So my best friend has been acting funny to me ever since I told her I couldn't watch her dog because I have a dog of my own to watch even though she told me she understands how uncomfortable I feel--she won't return my calls--she was rude to me at my house--and she has generally been avoiding me--even though what I did was the right thing--I couldn't even go to the mental health picnic because I didn't want to leave my dog alone since she has separation anxiety and I didn't have a sitter. I also didn't have a spot on the roster as all the spots for the mental health picnic trip were filled--so I couldn't go if I wanted to--and even if I could go--ur supposed to bring something and I wouldn't be able to bring anything. This is making me feel like she just wanted to use me to watch her dogs and doesn't really value our friendship.

She might be using you - or you could be blowing something small into really sad shit...

I don't know you well enough, but "friends" are not always giving and there for us.... doesn't mean you have to throw them away. Just don't watch her dog - if she was upset, she'd get over it... if it doesn't become so painful for you, that this gets, bigger and bigger and hurts you - but at the end of the day, who hurt you?

LOL, I find the answer is always ME! Playing it over in my head like a broken record! Feeling worse, every time I replay it..

Well, I am not sure I understood what you don't understand.............why do you think she is "using" you to watch her dogs? Isnt that what friends do? They do things for each other to help them out? Are you upset that you cant go so you think she is using you or is she using you because you cant go? Sorry, I am confused by the issue so I cant answer rationally.............xo

I guess she was annoyed when she came over things are cleared up now--but I don't see why she has to be annoyed about using cups instead of drinking out of the bottle. We don't do that around here. And It's not likeI could watch her dog--because I have my own dog--and leaving mine at home in her kennel to watch someone elses dog would be animal abuse. But I guess she is over it now.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
