Ok I am not going to rule out that I am a pretty sensitive person and sometimes I take offence way too easily but I am starting to think that I am going to draw a line under friendships as they just seem to take up so much energy and are way too much like hard work. I have to say that sometimes I think woman definetly are "bitches" and just downright catty and I just dont think I have the energy for it anymore with 3 young children. Is it crazy to think I could survive without girlfriends and just have acquaintances and instead focus my energies on my kiddos.
My recent experience was with a close friend who felt it necessary to tear apart my 5 year old on an outing by constantly telling him off for being "naughty" before I could even get a word in! He was so upset that on the way home asked me if she hated him! I never said a word till she texted me later in the day to say I should come over for a play. I said I wasnt sure since my DS seemed to irritate her today. She got all angry with me and now we are at loggerheads. It is making it so uncomfortable as we share the same circle of friends.
I think I am so done with friends!!!
