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 ?

Yeah im with you! This was my first mothers day and its been hard. One of my closest friends didnt text me either i feel sad about it. I was kinda shocked more people in my life didnt text me hmd or havent checked in on me ... i have a 2 month old

Did you txt or call her?
It is a 2 way street... 🤷♀️

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?

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
