Aibu because I think I upset my friend

[veanirweather]

I’m very close to my due date and friend checks in every other day to ask how I am or she’ll say I’m definitely in labour etc

She rang me to check in and said promise you’ll message me when baby is here and I said obviously, it’s not like you’d give me much choice not to and she went a bit quiet and said she’d rather a friend who checked in and was excited about the baby then one who doesn’t care but she’ll take what I said onboard and won’t message and will wait for an update.

I felt bad and I’ve messaged her like normal since and she has responded normally but not her usual self.

You’re not unreasonable. It’s so irritating being pestered, especially by someone who leaps to conclusions if you don’t drop everything for them. This is not about her, you’re about to have a baby, you’re bound to busy and anxious. She’s making it about her by playing a victim because you pointed out, wryly, what she was doing.
