Hi ladies,
I'm new here. I'm expecting my second child in May and have a 19 month old son. I have a friend who is also a stay at home mom, who had been inviting me along to brunches and ladies dinner nights with a group of her mom friends before I had my first baby. When I got pregnant, the invites all of a sudden ceased. She still continued to to want to make plans with me, and we still hung out one on one, but she stopped inviting me to the ladies dinners and brunches. I got along great with the group, and I've had plenty of individual messaging convos with some of the ladies in that group since and there doesnt seem to be any dislike from them. She keeps posting photos of dinners and brunches with them on social media and I can't help but feel super hurt and left out as I really would have liked to be included. Especially being a stay at home mom and having little adult interaction. I just don't understand why when I got pregnant the invites and inclusion ceased when they are all moms? It would make sense if they didn't have kids, as it's pretty common for that to happen, but I have more in common with them all now than I even did before. I feel like a high school girl getting left out of team pick in gym class. Any advice on what to do? Should I move on? Or try to reconnect somehow? I'm introverted so I don't really have any other mom groups to hang with.
