Friends after baby
What do you do when you've been friends with someone for 15 years. You have a child, and that person is always asking you to adjust you and your babies schedule to fit theirs. She was never there for me post partum. She's supposed to be my "best friend". Do I just cut a loss and move on? It seems hard with so much history. I find myself feeling hurt and disgusted more often than not with her these days. I've had a conversation with her about how I feel, and yet things remain the same.
She is my only "friend" here. Even though I've seen her all of maybe 4 times since I had my son, each time adjusted to fit her needs. She never responds to pictures of my son and that hurts me.. I have no one else near me. No family and no other friends. It's hard, idk what to do.

Yes exactly what she said 👆🏼
I agree I wouldn’t cut her off but stop putting in the effort to make plans. If she wants to be apart of your life she will step up. I have been the person on both sides of this situation when I didn’t have a child I didn’t understand, I wasn’t there for my friends the way I now know I should have. Once I had my son I also lost friends because of the same situation, it caused me to be a better support person for the new friends I eventually found.

If you've already talked to her about how you feel and she's put no effort on her part to fix it, then I'd stop trying. I probably wouldn't cut her off if there isn't any bad blood or issues, I would just stop reaching out, and if she reaches out in the future to rekindle, take it from there.
