Why is it so hard to make mom friends?

A little back story, I have lost 1 best friend when I was engaged and another best friend when my first child was born. My child is now 1 1/2 years and I have been joining local mom groups to make friends and have play dates. I have been participating in 2-3 playdates per week for about 3 months (about the same as several other moms as this is a new group). I have added some of the moms as friends on fb mainly to remember names, but the main admin of the group has refused to add me as a friend. Our children are only 1 day apart and we talk frequently, sit together in groups, and thought we were getting along fine. I found out through fb posts that one of the moms (whom I am friends on fb) had a bday party for her kid. It looks like all the usual moms/kids that show up frequently were invited. Not me though. It’s really hitting my self esteem hard and I’m not sure how to handle the rejection.

I wish I knew why it was so hard. I'm trying to have a birthday party for my oldest and none of the people I thought where my friends have even said anything. I mean I get if you can't come but at least say something to me. It just hurts that I can't make any friends.

Mom life is super lonely unfortunately 😕

We just moved here but even in my old state I didn't have many mom friends. So I know the feeling. I don't have any friends here and only 1 person came to my daughter's birthday party. It sucks sometimes

What state do you live in? I’ve been feeling very alone too

We moved from Florida to Oklahoma in December

Awwww I was hoping you were here in California 🥺

Where are you located?! I’ll be your friend! (I need one too! Lol!)
