Hi there, Melissa,
I hope this note finds you well! I felt compelled to reply to your numerous invitations regarding the upcoming ladies’ night at Chili’s. I apologize for not responding sooner—let’s just say I had a minor bee emergency that left me without a decent Wi-Fi connection.
Regrettably, I won’t be able to join you at Chili’s this week or at your “Candlelight Vibes” party next week, tempting as it sounds. And please count me out for Bunco and “Crafting with Creatures” too. (Did you really get the zoo’s approval for that?)
I think it’s time to be upfront: I’m not looking to become your mom friend. I know this might come as a shock given that our kids are pals, but let’s be real, they could be enemies by next week, so it’s probably best we don’t get too invested.
You might not often hear this as the go-to mom on the PTA, so I’ll break down my reasoning for you:
- Socializing Isn’t My Thing
You’re genuinely lovely, but I’m not a fan of mingling. I put on a brave face for work, but once I clock out, I prefer my own company—possibly in sweatpants and without a bra, enjoying a drink solo. - Small Talk Isn’t My Style
I know I sound like a recluse, but I can’t stand the standard questions that crop up when I’m around new moms. My husband’s job and my kids’ sports skills seem to be hot topics. Do we really care about my kid’s aversion to soccer after just meeting? - Extracurriculars Are Not My Thing
I’ve noticed your daughter, little Sophie, has an activity lined up every day. That’s not for me! The thought of shuttling my child around constantly and then complaining about exhaustion to others sounds like a nightmare. - I Already Have My Circle
While we often tell our kids that more friends are better, I prefer my tight-knit group. I have friends who would drop everything to help me in a pinch—no questions asked (and I truly mean no harm, Melissa, just illustrating my point). - Trust Issues Are Real
High school taught me a lot about women and drama. I’m a hot mess most days, but I steer clear of gossip. If you want to discuss someone’s bad haircut, count me out. - Friendship Should Be Easy
I’m open to new friendships, but they should grow organically. Being pushed to attend a ladies’ night feels like my own personal hell. - My True Friends Get Me
My close friends understand my quirks and still love me. They know when to call me out, whether it’s about my bad fashion choices or my emotional meltdowns.
So, I’m sorry, Melissa, but I won’t be joining your mom group. Honestly, you might not have enjoyed my company anyway!

Summary:
In this lighthearted note, I express my reluctance to join a group of moms, explaining my preference for solitude and existing friendships. I highlight my social anxieties and desire for genuine connections, ultimately conveying that I’m not interested in becoming part of a mom friend circle.
