So... DH has this core group of friends that he's had since high school. One of the women was a groomswoman in our wedding. She has a 3 year old son.
We were invited to the child's first birthday party, but not his second birthday party. Now, thanks to FB, I see that we weren't invited to his third birthday party this past weekend.
Last year I kind of brushed it off, as I figured as a kid gets older it really should be parties more for the kids than parents. But, last year, thanks to the photos, we saw that one other child-free couple was in attendance. This year, in the photos, I don't see anyone that I know for sure is child-free.
But in that friend group, it is only us and that one other couple who don't have kids. I can understand throwing parties primarily for children, but when your social group is 98% parents, it sucks to not include the non-parents... especially when the hostess in question is supposed to be one of DH's closest friends.
And, about 1.5 weeks ago he'd e-mailed her asking to get together (a double date) and she never replied, which he said was unlike her.
We're really in that phase where it's so hard to see your friends more often than like, once every 6 months, and that's when someone hosts a big party for some occasion or another. It bothers DH a lot.
So I don't know, would this bother you too? Any perspective to lend? Thanks!
