with a friend like this....

my 'supposed' best friend is always lecturing me and telling me what to do. she still lives at home with her mum and is 'doing things the right way' by waiting til she's older to have kids and get married.

well today i was feeling down that i can't do the job that i always wanted to do (working freelance in media) cause of the kids so i chatted to her on msn.

well she went on to tell me that she knew i shouldn't of married neil so young as i put too much pressure on him and i should of waited longer before having kids. i said i know that but i can't turn the clock back then she said 'well you should of learned to use contraception!'

what a cow! she is supposed to be my best friend and she always makes me feel like caca. whenever i'm broke she comes round and buys me loads of things then i feel like she has a tie over me (financial leverage)

it is awful. i cut off msn and said 'you really hurt my feelings'

i feel really down now Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

That doesn't sound like a friend at all. Anyone that would say "i told you so" didn't have your best intrest at heart to begin with. Many people say that I shouldn't have gotten married so early and that I'm to young to ttc. I think I have my stuff together, and it feels right for me. If they can except and support me for that. Then I don't need to bother with them.

She sounds jealous to me. When someone continually puts another person down like that it usually means, in my experience, that they are dissatisfied with their life in some way and it's only by making the other person feel small and foolish that they make themselves feel better. Very sad.

I'd drop her faster than a prostitute drops her knickers, mate.

I know how you feel about the job thing. I miss my job sometimes. But when I look at the overall picture, I'm glad I decided to stay at home and be a mommy. I'm lucky I had that option, because a lot of moms don't. I would also take the son and hubby that I love so much over a job any day.

She's probably just bitter and lonely. And she's no friend if she can't find the compassion to just listen to your feelings and offer a shoulder to cry on.
