    Fool me once, shame on you.
    Fool me twice, shame on me

    Live by those rules when deciding how much you want to continue in a relationship

    Seems like this is a married-with-children thing. A single wouldn't put up with this. But as a married person I think spending time with these types is a necessity to keep the peace with your kids and husband. Just view the relationship with these "dear friends" as perfunctory, not as personal.

    What was the movie?

    Bumblebee. We had planned to go with the kids too.

    Thanks for all the replies... I just know that this isn't the ideal friendship. I do feel a bit like a hypocrite though... I like C, we're just really not that close, and honestly I don't think we could be (again, my kids don't like hers, I don't agree with some of her parenting choices, and we're very different). I like B too but she's VERY different from me and we will never agree on some fundamental issues - plus she can't stop talking about things I couldn't care less about and she often annoys me.

    So that's the thing - people annoy me too. Most of the time I'd rather be alone and do my own thing than hanging out with people. The only person I can talk to for hours without being bored is A's husband. I just have to accept that people can still like me without wanting to spend a lot of time with me... it's life and totally normal.

    I guess we had a 'honeymoon' period with those people for 2 years and now reality is setting in. A is always saying how grateful she is to have friends who understand how she's like... I'm just struggling with it because it's just so different from me (I'm a planner, always on time, I expect people to be reliable etc. Opposite of her). We do have a great time when we get together, maybe I just have to accept that it's not going to happen a lot anymore (also my daughter isn't as close to theirs anymore, and has matured quite a bit).

    It's just so lonely sometimes (my husband listens, but he also drives me completely nuts about other things and I feel like there's nobody I can talk to about it - my doctor referred me to a psychologist though, if I can ever find time to go between school and kid activities).

    Anyway, again, thanks for the replies. I'm going back to school next week and hopefully it will keep me busy enough that I won't have to think about this too much anymore.
