the fact that my family (DH and in-laws) have all gone out for lunch and not invited me?

Background - I'm a foreign national that moved to England with my husband last year when he was asked to join the family business.

At home I had loads of close friends and a very promising (if stressful) career and a loving close-knit family. We discussed the pro's and con's etc and decided that all in all it was probably best for us to move and settle here. That said it has been a really difficult 15months or so for me, due to professional registration issues I was only able to start work (and at a much more junior level than at home) in July last year and as I was 20weeks pregnant by then I could only get a temporary position.

We also live in a small village in the North and I have had few opportunities to make new friends (those friends that we have are all in London)so my only real adult contact and 'frienships' are with DH's family (his parents also live down the road from us).

They are all lovely although my MIL is a very strong-willed and opinionated woman an I frequently have to put up with her 'light-hearted' comments about being a bad mother.

My DS is 15weeks old now and a very high-need (recovering slowly from colic) baby. I attend bf groups etc in the local town etc and although all the ladies are lovely have not really made any friends yet.

So suffice to say I feel rather isolated most of the time and finding out that they've all gone out the nice new restaurant this afternoon (that is child friendly) but haven't even bothered to ask me just made me feel really left out and and just a little

Am I taking this all to seriously and BU

FioFio - because he's got colic. So when he cries inconsolably it mus be because I'm not good enough, yes?
