to be expected to be invited to my neighbour's party?

[TheWizardofOz]

I heard about it from a mutual mate and am really hacked off that they haven't had the decency to invite us this year.

Did you offend them in some way?
Have you ever invited them round to yours?

Yes we are friends. They have been over here too.

Credit crunch?

YABU - it is nice to be invited to someones party but you shouldn't automatically assume that you will be.

She does do this sometimes - excluding me, like when she goes out with colleagues. I don't know what to think about it.

Perhaps she likes to socialise with other people apart from you from time to time

Are you and she colleagues as well as neighbours then? Or do you know her colleagues too?

I do know OF them so to speak. Anyway I can hear they are trying out the music now.

As she didn't invite you, why not ring the police and complain about the noise. I mean, that's just rubbing your nose in it, surely

Hmm that IS a good idea. Will she know it is me? I do think if there is a party in a street then everyone needs to go.

Are you the child brat that went to every party your siblings went to, regardless of whether you were invited ??

Is that an issue?

I'm never quite sure these days whether something's asked as a joke or not. Assuming serious, of course YABU! Good grief, if you ever want to be invited around again, keep quiet about your disappointment. Unless everyone in the street contributes to a party (and rent a venue!), it's not a neighborhood party at all!

Don't feel bad, excluding you doesn't mean she doesn't like you.

YABU

a party in the street everyone needs to go?

No one needs to go to a party and no one needs to invite everyone.

That is a rotten thing to do - keep your distance

You want to be invited out to evenings with her colleagues when you only know of them?

You are behaving like a spoiled brat - that is my considered opinion, my gut reaction was quite robust so I decided not to post it.

yabu. if this is serious it's an absolute ridiculous attitude to have.
you're neighbours not best mates.and even if you were i wouldn't invite my best mate out with colleagues, because it would just be weird.
and the idea that everyone on the street should be invited is just bizarre.

sounds a bit odd but some people do like to engineer their friendship groups and keep some friends separate.

YANBU

You SHOULD be invited - bloody cheek! If they're your friends, and you socialise together, then they should invite you!

Trying out the music is really rubbing your nose in it.

YABU. I don't invite my neighbours to my parties because I don't have that sort of relationship with them! I say hello when I see them and may be pass the time of day but that's it!

YABU.
Somtimes I have parties at home with my friends.
Sometimes I have my neighbours around.
My house, up to me who I invite.

Well, I don understand that some people keep different groups seperate and that is ok, a house party though is no big deal if you have two more is it?

Sorry I meant "I DO", not I don't.

Sometimes some of your friends won't get on though. I've got friends that I wouldn't invite at the same time, yet that doesn't mean one is more important than the other.

SO do you think if they all get on I should leave them to it?

Was thinking of popping over later to have a lookie see.
