Hello!

I have a group of friends that I used to always catch up with on a regular basis. We all have young children so it’s a great little support group. I had my third child recently and since I haven’t been getting invitations to the catch ups. I have tried to organise them myself and they always get cancelled or just don’t come to fruition. We are all still friends and talk via text message regularly, I don’t sense there is a problem, I just don’t know what’s going on. Some days it gets me really upset and I start thinking stupid things like I’m not good enough, or not cool and trendy enough to hang out with them. And my children are very well behaved and polite. All the children get along so well, so I know that isn’t the issue.


Want more real mum questions sent to you?

  • I would ask them if there is any issues and continue to ask them out.. but if to no avail I would try and make new friends x


  • I’d keep trying to organise catchups and see what happens.


  • We can get caught up in all the demands of life, don’t take this too personal.
    Personally I would make clear i would love a catch up, that you miss them all and want to invite them all over ! You say you have been trying this but they get cancelled or just don’t come to fruition. By who do they get cancelled ?


  • Maybe just ask in a joking way and see the response


  • Maybe they think they will give you some breathing space, time to adjust to having a new baby. And maybe you are feeling super sensitive at the moment due to being an overtired, stressed out new mum with two other children. Keep in contact, let them know you’re interested in catching up, I’m sure it will happen


  • Are you still in contact with these friends?


  • I would talk to them and try to get some answers!


  • My suggestion would have been not to worry as it would work itself out. What did happen BTW?


  • You need to ask your friends why this keeps happening.
    Tell them its upsetting you & you’re feeling left out.
    They may not realize they’ve been upsetting you & may actually think they’ve been helping you!
    If they’re really your friends they will do more to make you feel included, if this doesn’t happen you need to move on & find new friends.
    Hope things improve soon!


  • I would discuss this with your friends as well!


  • sounds like somethings up ask one of them then move on


  • I would discuss this with your friends as it is obviously weighing on you.


  • I have found this with some of my friends to:( so I made new ones.


  • I would ask them directly, maybe they have been getting busy each time


  • i agree with another comment ..just ask straight up …God Bless and good luck
