AIBU to wonder why they bothered inviting me ?

[drnoitall]

I honestly feel like crying, mums from school that I'm quite friendly with asked me if I was free to meet at soft play with dc.
Lovely.
Only the under 4 area is at the opposite end of the large play centre to the main play area.

They sit at main play area leaving me on my own with a busy 13 month old whilst they chat together.
They know I'm here, I've been over said hello and said I'm over at the baby area. There are tables and chairs. I feel like shit now because they obviously don't see it matters.
Honestly , AIBU ?

Thanks everyone.
Of course I didn't expect everyone (anyone infact ) to pander to me.
I didn't expect to be ignored either, I went over as suggested, I was upset and it helped to have someone tell me pull yourself together!
Was very arkward, seating is fixed for 4 people and I was the 5!
I suppose it was just thoughless, I did as fluffy suggested, and said oh well toddler is restless I'm back to the baby section, ok they said and off I went alone. Some friends!
I understand what the majority of you said but who needs thoughless friends, I still don't know why the bothered asking me.
And to those who said, you weren't invited, the children were invited to play together...... Silly me, I'll stay home nxt time!

Muddling . Precisely what you said.

I must admit, I loved it once the DC no longer needed close supervision in a soft play area and I could sit round the corner and drink my coffee in peace - with other mums in the same situation.

YABU to forget that you won't be in this position for ever.

God what is it with the proliferation of these threads at the moment. Fully grown women acting like children.

I'm leaving a big bag o grips. Free to anyone that wants one.

Its hell, isn't it?! I remember trying to socialise with the mums of DC1's friends, and trying to keep an eye on DC2. Most of them only had 1 child, and were completely oblivious to the difficulty of supervising 2 children! Just can't do it without feeling like a spare wheel.

All I can say is that it will get better. Soon enough your second child will need less supervision, and you will have a chance to get to know the mums of your younger DC's friends when they get to nursery/school.

I now go out with the mum friends I have made from DC2's class, and borrow one of DC1's friends so that he has company when I go to these sort of places. I enjoy the outings ever so much more now!

I don't know if its just this or they are genuinely less my type of people, but I have hardly anything to do with most of DC1's friends' parents.
