AIBU trying to maintain a friendship?

[Maggie178]

Had a lovely neighbour. We always chatted over the fence and her child would come round and play with my children. When they started school I offered to walk their child to school with mine on the one day I didn't work. Then I moved. I said I'd still be able to walk their child to school with mine as their house is on the way. So now I walk their child to school one day a week. But we don't really have contact any other time. If I message to ask about a catch up or a play date they don't even reply. I understand everyone's busy and she has some health issues but AIBU to give up on this friendship ?

Only you can decide if you want to put more effort into this or let it go... but it does sound like you are fond of her and, given her health issues, I'd perhaps be tempted to try again before bowing out gracefully. Maybe a more definitive invitation to go somewhere over half term - your treat (picnic in the park or something, doesn't have to be expensive) and if there is still radio silence then just let it go... Are you still walking her child to school? If so, verbally invite her to do something. You'll be able to judge her feelings much better that way.
