To think this response was a bit crap re Mother’s Day?

[Shania7788]

Or am I being sensitive?

Conversation with friend of a friend in front of her new boyfriend
‘Hey Shania, what are you doing for Mother’s Day?’
’I’m just working’
‘That’s depressing’
’Oh err well my mum is dead’
’That’s depressing too’

I’ve known her about three years and see her about once a month so obviously thought she already knew.
AIBU to think this isn’t a very nice response? Or am I being too sensitive as it’s a sad day? Yes obviously it is depressing, but I wouldn’t be impressed if a friend or partner said something so blunt to someone else.

So as not to drip feed, earlier in the evening we’d taken a photo that had caught me making a funny face. She kept zooming in on me and laughing then zooming in on herself and saying how cute she looked. So maybe I was already feeling weird because I thought that was a bit strange/rude

She sounds horrid
I am usually pretty tolerant of people accidentally saying the wrong thing because I do it a lot....probably ASD.
But what you have described sounds like bullying to be honest

I am assuming you don't have children? And she is pretty young?
We're other people.there - if she is just a FoaF?

No I don’t have children and we are around the same age, early 30s. It was just us two and her boyfriend at the time of the conversation.

She’s been single for the whole time I’ve known her until recently so maybe it’s something to do with that? (I’m currently single). She’s usually very nice but I came home feeling a bit down about the interaction

How has she not remembered your mum is dead? I'd ditch her

Exactly - if you've been friends for 3 years how did she not know this!

In any case she sounds like a right tit, I would dial back on the friendship.

I am sorry for your loss OP, I hope you get through the day ok.

Thank you ❤️
I guess it doesn’t really come up much in conversation but it’s something I’d remember about a friend and/or have a sympathetic response to. I think you’re right and I should try to hang out with our mutual friend without her

She sounds like a complete moron - perhaps stupid rather than really unpleasant but get rid of her.

She sounds a bit of an imbecile, tbh. Would you miss her if she disappeared from your life?

She sounds like an unusually thick-skinned and insensitive twelve year old. I would be distancing myself. Life is too short for friends like that.

I am 53 childless and my own mother has passed away. I am not sensitive about mother's day generally, but no I would not appreciate a friend asking me what I was doing on Mother's Day when quite clearly it has no meaning to me. I cannot understand why she did that, it is weird.

I feel like getting a boyfriend has made her kind of cocky in a way, it’s a bit weird. No I wouldn’t tbh, I think it would just make things a bit awkward for the mutual friend
