I have this uncontrollable sense of worry around being rejected. And it extends to my children being rejected, too. When I saw 2 other mothers chatting, clearly discussing weekend plans - both of which have sons that play with my own often - I felt the sting of rejection. And it’s made even more complicated by the fact that I know that I grew up being told - and experiencing myself - that friend groups of 3 is really hard. So I want him to be invited AND I know 3 doesn’t always work.
