Quick rant about my insensitive friend

I was talking to my friend on the phone today. She asked me what we were going to do the weekend - I said swimming - she said "Watch dd2!" and laughed as if it was a joke - she was alluding to dd2's recent accident where she scaleded herself with hot tea at the leisure centre. Then she asked me how dd2 was. I said - fine, healing well. She said she knew another child who had done the same thing and still had white marks left where it happened. I said I didn't think this was going to happen, as the skin is pink now and looks as if the pink is just going to fade. She then said that the pink might still turn into white and leave lasting marks! Followed by "Oh, but I don't want to worry or anything."
FFS!!!!!!!!! How insensitive can you get? I really don't know why I'm friends with this woman sometimes!

some people are just that way, don't take it too personally. sorry to sound so clinical abt it, but her friendship is most likely to have some benfit in some way( emapthy and sympathy might just not be it).
don't loose your head with her. i've been told to use a technique called put in the drawer for tomorrow. when angry, mentally put the matter in a drawer in my mind, and re-examine the next day. you might not find it so annoying.
just for the record, pink skin will almost never turn white again, so don't worry abt dd2 scarring.
