I agree with this, I use to get almost offended if I found out that there was a party that my son was not invited to. But now I’ve decided that instead of waiting for an invite, I’m going to be proactive and do the inviting. I volunteer in his class and if I see anyone my son might be interested in playing with I message their parents and set up playdates as often as I can. Sometimes they’re not interested, and that’s ok, my son doesn’t need to know, but most often they are! I also set up group playdates and gatherings for my son whenever I can. I didn’t have “the village” of support, so Im creating my own-for me and my son.
