See what you think?
I have several what you would call close friends, one of whom I have asked to be DDs godparent (when we get around to having her christened) anyway my problem is with presents. Every year without fail I send them birthday presents and cards, now I do this because I want to not to get something back but it hurts when i don't even receive a card.
Last week was DD's first birthday and she received nothing from about 3 of my friends. This included her godmother who phoned a few days later and asked if she had a good birthday. A few of them have had 30th's recently including her godmother who had a party which I flew 400 miles to attend (with 9 month old DD) and bought a expensive present.
My 30th is next month and I would rather they sent DD a card than spend anything on me. None of these friends have children yet but I would fully expect to give their children Christmas and birthday presents.
One of my other friends who is in the same circle as them sent her a card and gift.
Does it sound like I am being really petty, I feel a bit used in that I always remember their birthdays go to the trouble of picking a nice gift and posting it to them yet they can't be bothered to send me or DD a card.
