other mum's car and asked her DD that was she excited for her play date. My DD obviously overheard this and was a little hurt not to have been asked.
This morning at drop off DD went over to one of the little girls to try and play and she turned her back on DD, which hurt DD again. Then this evening waiting on the playground at pick up one of them pushed right past myself to go and give the other a hug. I am going to just keep a bit of distance now as it is obvious that one of these mums is desperate to be friends with the other one. Is it always like this?
