How to deal with ex best friend on social media

I have a best friend who recently just stopped being friends with me after I had a baby. Turns out she’s an overt narcissist and thinks she’s too good to be friends with a stay at home mom now. She went on vacation to visit my city, didn’t reach out, and when confronted she said she was busy. I live in vegas, so too busy drinking and eating. She’s letting me know she does not want to be friends anymore without saying it. Boasted online too about her vacation.

Should I delete her from social media or keep as a friend online? What would you do? I don’t want to see her posts but know deleting can cause even more drama. Or show my happy life and not care? Please any advice on how to deal with unsupportive ex friends after being a new mom

I would just block, delete, move on and don’t give it anymore head space.

Why would you wanna keep the narcissistic energy around? She doesn’t wanna be your friend so find better for yourself. You don’t have to “deal” with them. If your “friends” are no longer your friend bc you had a kid, they weren’t good friends to begin with.

Just delete or block her. You said she is a narcissist so there’s your answer.

I agree. Just delete. I have had friends like that also. I made the effort to be friends and they don't give me the time of day. Time to move on. By the way I'll be friends with y'all. I'm from Oregon long distant friends are welcome. I love to learn about all states. Parenting tips and advice is welcome.

Yes same thing happened to me except she wasn't a narcissist just extremely insecure. As soon as I realized she will never change I dropped her and never looked back. You dont need quantity you just need solid people who care about you and will be there for you no matter what. It's extremely hard to find these types of friends so I'm not surprised what you're going through but I feel for you. Be strong!

Block and move on

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
