I have an upcoming baby shower and I’m really excited. I invited my friends from college who don’t live far (except for one) and two of them can’t make it due to a wedding and other obligations which I totally understand but then one who lives like 15 minutes away just decided not to come and my other friend lives pretty far away as well so I get why she isn’t coming (although she made the drive to go to my other friends bridal shower with no problem but isn’t coming to the baby shower).

I don’t really care about gifts but just the principle of supporting me I guess is what irks me. They also didn’t like let me know and just ignored the invitations. They are still texting in our group chat like nothings wrong. I mean I don’t really mind but the least they can do is just let me know respectfully.

I would just be there in a heartbeat for them if they became pregnant and what not especially with this experience being so isolating. It’s just like watching your friends drop like flies. And also I guess no one really checks up on you either, at least not with me, which is also hard.

I’m a little annoyed but it’s not the end of the world. I just feel like I’m always there for my friends and they aren’t always there for me. I would always be the one to plan events like day trips to New York and camping trips, and it would always be me putting in the work, getting the food for the trips, etc etc. it was like pulling teeth with them but whatever I have a baby to focus on now so I don’t care
