She sent me a text telling me I was "touchy" last week and therefore "bound to be offended by any text I send". I hold up my hands to being in an angry mood last week as my mum, who is not old enough to die, is on her last legs with cancer. I'd never accuse a friend of being "prickly", if they had done something specific to annoy me, I'd tell them. She hasn't done so, even though I calmly replied to the text: "are you ok?"
Other things she has done which have annoyed me is coming to stay with her two small DCs over Xmas at my invitation and then staying in bed until after lunchtime (meaning I had 4 DCs to look after all morning, we are both single mums). When I asked her if she was unwell she said she hadn't slept well because our kittens were bothering her!
And the other thing has been to contact me in a panic saying her abusive ex had kept the DCs beyond what's allowed under their contact arrangements. It seemed to me he'd way overstepped the mark, from her account, so I advised call social services / police - anyway she then didn't update me on what happened until weeks later when she asked me if I had a copy of her court order as she'd forgotten what was in it in the first place.
I've also been finding it abit weird that this friend always buys me make-up or beauty products as presents, even without an occasion, I realize that sounds ungrateful but I clearly don't wear make-up so it's a bit odd!
I am under stress at the mo with my mum being so ill so I definitely don't feel I need this kind of friend, but I want to be sure I'm not just being over-sensitive / impulsive before I stop returning her calls etc.
