[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree with PPs that it's bad form, and odd.

I also think (assuming she is childless) that she just doesn't get it that her presence was so important to you.

She might have even forgotten about the event, and now is embarrassed.

Also, again, assuming she doesn't have a kid, friendships change a lot when one couple starts having kids and one doesn't.  Some friendships don't make it, some do but go through a period of distance for a while.  Your focus is so different than it used to be, pre-kid, that sometimes for those without a child, it's really boring to have to deal with your focus on your kid.  ("your" used generically here; not to mean YOU specifically)

One other thing:  (ok I'm reaching here) if she's wanted to have kids but hasn't, it may be hard for her to go to your DDs party.[/quote]

She doesn't have kids because she is concentrated on her career at this point and wants to wait until she can afford to take a whole year off. Yes, our friendship changed a lot after I had a child. Instead of seeing each other every other weekend, we now meet every couple of months because of crazy schedules. I should say used to meet.

How can someone forget about a friend's event if you talked to your friend a couple of days before the event confirming you would come?Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't make sense.[/quote]

It is time to let this go.[/quote]
