New year

[Meandkids]

Hi all,

Just want some perspective as feeling low today. Please be kind.

Situation is I have a few very good friends and sometimes on new year we catch up. This year one set were invited to a party by another friend (an old neighbour) who I only have limited interaction with now, we didn’t get invited.

Another went to a party held by another family that we know but kids ages etc (we have teenager) as well as child of same age they all have kids that are in same classes etc, so we weren’t invited again.

Not hugely bothered but a bit, but hate the idea of depending on people to make my new year... maybe I should just plan a romantic eve and forget others but I hate the idea of my kids missing out too... or maybe I feel I am missing out and don’t know why... I am 43 and should be a bit more over This surely?

Hi if you feel like your missing out could you not invite people to your home ? I have small circle of friends and since we had children (18 years ago) we have gone to each other's houses nye. The children are now all teens. Must admit last night was hard going as me and my partner are both ill . When people arrived most of them said they would rather have stayed at home !! But that's just there strange humour

Thanks for replying. Had drinks etc at mine on Xmas eve so prob couldn’t afford both! Maybe next year! Props I’m a bit emotional!
