I’m sorry if you feel as though I am neglecting you because of my children. You have to understand I can’t be there for everyone all the time and at this particular moment I choose my children. That doesn’t mean I don’t think our friendship isn’t important.

I’m just really tired of you. You are so completely suffocating that I can’t even *think* about you without going into an anxiety attack. You’re selfish, ungrateful and merciless. I try my hardest to make a meaningful connection with you and once, just ONCE I “neglect” you and every good thing I have done with you and for you is forgotten in an instant and I have to try extra hard to get you to respond to me again.

Friendships are hard work – I understand that. However it’s not supposed to be a one-way street. I can’t just keep on giving and giving and not having my friendship acknowledged. I’m not even asking you to give back to me.

You are high-maintenance and I’m exhausted. I’ve convinced my husband to try to get through to you and while he sometimes manages to charm you, even he is getting sick of your never-ending demands. My children don’t want to have a bar of you and I admit that’s probably because of my attitude towards you lately.

So it’s with a heavy heart that I say:

.
Housework…..you’re dropped!
