Okay this may be sour grapes, but I'm a bit upset with my 2 closest friends and I need to vent.
I had knee surgery 4 weeks ago today. I've had to keep my weight off the leg and really havn't been able to do much. Thank goodness my computer was moved to a cart next to my bed so I can still get my DD's school work done and dis.
Anyway of my 2 close friends only 1 cared enough to bring me a meal during the first week. 2 weeks after surgery we managed to go out the 3 of us to dinner, but I ended up in a lot of pain trying to get in and out of the car. The thing is they don't bother to call and just say Hi How are you? One of them said oh I'll come by one the weekend and help clean your house (I've helped her out this way in the past) but she never showed. So I'm stuck at home except when my DH (He's been doing everything laundry, cooking, cleaning) takes me out. DH even takes me to physical therapy appointments. I do have to say I really love and appreciate everything my DH has done and is still doing.
But I just feel like my friends don't seem to care about me. Last year when my friends husband was sent to Iraq I was calling every other day or stopping by to make sure things were going okay. I helped keep the kids out of her hair. Took them to activities.
I guess I just give a lot to relationships and tend to expect others to give in return but it never seems to happen. Am I expecting to much?
