[quote=Anonymous]DD has had same bestie since kindergarten- they are now tweens. Besties mom was diagnosed with early stage cancer a few years ago. She is in remission and doing well. Problem is ever since she has used her diagnosis as an excuse to never host, like ever. She has always said she has to “prioritize herself and lower her stress.” Totally get it but it’s now been YEARS….its been years of never inviting my child to anything, never has her over, no sleepovers at their house, nothing. So for the past two years, I have picked up her child, taking her places paid for everything, had her for countless sleepovers, I’m the one always suggesting fun things they can do, facilitating activities or the meeting somewhere neutral. I adore her child and I don’t want my daughter to suffer from not seeing her best friend because of the mom’s lack of effort. To make matters worse, she does not want me to tell my daughter her diagnosis, which I have always honored. So I can’t even give my daughter a reason why there is no reciprocation from her best friend’s family to invite her to anything.  I feel like I’ve waited it out long enough, and I think I need to say something for the sake of my child just feeling straight up slighted at this point. 
I’m close with the mom but have become less close to her through this process while I’m just giving her space to “prioritize herself and lower her stress.”
How would you all proceed? [/quote]
