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.

It isn’t that I’m mean and nasty although after reading this post you will undoubtedly believe it to be so. I’ve twice this week been the recipient of some drive-by mothering so at least I have some excuse for being so darn crabby.

First off, lady I don’t need you to tell me my son’s gash on his eye looks bad. I don’t need you to tell me he needs stitches or steri-strips and aloe vera and OH MY GOD IT’S GOING TO SCAR and WHY ON EARTH DIDN’T YOU GO TO SEE YOUR FATHER?

Ok and other lady – I know how to carry my child. I know I should be gentle. I know him well enough to know if I jingle my car keys while I’m carrying him he isn’t going to wake up SCREAMING and even if he did wake up because the blasted key jingled then so what?

Ugh.

I know they’re a little bit older and they deserve respect for being elders so I bit my tongue & agreed with everything they said which made me out to be a completely incompetent parent when I know myself I’m only HALF incompetent.

Thanks a lot, ladies.
