I always seem to have wacky friends that constantly anger me with their craziness.
I am not talking about this in a joking manner.
My mom can vouch for how many times I would come home when I was younger saying "I am so irritated with XYZ" and my mom would say "You are always irritated with XYZ"
I really don't think I am crazy either...I think I somehow manage to find and keep wack-job friends.
I feel like one of those lame women who get beat up by their boyfriends and ask "Why do I keep finding men that do this to me?" or they stay with the guy because "they love him"
Anyway, I am so sick of the nonsense. I REALLY should not have to have a 2 hour thought process before I can return X's phone call. When my phone rings I should not have to check caller ID to see if I am "prepped" to answer the phone call....
And yet, she has been my friend for quite awhile and I like her in some aspects....
The problem with her is she is SO good at being a bitch, it is *almost* disguised...so when you call her on it, she will act offended that you would even think that she would act that way! How dare I?
Exhibit A:
X: "Any ideas what you are going to name your baby?"
Me "My 1st choice for a name is Farrah"
X: "That is nice!!!! If you want every person that knows her name asking you about Farrah Faucett. But it is a nice name.
Me: "But I am also thinking about Harlee", ignoring the above
X: "Like the motorcycle?"
Me: "Exactly! But I am going to spell it with a lee on the end, rather than ley."
X: "That is cute. Maybe with that spelling you should use a lowercase h and a capital A as well to make it really fun"
Me: "I wanted it to look more like "lee" because that is my middle name"
X: "Cute"
Exhibit B:
After giving birth I responded to a few texts I got wishing us well. I sent to about 9 or 10 people her name, weight, and that we were healthy and well. Everyone responded to my text with a simple congrats! But this is what I get from her:
"Can you believe you are the mother of 2? Mother of 4 really...wow. Congrats!"
No kidding?! I have 4 kids? Let me panic about that...that thought never occured to me the 9 months I spent pregnant with the 4th?!?!?!?! Holy crap!
Needless to say, EVERY conversation I have with her is filled with attempted digs where I am supposed to, I think, leave feeling insecure or something - which does not happen, but I leave feeling irritated that I put myself through that, once again.
Do you break up with friends?

If I was in your shoes I would just accept her as she is and take what she says with a grain of salt. Maybe don't hang out with her as much if she makes you feel crappy.
oops, that's my hubs blogger ID, sorry it's Liz
