Am I being paranoid?

Christmas mums and kids meet up today, fairly small group, organised by a newish mum. Dd has been not feeling great and I said in the last couple of days that she’d been not that well, but we wanted to come and would try to make it. Other friends in the group saying they were sad she was unwell and they hoped to see us etc.
The mum who organised it just kept saying ‘Don’t worry not to be there’ and saying she didn’t expect us to be there and saying the numbers now were such and such, basically not including us.
Am I being paranoid in thinking she didn’t really want us there?

Focus on the friends that missed you and not the newish Mum. Also start organising some things so she doesn’t become queen bee and dominating the group. You don’t have to like everyone and they don’t have to like you. You know who your good friends are in this group stick to them. Have a good Christmas and forget about newish mum!

Of course she doesn't want to mix with a sick person a week before Xmas.

This !

This is quite normal from what I see. Ever heard of RTFQ?

@Devora13 What does that stand for

Read The Full (or substitute F word!) Question 😁

A lot of people don't seem to yet reply anyway based on their own version of reality.

A lot of posters on here 'got it' immediately and offered reasonable explanations that the OP doesn't seem to want to accept. She appears to be determined to take umbrage against this mum

Why would you consider taking an unwell child? She doesn't want your child to pass it on to her family
