First time posting but always love reading the threads and come on a lot for tips on subjects etc.
So, here goes.
I have a good few friends and one of these are relatively new (3-4 years). we can spend up to two hours on the phone at a time, we talk about anything and everything and to be honest that's the bulk of our contact. I've invited her around a lot and she never comes, even to events and nights out (just us two) and she will always say yes and then makes excuses last minute!
So anyhow! Her birthday wasn't long ago, I called to say happy birthday etc and it was bought to my attention that no one has bothered, not even a card from mother etc. That evening I went out, I spent quite a lot on flowers, perfume, chocolates and other small bits. I took them to her home and she was so chuffed.
Now, I must add that I do not give to receive! I'm generally generous and it's not the first time I've done this. (There was another occasion when she was feeling down and out and me being me went round with flowers and chocolates in a bid to cheer her up).
So.... Along comes my birthday (she knew for sure before anyone says she may have forgotten) I am certain of this for various reasons).
I did not even get a call or text from her and feel she is avoiding me now. Nothing has happened, I had spoken to her a couple of days before my birthday etc. I really would love to say something but not sure if I'm being unreasonable or would then create an issue and make us feel uncomfortable (another mum at the school).
AUBU to be angry/upset/disappointed?
