Or is this just really bloody rude?!

So have five weeks left until my due date, and the friend we've asked to be Godmother has been nagging suggesting that I have a baby shower. I don't particularly want a bit fuss as am feeling rather fat and tired! but agreed that a "Pre-Parent Meal" with DP and my closest friends might be really nice. So I arranged and booked it yesterday for two weeks time, and sent text / facebook invitations out to those we want there.

Slight back story - my secondary school friends buggered off when I got my scholarship to sixth form, then were very bitchy when I got ill (have ME), ruined my birthday party this year (I invited them to be friendly although they never invite me out - they sat there complaining there was no vodka and playing on my brothers Wii all day, didn't even wish me happy birthday), and called me an unsociable bitch when I said I wasn't going to go to see a comedian that I don't find funny - because its three days before my due date.

So anyway - I decided not to invite any of them to this meal, simply because I really can't be bothered. I logged onto facebook this morning just like normal, and one of this group has commented on the event post on my profile saying, "Hey hun, sorry but its X's birthday, don't think any of us are going to be able to make it". They weren't INVITED!!! I just think that is so rude and presumptuous. Am really quite annoyed!!

So am I being incredibly hormonal unreasonably, or is this just down right cheek?

tell them they weren't invited anyway, and delete them off your FB. Why do you need them on there? (note to self: must delete several useless 'friends' off fb)

well done for deleting 100 of them. like i said before, forget every one else and what they say. whats important now is your dp, your baby and you. now is when you find out who your real friends are.

a real friend will understand that you havent managed to phone them for 2 monts but when you do you will pick up from where you left off last time. a real friend will boost you up when you need it not kick you when your down. and finally a real friend will be there for you no matter what.

forget theese people and move on

sending you (rather un mn) huggs

concentrate on the 5 weeks you have left.

Yeah... There was two of them I did want to stay in touch with, because they haven't done all the shit I mentioned, and have been there for me, and I've just been explaining to one of them that I'm just sick of fair weather friends!

Wow, this turned into a mental sort out more than an AIBU didn't it?!?

Addicted stop with the count down fingers in ears

Well done, they sound really rude. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy and new baby - those last few weeks can feel very tough.

And I hope that the people you do want there can make it and that your meal is really lovely. (Do report back, please).
