Best friend didn’t say HMD

Ladies , I need feedback .

My very best friend who I talk to every single day didn’t call or text to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day, when I called her the next day I asked sarcastically was she dead or did anybody die . 🫠

She told me she was sick and down bad. ( I knew she was sick with a common cold) . I told her that’s no excuse; you don’t have the flu and you could’ve at least sent a text.

She said she didn’t text anybody, which I don’t care about that either.

For a second she thought I was joking and the conversation got heated and I eventually hung up on her .. I told her that’s rude, disrespectful, and a slap in the face . Etc .

When I say I’m so annoyed, she was so insensitive about it .

I know I’m not crazy, but give me your opinion ?

I support you but so many people have told me that they don’t wish a happy mothers day to people that are not their moms

My best friend of 20+ years didn't send me a HMD text because I'm not her mother. Expecting it is a bit much, and getting mad even after knowing she's feeling under the weather is worse. There are different kinds of friendships out there in the world, but personally I'm not getting into a tizzy over it all. She loves me and has her own mom and life to tend to without me getting petty over something like this.

The fact you started off being sarcastic and then berated her for 'having an excuse' and then chose to take it personally as if you were the only one excluded from a text, AND THEN hung up on her? I'm not calling you crazy, but I would say you sound like the rude one here. Hope y'all can find a way to resolve things, life's too short for this to be a thing that sets off the end of a friendship.

If she's sick and trying to recover then she doesn't need to message anyone! I understand your upset about not receiving a message but your not entitled to one from her or anybody. If the roles were reversed would you have sent anyone a text if your sick and just want rest or to left alone for the day?

You are not her mother so why would she???

Understand you are hurt but I really don’t see that as her job to wish you a happy Mother’s Day? You aren’t her mother

she was sick and you’re not her mother. why do people expect hmd messages?

Avatar

But did you contact your sick friend? Did you call or txt her to start a conversation? Did you check in on her?
You literally said that you knew she was sick, maybe you should have gone to see her and bring her soup or something, you knew she was sick, your not her mom.
As a good friend, if my best friend didn't respond to me, I'd be going over to her house knowing she was sick, not getting pissy with her. 🤷‍♀️

Ok I see we have different expectations of best friends and it’s actually interesting to see this feed back ( you aren’t her mom 🤯) . I could never be any of y’all friends . I celebrate my best friends at any and every milestone all the way down to a job promotion I expect to be celebrated the same . It’s simple

She's not obligated to send you anything. Me and my best friend go days without talking but we're still there for each other. Sounds like your attached (in an unhealthy way) nd not allowing her space that she's allowed to have. So what if it's a cough and sneeze? Your not the one who has it so you can't say she's okay to do this or that. And who cares what she does with her day? Like girl you need to chill and stop over reacting. She can have a day without socializing with you or anyone doesn't matter because she shouldn't have to explain herself to you.

Oh my, but you sound self absorbed. She is sick and you're giving her a hard time about it. She has shown up for you all the other days off the year, and you're giving her a hard time when she's sick and missed a single day. I think to need to reevaluate your so called friendship, because it seems like you are not understanding of others circumstances.

You have the right to be annoyed but personally I don’t expect anyoneeee to say happy Mother’s Day to me except my husband (and my kids whenever they can talk lol). TBH when I’m sick, the last thing I’m thinking about is a friend, I’m thinking about how I can get better. If you guys talk every day and you say you celebrate each other, I wouldn’t feel hurt about a friend not reaching out while they’re ill

Weaning off breastfeeding- tell me your stories.

I want to hear from people who thought it was going to be impossible to wean their baby off the boob but who have now successfully done it.
How did you do it? 😂 I’m so done 13 months in. I go back to work soon and my little boy is all of a sudden just all on me. And feeding him- he just wants to pull my hair, stick his fingers up my nose, climb on me. I’m doneeeee, but feel like it’s impossible to wean him.

Siblings sharing a bed

What’s everyone’s view on sisters sharing a double bed with a 4-year age gap?

I’ve just had a baby girl, and we also have a stepdaughter and son who stay with us every other week. We’re looking at moving house, and the girls will be sharing a room. My stepdaughter has said she’d love a big bed so she can share with her little sister, and honestly I really love the idea because I want them to have as close a bond as possible — especially as they won’t be together every night since the older two aren’t with us full time.

I’m just curious what other people think about this and whether it’s something you’d do?

Mom Rage

I feel horrible because I just yelled at my almost 3 year old daughter for being upset that I trimmed her hair. I’ve been struggling a lot lately with irritability, rage, and it’s just comes out mostly on my kids and husband since they’re the ones I’m around all the time. I am a full time mom, so I don’t know if the rage builds up from the duties and things that I do every day. I just feel like my irritability and rage are worsening. I just get so frustrated sometimes and end up screaming at everyone. My toddler tonight even tried to explain to me that she was upset because I cut her hair & honestly I didnt want to listen but now that everyone is sleep and the house is quiet the guilt is building. I don’t want her to have all these memories of me yelling at her but I’m sure she will… I just feel like there might be something more wrong with me than just stress, hormones…

I would appreciate any advice 😞

Nappy leaks

My little one is 8 months and is leaking through the night which is obviously causing him to wake. Any nappy recommendations? We’ve tried Rascals & Pampers premium. We’ve just sized up in Pampers premium hoping it’d help but he’s still leaking 😫
