My bestfriend has finished with me?

So iv been bestfriends with this girl since we where in year 5, we're now 21. Both have kids, I have 2, she has 1 and is pregnant. Iv been with my partner 8 years and her for 1 year.
Pretty much since she's been with her boyfriend iv seen maybe 3 times and is used be like 3 times a week. We still spoke ever day and had a good friendship, id always be asking to do things and she agreed but when it came to it she had an excuse not to.
I posted something on my Snapchat story about a nursery that had some abuse in it with my caption been "and people wonder *DS isn't in nursery yet". Obviously not aimed at anyway one.
Anyway she messages me going on about how I'm penalising her for putting her DS in nursery from a young age and how my kids are going to be to reliant on me, and how hurt she is that iv posted that.

I was so confused, so just told her that it wasn't aimed at anyone and I don't know why she's so upset about it. A couple of days after she messaged me saying she wants to end things between us and doesn't want end bad blood. I said yeah fine, sorry if I made you feel a type of way. Her boyfriend blocked me and my partner on everything after this and so did she except Instagram.
She was my only friend.
My partner just says I shouldn't let it bother me and that she was a crap friend to me anyway.
But does it sound like im in the wrong??

Plus you will look a fool if you ever need to use a nursery.

If there was no posting on social media , less texting and more talking none of this would have happened. Stop messaging

I didn't see your comment as PA. You've touched a nerve with the pp and had the same response as your friend gave.

I read your comment as about you not a judgement of others.

Then again I didn't put my children in a Nursery so I'm not touchy about it Wink

I didn't put mine in nursery, but still think the OP came across as sanctimonious and a bit dim. If have thought less of her for it, and probably wouldn't want to hang out with her any more. 🤷

What are working parents meant to do?

Personally I'd also have ended a friendship on that basis, but quietly and with no drama. The language you're using sounds very immature, though perhaps you're quoting your friend.

AgentJohnson · 28/11/2019 15:32

I think the comment was crass but your friend was looking for a way to end your friendship and this opportunity afforded her the added bonus of casting herself as the victim.

We never used childcare and never would have considered it FOR US, but I would never judge or make comments at those who do. We all do what we need to in order to get by and some people I know use childcare when they don't even work just to give themselves a break and their children some social/play time, etc. Each to their own.

I wouldn't be friends with someone who posted such silly things on social media to be honest, you just make yourself look stupid.
