My friend I met at antenatal class 4 years ago has become my best friend and our boys are also best mates. We spent everyday of Mat leave together and have remained really close texting everyday and meeting as much as we can. The other day she texted me to say her son is having a joint birthday party with another mutual friend because they live so close there children go to nursery together, so have a lot of mutual friends! My friend texted me saying obviously my son would be a VIP and the one they want there the most.
Then a few days later got I message saying they had booked the bday party on my sons actual birthday and she's knows it's my sons birthday but we were still welcome to come. How would I explain to my son it's your birthday but we are going to someone else's party and you don't get a party on his actual birthday? (We decided not to do a party this year) I feel by booking a party on my sons birthday she has excluded us when we are meant to be best mates. I feel she has be selfish and not really thought about how this might make me and my son feel.
Just feel hurt and not sure she is the friend I thought she was. Am I right to feel this way?
