Am I silly for being upset?

Funnily enough smiler thing happened to me , we werent expecting a gift or card ( because thats not my thing either) but was puzzled that after i sent a text with a pic of my very new born grandson i didnt get a text back saying congrats or anything , in fact didnt hear anything from her for weeks . So i get how you find it upsetting , especially if seems she is favouring one daughter over the other
Some posters have given you a hard time , but i can see its not about the gift , to you it seems as tho she doesnt care about you
Try not to let it get to you ,
thanks, you are 100% right it is nothing to do with the gift its that she has not acknowledged it and she is a person who buys cards etc for everyone, she would buy the postmans uncles dog a card if she thought it was his birthday, she is a very generous lady, and that is what i find upsetting not the actual gift/card0 -
Is your friend spitful? Does she snub people she doesnt like? I get the impression she isnt like that, especailly if she is as generous as you are making her sound like. Therefore, i think you should give her the benefit of the doubt. Think positively about your friend and assume there is a perfectly good reason you havent heard anything and move on. I persoanlly dont think its worth the heartache.
Though, if you really think it will keep on bothering you then i do support being honest with your friend and maybe give her call and ask if she has heard about the amazing news? I cant remmber if you said if you had spoken to her at all since the birth and she didnt say congrats or you hadnt heard a peep from her about anything?0
