Feel a bit shit

[BlueEyesBrownHair]

Im on a school mums WhatsApp group, only a very small group (4 of us) and we all get along really well, same age, all have daughters who play together etc. Do see each other at school, chat all the time in person/on the text, will meet up every so often for nights out, couple of the kids do tennis together etc.

ive seen on socials theyve all met up with partners and kids for a day out on Saturday without me! My daughter and I werent even invited. Just feel a bit left out 😭 🫤

I know it's hurtful. But try and dial down your feelings and expectations. I agree with pp other people's ideas of what friendship is can be very different. I considered leaving a group for similar reasons but just stepped back mentally and emotionally and found that if I cared less, I really did care less. There is still some fun to be found from the wider group friendship, but categorize it appropriately - other really close friends are your real friends, you should save your energy for upset here if you were to be shunned by them. In a years time the 4 dds may not even be friends. The friendship will grow, change, recede over time as it is based on circumstances and your kids age. Don't do anything dramatic, just realign you expectations to protect yourself but remain open for your dds sake and fact you will see them at the school for a few years!

Thanks all x
