Really? REALLY?!

So we welcomed our little squishy on Tuesday night at 11:30pm after being in labor since 8:00 am. Obviously I was in no shape to be calling or texting people with the big news. I get a call Thursday from a "friend" (her friend card is in danger of being revoked at the moment) yelling at me for not telling her right away! Excuse me? I just had the longest, most difficult experience of my life and you're mad at me for not texting you? Then she goes off because I was induced. I'm sorry that I was more concerned about my daughter's health than your position on induction.

If I could have gotten my hands on her, she would have been right down the hall from me....in ICU.

In other news, my daughter is perfect! We're soooo happy!

  • Let it roll right off your shoulder and enjoy baby!
  • Congrats on your daughter! Some people only think about themselves. Sorry she's being like that.

    We didn't call or text anyone for several hours. If I had delivered late at night I probably wouldn't have called anyone until morning.
  • Don't let her steal a moment of your newborn joy.

  • Congrats and ignore all negativity right now. You don't need that.
  • Congratulations. It does not sound like she is worth having as a friend if she honestly thinks of herself and her opinions at this moment in your life. Enjoy your little one and don't think about her at all.

  • Congratulations!! Sorry you had to deal with the drama..
  • Congrats!!! Don't let her immaturity spoil your joy!


  • I'm gonna assume she doesn't have children?
  • Don't let her negativity spoil your moment with your girl! congrats, momma!
  • I'm gonna assume she doesn't have children?

    She has two! She had inductions with both! Unfortunately hers lead to c/s, but still!
  • Congrats on your sweet new LO. That's frustrating that she's being that way. But try to brush it off, you have to much to be happy about right now.
  • I could not believe how emotionally draining the whole process of welcoming baby into the world and recovering would be. I sent everyone happy "my water broke.. heading to the hospital texts" and as things went downhill I couldn't even think about looking at my phone. If she hasn't had a baby is try and cut her a little slack but if she has then she deserves to be smacked!
  • Honestly I would give her exactly 0 second thoughts. You just brought a life into this world! Celebrate and enjoy your baby! No room for negativity or drama.
  • Congrats! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that! She doesn't sound like a very good friend. My plan is that after our family has been notified and I'm ready for our visitors after the immediate family (grandparents/great grandparents ) has met with our baby boy, I or my fiancée will post on Facebook to invite others such as close friends to come as long as they call or text asking first. If not, they will all just show up in the waiting room if I post that I'm in labor and that's not something I want to happen. Congrats again on your blessing!
  • Wow what a self centered bitch, sorry for the language but seriously. When my two friends had their babies I was happy to even get a message letting me know on the day. I was like arg what are doing on your phone you just had a baby go look it, you can tell me tomorrow lol.
  • Yep, absolutely ridiculous and I agree with the above advice to not let her ruin your new squishy high. This is why when people have babies, I give them the gift of not being up in their business or "popping in". I can't believe she has kids and is being so demanding!

    Yea that whole "friend card getting revoked" thing would be crossing my mind too. What bullshit. She should 100% know how to speak to a woman who just gave birth, especially a
    friend who just gave birth. Talk about immaturity. People who are that self-involved have no place in my life. Big life events make you see people how they truly are and do some "house cleaning." 

    Let her wallow in her self righteous pity party. You focus on that beautiful baby you worked so hard for! Nothing else is more important :)
  • Wow with friends like that you don't need enemies!! I would put her on ignore until you have the time and energy to tell her what a selfish b!tch she is. I have a bunch of friends demanding to be updated as labour progresses and when the baby is born. Who do they think they are? DH will have 11 calls to make just to inform our parents and siblings. Friends might get a call or text at some point but they are at the bottom of the priority list.
