[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing, it would make my kid sad not to have any safe candy when everyone else around them had a treat.  But the bigger realization would have been that the person I trusted had a lapse in judgement before they served the candy, then they could have had a lapse in judgment before they made the cake or ordered the pizza.  To say “oh well I forgot, but it’s OK because I forgot in a way that didn’t happen to lead to a disaster” is still scary.[/quote]

NP. But literally ANYONE can have a lapse in judgment. Including you. Including your child. Including your friends, or anyone else in the world. No one is ever going to be perfect. Anyone can forget anything at any time, so exactly how much self-flagellation should OP be doing when the parent themselves had a lapse in judgment by forgetting to remind her? It's not like an adequate amount of apologizing will magically render OP or anyone esle immune from forgetting another time. Thinking that you can be 100% reliable in everything is exactly how babies die in hot cars--it's the nature of the human brain and thinking something is foolproof or you will never forget is the biggest lapse in judgment of all.

So, OP can have a lapse in judgement but OP’s friend who sent one text doesn’t have the right to feel scared and have that tone come across in a text?   OP wasn’t sued or even yelled at.  They certainly weren’t flagellated.  They got one strongly worded text.[/quote]

That’s fine in the moment but I would likely expect an apology for overreacting the next time I saw her. And if she continued to give me attitude that would the friendship done with.[/quote]
