Dropping friends?

[whynowblowwind]

I don't know.

I am/was friends with two ladies. Before having the babies I was a teacher, and I worked with them for two years. We got on very well. This was ten years ago and we've kept in touch: meeting for lunch school holidays mostly.

I had DD in April, and neither have sent a text, rang up or a message on Facebook.

Now the other thing is this. One friend is applying for roles in senior management and has been getting me to write her application letters (some people say I am good at this.) I've also helped them both a lot with marking.

The problem is I don't want to burn any bridges really, as I don't have a LOT of friends.

On the other hand I'm trying not to be a pushover.

How can I handle this situation?

Thanks, I'll try and look into that :)

YANBU. People who are friends enough to rely on you for a favour should be friends enough to congratulate you on the birth of your child. It's so easy today with texts/emails/FB etc.

I know how you feel OP, my friend of 12 years has excused me of being a thief behind my back, slagged off my new hobby and has completely dropped me, because a man has entered into her life.
