[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a total blow off, right?

Friends are trying to get together and one friend basically said she is never available. Can’t offer one date for the rest of 2025. She has 3 kids as do I. We all have 2-3 kids.[/quote]

Option 1: She doesn’t want to hang out with you.

Option 2: She has stuff going on that she doesn’t want to discuss with you. Possibly one of her kids has special [b]needs that she is busy with.

Either way, not really your friend.[/b][/quote]

I have a special needs child who takes up huge amounts of time and attention. Just because I’m busy doesn’t mean I’m “not really your friend.” That’s incredibly offensive.[/quote]

I had to realize that about myself and it was a hard truth to swallow. When I was in the thick of it with my kid, the people I let in were my friends. Even if it was five minutes of texting in between appointments. The people I never let in, weren’t my friends. They were acquaintances.

There are differences between relationships that have long periods of comfortable silence and those where all attempts at meaningful contact come from one party.

This woman never has time for OP.
