Am I being over sensitive???

[Comeinalready]

So this other lady and I have been 'friends ' for about 15 years now, not BFF's but definitely more than acquaintances. Meeting for occasional coffee, lunch, chatting on whatsapp etc. She has 3 children, i had my first almost 2 years ago. During my pregnancy we met a few times and she was checking in on me frequently. However when he husband abandoned her she cut everyone off, including members of her immediate family. I tried to reach out many times but gave up. A couple of weeks ago i made contact with her because i heard her mom has been ill with cancer. I can relate to this. While understand she's going through alot emotionally i feel a bit miffed because it really seems like she forgot I had a baby. She asked about my partner, career, life etc but honestly she's always been just a little self absorbed ( but who isn't LOL) so i kept saying how tired I am, busy, exhausted etc and she replied with, ' ya me too' but NOTHING about my child. She literally asked about everything else im my life and even other people like my siblings but not my child :( what's your take? She forgot, right?

I don't know why i said ' other lady' lol

Did you mention your child? How long ago did she split with her husband?

I'm quite horrified by your attitude. Your baby is the centre of your world, no one else's. You honestly want to make a conversation with a friend whose husband left her with three kids and whose mother is gravely ill all about you and your child? That really takes some beating.

Yes^^

I think you should cut her some slack since her mother has cancer. She may well have forgotten about your baby, but I think it’s reasonable under the circumstances.

Oh and you're not being over sensitive, you are being hideously insensitive! It's like you were trying to catch her out, mentioning you were tired, etc but not actually saying anything about your child. If you didn't why on earth would she?

You are being overly sensitive, why not just mention your child?

Is this a wind up?

You are horrible, she’s better off without you as a friend!

Her husband left her, now her mother has cancer. So she forget to ask after your child? What a bitch she is

Does it really matter if she has forgotten? She’s had plenty to distract her. Why not send her a picture of your child saying, ‘here’s the reason for my sleepless nights, hopefully you’ll meet before too long.’

Then continue to offer her any support you can.

Eh? Why wouldn't you just mention your child naturally as part of that conversation anyway? It seems like you just want to catch her out tbh.

Ok guys. Thanks. Got it.

This is a reverse, isn't it. I'm hoping so anyway.

It sounds like she may have forgotten but given that she has asked about your extended family and next doors cat she sounds far from selfish and actually quite the opposite especially given her circumstances.
I wouldn't worry about it, next time you speak you can just drop in what your child is up to maybe and jog her memory without embarrassing her and pointing out that it had slipped her mind.
It's not the end of the world.

Jesus. You’re the self-involved one. Is this a joke?

No one cares about your kid like you do. The woman has been through hell, by the sounds of it and so your rugrat will not be at the forefront of her mind. WTF would it be?
