[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:33 You sound like one of those "friends" who only does things expecting an immediate return--like it's a financial transaction. A friendship is an organic things it can grow in fits and starts and then slow to a crawl. Your friend has a new baby--you can post on Facebook without much emotional entanglement--texting sometimes requires that you stop what you are doing and have to respond right away--with a baby--not always possible! Visiting a friend that lives 30 MINUTES AWAY? ok, well I live in DC and I could be very far away in 30 minutes. You sound really high maintenance. Your friend could have a lot going on that she's not willing to share, even with the person who gave her a shower. [/quote]

I am not this PP, but did you just really make the argument that texting someone is an onerous emotional entanglement? You don't have to stop what you are doing to text.  There is no time limit on texting.  If a person, even a person with a new baby, can't be bothered to punch a few keys on a smartphone over the course of a few weeks, you really do not need that friendship.  I am sick and tired of all the martyrs on here claiming that having a baby is a legitimate excuse for being a jackass. [/quote]
