So today I took my son to a rock paining arts and crafts play date thing. It was pretty cool but we probably lasted maybe 10 minutes of painting. He really only wanted to go outside and play. And the other kids involved decided to follow. Which wasn’t a big deal except for I believe our hostess got upset that everybody got up to go outside. I don’t know what she expected from this event. she invited over 100 moms to attend. Granted we all know not everyone will show up and whenever there’s a play date of some sort it’s usually the same 15 faces. But only 5 moms showed up and that included me. The kids painted their rocks and they were done so they wanted to go outside. I was unaware but before I got there the hostess had mentioned that she didn’t want her daughter to go outside and play. So as soon as my son was done painting and he wanted to go outside. We got up to go and she made the ugliest face y’all. Like it was obvious that she was upset that we were getting up from the table to go outside. But I didn’t know that she didn’t want her daughter to go. And that sucks but she can’t expect us to sit in a room for two hours painting rocks. That shit gets boring after a while. My son had more fun running around for those two hours with the other kids that he did for those 10 minutes sitting inside painting a rock. I know when it comes to hosting an event everybody wants Everything to go smoothly and to have a great turn out. But this mom is socially awkward and it’s obvious. Myself and one of the other moms had mentioned that she needs to put her self out there more. Because earlier she had mentioned to me how she wish she would get invited to more things or be included in more things but no one knows who she is. She doesn’t attend any of the other play dates and nobody can seem to know who she is when she pops up in a conversation on the moms group. I went today cause I thought it would be fun for my son to paint a rock. And it would get him out of the house for a little bit but he just wanted to play outside. We were there from beginning to end and all the kids wanted to do is just play together. So now us moms are planning another play date at the splash pad this weekend. And I had extended the invite to her not knowing that one of the other moms didn’t seem to like her presence. Now I feel like an asshole because I extended the invite but I didn’t know. But she told me she wants to be included in more thing so I thought it be a great idea and now I feel like things might get awkward because one of the moms doesn’t want her there 🤦🏻♀️😒 I didn’t know what had happened before I got there. I can get along with anyone But I feel like I don’t click with this mom either. But if she tells me that she’s feeling left out I can’t just go and make plans with these other moms and not include her for her just to feel left out. ALSO might I add that one of the moms tagged us on a group photo and the other moms were making plans for the splash pad. So how bad would it look that we all go to the splash pad and we don’t invite her having had this conversation under a photo she’s also tagged in. But I don’t have time for this nonsense lol Hopefully she’s friendlier at the splash pad and no one gets weird
