Not for the first time he has returned home (not from work but from a bike ride- his hobby of choice) walked into the room having picked up DS (16mths) plonked him on sofa and failed to make eye contact or say hello to either of us and turned to walk out again. I said aren't you going to say hello then - and then he obliges. This isn't a first offence which is why it winds me up. This is a really good friend who we see as a couple (with her hubby) and they have been there for us at so many important times but he is so often plain rude - yet we had had a lovely day together so far and I don't understand the change in attitude. He claims it's nothing to do with friend but that he didn't notice he hadn't said hello, or other times he said he is tired, shy ... blah, blah. I am a basically shy person but its just bloody good manners to speak to people and look at them when doing so, especially when its someone you know really well. Anyway you'll probably think i'm being silly but i'm really mad about it as it keeps happening.
