My kids have all went to the same school for the last ten years, older ones are in secondary now but still have one younger in primary.
Over the years I have chatted to other mums and they’ve all complained about the clucky hens - the cliques that form in the playground. A lot of mums have moaned that there’s been a social event and they’ve been passed over, or there’s been a party, an event, that sort of thing.
These same mums have a group now called “school” Mums and they have regular nights out, as a group, and going by the Facebook pics they’re a blast.
Tonight I had a cuppa with a longstanding friend who has kids at a totally different school, and she asked me why I wasn’t out with “school” mums. She had been invited and would have came with me. WTF?!
I have issues with self confidence and worry constantly that I’m not good enough, is this confirmation? I’m quite awkward, never know how to keep a conversation going and make way too much eye contact, but I thought I had a connection with some of these mums? AIBU to think they should have asked me?
Feel like shit, seems like I’m an embarrassment not good enough
