Message from a friend

So friend A received the following message from friend B today. Friend A thinks friend B is being U and wants to cut all contact. We are a very close group (or so I thought) and a falling out would be awful.

I was just wondering about opinions on whether the text message is U. Trying to think of ways to help A repair damage to B and B to A.
“After 6 yrs of pushing your children on me. Sending endless messages and unsolicited shopping lists for birthday presents, you cannot send a card to my child? I am so bored of having to listen to how amazing your children are with no acknowledgment from you that others (me) also think their children are amazing! I’m fucking done! “

Yeah there’s not saving that. You might of enjoyed it but sounds like Friend B has hated every second of it.

Just to say: we only have Friend B's word about Friend A's behaviour. She may be right that A is a total user; she may be someone who sends totally exaggerated or untrue accusations whenever she is in a bad mood or doesn't get her own way; it may be somewhere in between.

At any rate, the OP would be strongly advised to stay out of it. She could try to see A and B separately to maintain the friendships, and refuse to enter into discussions about the matter, as it is for A and B to sort out. Maybe they even will!

The OP said B is right about A and has been on the receiving end of similar.

Sounds like A needed to hear some home truths anyway!

I don't think the OP is U to be upset. DH's acknowledged that friend B's anger against friend A is justified, as friend A has treated her in the same way.

I agree with PPs that you should stay out of it, OP.

I once had a friend I met through another friend, all good. New friend fell out with old friend, Christ knows why, and she used to get funny when I went to visit original friend. (They were neighbours so she knew if I was there as she saw my car).
I'm still friends with original friend, haven't seen new friend for years.

That's not easily going to be fixed! You're right to keep your head down.
