"Say WHAAT...Sunday" hot topic: Do you ever find that you are NEVER invited to anything?

So, you got hitched, had some kids, work full time and are living a pretty full life, one thing, you are NEVER invited to anything going on with your friends and family.. What is up with that? 

Our Wedding Cake

Life has been weird since Hubby and I got hitched. We have lost a lot of friends, for no apparent reason. Maybe I should retract that statement, I think that we have lost ALL our friends.  Yes, they have drifted in and out through the years, but only a small few have remained somewhat present. I have always just let it roll off my back or put it in the back of my mind, but lately, our kids are getting older and it just seems weird! 

We got married seven years ago. We were the only ones doing it, so I think that pushed a lot of people out of our lives, because in a sense, we were growing up and they wanted to remain single and we were taking our relationship to the next step. 

I think that they drifting started when we got our house. The boys that would come for dinner all the time or just stop by, suddenly stopped! 

The Wedding Pary...

But, we had one of those buddies as Hubby's Best Man, and since that day, he just fizzled into space. I totally get that people are in different stages in their lives, but it just makes me so sad to know that I am the type of person who would have made them an Uncle to our kids, loving to have them in our lives. 

But, the other day, our friends, kind of at an acquaintance level, had a party for their kid, who is only a year older than our oldest and everyone and their Mama gets an invite, except us. It is crazy! I would love to introduce our kids, which is sad because they really should already know one another! 

But, I get it, we hear the same old excuses, well we thought Hubby was working, or you live to far and we didn't think you would come.. Blah, Blah, Blah. 

Yes, we are busy, but we are so open to widening our social circles. This goes for Hubby's Family too, they have kid birthdays and parties and such and NEVER invite us. Those are the only "cousins" that my girls are going to have. It just sucks sometimes!

More like when you have no one else. Screw you, convenient "friend"...

Does anyone else feel this way?  I have said for years that we need to find couple friends who are like us, with kids, and a couple and all that- but so far, it is still just us, in this bubble with babies!

Hopefully life will change somewhat, to allow us to throw these big parties and get together's that we both dream about! As soon as Good Old Gray's gets a little more together we are having a BASH and inviting everyone who has isolated us to open the door and start fresh!

Hopefully it works in our favor and brings out people to party for years down the road!

(sounds great anyhow!)

Well, that is my say what Sunday, hopefully we are not the only ones feeling like this, and if anyone else is, your not alone!  

Time for a change!


Even if we resist or avoid change , it will enter our life just the same. When we initiate the change ourselves, it’s pretty easy to adopt to it, since it’s a wanted one.
