Re: Would this bother you? TTC related, kids b day parties etc

Yes, it probably would bother me.

I was sad to not be invited to my MOH's kids birthday parties even though they were at kiddie places. I would have loved to be there to celebrate!

Re: Would this bother you? TTC related, kids b day parties etc

I typically don't get upset about this type of thing. DH definitely does. He feel that we should be invited and that he is being snubbed because we don't have kids. I understand how you are feeling though and I think that your feelings are valid.

Re: Would this bother you? TTC related, kids b day parties etc

This would bother me because it's not at a kiddie place and they've purposely chosen to exclude you because you don't have kids.

Re: Would this bother you? TTC related, kids b day parties etc

It would bother me if it was a close friend. I love my friend's children, I send them gifts for bdays even if they don't have parties or live far away. But if it was not a close friend and was a money issue, I'd understand.

Re: Would this bother you? TTC related, kids b day parties etc

It would definitely bother me. Everyone on DH's side has kids. (siblings and cousins) We're actually the only couple who doesn't. A couple of his cousins don't invite us to the kids parties but the others do and so do his siblings. My thought about not inviting people who don't have kids is what happens if they are never able t have kids? Then they never get to celebrate with everyone else?

Re: Would this bother you? TTC related, kids b day parties etc

this would def bother me, if its not a "kiddie" party then why the exclusion. I also totally get not wanting to go but still feeling slighted, you kinda get that "well I didn't want to go to your stupid party anyway!!" feeling....yeah been there...

Thank you everyone- you all made me know my feelings are valid. I might unfriend her on FB, I do feel slighted. I am really annoyed, she was happy to accept our baby present when her baby was born, and our nice house warming gift and going to her BBQ last Memorial Day and us bringing food over.Would it be really bad if I unfriend her and if I do not partake in going over to her house ever again? Or is that too harsh....????? Maybe I am just sensitive about this- lately everyone is asking me when are you going to have a baby- and that it is okay to not have one- and then they are trying to figure out if we want kids- We do want a baby, but it is no one's business when and how long it is going to take. I am having some health issues I have to work thru first. When is my sex life anyone's business... sorry now I am rambling...
