Not to be invited?

Got a group of friends with similar aged kids. Meet up in the holidays due to kids being at school. Haven't spoken to some of them for a while, but they also haven't made contact with me. Some of them (most of the group) have met up and didn't invite us. There's no bad blood that I'm aware of. They also didn't invite another family. Am I right to be annoyed? Or do I just put on my big girl pants and get on with life?? I'd never invite just a few out, I'd ask all of them.

It depends. It isn't nice to feel left out, but equally some activities are much easier with certain combinations of dc. Maybe those who met up have dc that get on better or just feel like closer friends?

@Stompythedinosaur I did wonder that actually. As I have a younger one. But the activity wouldn't have made a difference if he'd gone or not. Also An activity that we've all done before. Just seemed a bit harsh. But maybe I'm over thinking it.

Tbh I'd probably feel the same and be upset!

But I do think maybe there are reasons, large groups of dc can make it difficult to coordinate an activity. It doesn't necessarily mean these people aren't friends.

@Stompythedinosaur very true! I do feel a bit hurt by it to be honest. But I also hadn't been in touch so wasn't sure whether I had the right to be
