to think other people would be happy for your child's success???

[unreasonablebut]

namechanger and not giving all details...

One of my DCs did exceptionally well at something at the weekend. Previous occasion friend's DC did better than mine, we all congratulated them , "well done" comments on FB etc etc. NOthing in return, other than accusations of unfair treatment of their child. Don't want to say more as would be easy to id both families but am now questioning friendship. We should all be happy when others do well, even if disappointed for our own. Sour grapes = human nature, but when it's from your closest friends I find it very hard. Sorry, just needed to vent and better on here than ruining a friendship.

oh gie it a rest now its you being arsey.dont drag rl detritus through mn

had some sympathy with your position but if you in turn cant accept her approach then you are being a bit of a tit too

didn't realise I was being, sorry. Will leave it at that then.

You wanted her to be gracious in accepting that your DC did better than hers. It is now your turn to be gracious to her message on FB.

Try to suck it up. If she is used to her DC doing better then it is a bit of a mental adjustment to cope with life being the other way round, never mind having to express pleasantries too! Surely your friendship is bigger than this?

fair comment senua.
