I don't normally post here because I have a nervous disposition, but this has been niggling away at me and I just want to know if my feelings are unreasonable or whether I should be upset...
So, one of my oldest friends recently had a baby boy, more or less a year younger than my DS. I try to see them both as often as I can, but as I work full time and have a young toddler on my hands it's not as easy as I'd like. Basically I'd made a duvet cover for my son in different patchwork fabric and stitched his name onto it - it's a bit higgledy piggledy but that's its charm, I posted a picture of it on Facebook and she said it was really lovely. So naturally I made her little boy one for Christmas - it only took me a few hours, but I took a long time choosing dinosaur and animal fabrics specifically because they match the theme of her nursery, so it was a well-thought out present. I even bought the duvet to go in it in case she didn't have one yet.
Anyway, we exchange gifts a few days before Christmas, and she got my DS a gorgeous little red hoodie with skull prints all over it (right up my street!) I sent her a text to say thanks so much, I love it, etc, and she texts back saying "Glad you like it. X's present will come in useful. Merry Christmas xxx"
... Am I being unreasonable to be a tiny bit upset she wasn't more grateful? She didn't even actually say thank you... To give some backstory, this is the same friend who refused a bag full of newborn baby clothes "because we'd prefer new, thank you", and when I gave her some of DS's baby toys (all in v good condition!) "I probably won't keep all of them, I can give some to next door." Erm no I'll take them back then thanks!!
