another friend rant:

marriedsisterofbride

I have been friends with this girl since high school. She is currently single and does not have any children. She is well educated and very book smart, not very smart when it comes to men. I have been listening to her ranting and raving these guys she has dated for over 2 years, they are all about 10 years younger then us.

This is besides the point.

We live in a fairly small community, and we were really close friends. We would talk daily until later in my pregnancy and things started getting hectic. I still always considered her very close to me and love her like a sister. Right now my LO is 2 1/2 months old and she still has not made it to visit her. I am pretty upset about this because I always assumed we were close friends. I didn't expect her to spend the day or even hours at my house but I would have loved for her to make a ten minute visit when she had the chance. I know people have a lot going on in their lives but we are 35 years old and she makes going bar hopping with kids a priority over everything else. I guess I am just a little hurt by it.

awe,  I'm sorry. I have a friend like this too. We had been friends since middle school and got really close during our college years. Since then she has turned to me as a friend of convenience. When she wants people out for her birthday or needs something she suddenly contacts me. She was going to be my MOH and now she's not. I just take it as it is.

My BIL has done the same thing. Everyone but him has come to see the baby. He hasn't even made a phone call to say hi since she was born. DF is pretty upset with him.
