My Friend's Response to Telling Her I'm PG...

SDKelli

"Damn Girl! Better you than me!"

Granted this was over Facebook, but still...no congratulations or anything? I guess not everyone is happy for others during their happy times. She didn't come to my wedding either! Oh well, at least now I know....

She does not sound like a very good friend to me...?

I'm assuming she was joking, right? That's an odd reaction to have if not.

Sad thing is I used to consider her one of my good friends too. There's been other incidents where I should have just wrote her off but never did. With the wedding thing, I was ok with because she lives kinda far away, but with this I think I have learned my lesson!

when I first told my BFF (like 2 days after I found out), she said:  "well, its still early".

gee thanks.

I've gotten a few weird responses, too. One of my good friends said, "just don't turn into one of those women that can only talk about pregnancy." No congrats, nothing. I don't expect everyone to be falling off their chair or jumping up and down, but a simple congrats is usually customary.

Wow..that stinks..not that it makes her response any better but maybe she made that remark not knowing that the baby was planned and figured that it was an "oops im pregnant" situation???

You ladies in 1st tri need to stop worrying about the responses from friends.  There is a post about this all the time (if not every day) and its sad really.  Some people can be total douchebags...others just suffer from diarrhea mouth.

I didn't see us as freaking out over this stuff. I just see it as sharing stories, experiences and, occasionally, hurt feelings. There doesn't have to be a purpose.

It sounds to me like she was just kidding. 

And seriously, I wouldn't judge an entire friendship off one Facebook comment.

That's a really bizarre response!

If she was not kidding, then that should tell you a lot about your friendship.

I think she has a pretty good sense of humor.

Umm...hello, I would not be considering her a friend!

That doesnt sound like a friend to me! Well...i dont know you, but i am thrilled you're blessed with having a baby! most people it seems give those kinds of answers because deep down inside i think they want the same and cant have it. Just be Blessed you're going to be a mommy and kick the no good trash talking Biatches to the curb.

Maybe not the most sensitive comment in the world, but things are different if you're one of those people that can really NOT picture having kids.  Trust me, I was one of those people.  When my best friend told me (she was the first one to get pg in my group, i'm second), I was thinking that I may lose her as a friend.  Not because of me, but because of what happens to some people when they get busy with a family, etc.

Although, I think I used a little more tact and told her congrats.

It's just upsetting when someone you considered a friend doesn't react the way you would expect. I know some people can be DBs but I would think a real friend would be happy for me. It's just one more thing to add to the list of sh!tty things she has done to me,  so that's why I am pretty sure I am done with her.
