Asked a friend a personal question about having a child but no response?

This is a FB one - I've got a mutual friend - not that close but we used to see each other a lot as have or had a good friend of mine in common.

We're friends on FB but not seen each other for years - she posted one of those banner quotes and it was something like 'I said this to my 5 year old and blah blah blah something to do like Trump said'.

I put a comment under it saying 'Oh I didn't realise you had a 5 year old' - no comment back - she has a photo of her with a young child about 5 who could be her DD.

I messaged her to say I was sorry if I embarassed her by asking but again no reply.

I'm not really bothered if she has another child or not - not really my business - nothing about pregnancy on FB.

Should I just do an Elsa and let it go?!

I see. So it's obviously clear that she does indeed have a 5 year old then. Maybe she thought you were trying to catch her out with your comment or something.

Not clear to me - could be her grandchild.

She didn't tell me when I asked - of course she doesn't have to tell me anything at all. I am just thinking what I would say, which is tell someone if they asked. But I can see my comment under her FB post might be a bit rude.

It's not weird she didn't announce her pregnancy on FB or put stuff about her child up. Doubt it a secret, perhaps she doesn't plaster her life on SM?. Either way it's literally none of your business, you're not friends. So I think you're the weird one. Don't blame her for not responding to you, in the way you want, about her child!
Yes, but that's the point, we 'were' friends and I thought quite good ones at one point.

either way none of my business agreed!

I'll unfriend her now I think

It’s not a big secret she just can’t be arsed replying to you. That’s it.

Hang on, did you comment “I didn’t know you had a 5 year old” AND directly message her asking if she had a 5yo? That’s a little intense if so

Notredamn · 21/08/2020 20:41

But you said that she wrote, '...my 5 year old...'

So you're thinking it could be a grandchild?! If someone says they have a 5 year old, then they have a 5 year old.
I'm baffled.

part of this stems from my ex friendship with our mutual close friend which ended really badly and full of drama - which I'm not proud of.

In my normal friendship groups I wouldn't be so intense etc.
