It's a small minor thing...first world. I have a friend we've known each other a few years. I know I'm being AIBU. But our DCs will be in the same year group. Anyway when the school did the whole welcome to the school intro I said 'why don't we go together?' She said no she's going with another friend. No biggie. Anyway so we didn't end up sitting near each other (no biggie once again I sat with other people I know well) if anything I wanted to support her cos her husband has just walked out on her which is totally shit! But he was a complete bastard. Anyway I didn't want her to think she's alone. Now and up to the start of school I've been getting loads of messages regarding the school (we've already been there a year and her DC is new to the school) about uniforms mainly. Which is fine I answer the questions. Anyway AIBU to be a bit offended that I wasn't good enough to go to the info evening with and I wasn't good enough to sit next too! However I'm good enough to answer questions! The questions always start 'quick quick answer this....' I know first world problem

I don't think the OP was actually quoting her 'quick quick answer this'. I think she was paraphrasing. Reading between the lines it was probably something more like, 'Hi! Quick question, when school say white socks does it matter if they have a stripe?' and she's interpreted this as 'quick quick answer this'

YABVU. Quite childish and a bit petty.

That's a bit unfair - I'm sure the OP is.

But this friend hasn't done anything wrong, and is allowed to spend time, and do things, with other people - friends, would-be-friends, acquaintances, whatever.

She doesn't have to do everything with the OP, just because the OP has been a good friend to her. Friendships don't work like that, and it doesn't necessarily mean this friend is being disloyal.

There's obviously a backstory which has prompted the OP to post, but this incident alone doesn't indicate anything bad.
