To be pissed off at gloating childless friend??

[lill72]

So caught up with a friend who has chosen to have no children but after I sort if told her a bit about my stress with my DC and lack of sleep Im getting etc, she proceeded to tell me how she has lots of time, is not stressed, is financially fine and has her health..Basically life is good. Oh and she goes on about her trip to here a d trip to thete and how good it was.

Whilst I don't begrudge anyone any of the above, I guess maybe a little sensitivity is required perhaps when I've just been telling her I've been having a shit time for a variety of reasons and that life is tough at the ment with two young kids?

I just feel she is a bit socially inept and a bit of self effacing behaviour would go a long way..I feel im.very sensitive to this type of stuff - ie I won't bang on.about a holiday when I know a friend can't afford to go on.one. I'll wait to be be asked about it and then give minimal detail. If another friend has too been on holiday we discuss it more.

This gloating especially about money gets me. Her partner earns a lot so she is costing away and just gloats.

Does she just have no.idea of how others may live or is she socially inept? I really don't know where to go from here...

YOU SHOULDNY HAVE POSTED ON AIBU

Disagree with Shatner. You're getting vile posts bcs one poster started being vile and the rest piled in. Bcs that's how it often goes on AIBU. No thought, just follow the crowd and put the boot in bcs it feels kinda good to bully someone. Or something.

You have presented a perfectly ordinary predicament and posters have chosen to take issue and are picking you apart. Just bcs

Don't post here again with a sensitive subject. Stop posting here or defending yourself, it's blood to a shark. You get the picture.

lill72 - you have said your "friend" has spent time in foster care and her partner was abused as a child. It seems odd you should wonder if she has no idea how others live, as she has clearly weathered many hardships in her life. If she comes across as hard, that may just be what was necessary for her to survive. In all honesty, whilst you have stated many times on this thread how empathetic you are and what a great friend you are, I have not seen evidence of this in your posts. The only person you have had anything nice to say about is yourself. This is understandable if you are feeling down at the moment, but I don't really understand why you wanted to post about it on AIBU. I think, perhaps, you are just not compatible as friends and you could just admit to that without trying to lay all the blame for that at her door!!
