my son has a lot of friends, most of which i have rarely seen. the other day he went to a childs birthday party where upon conclusion the other mother asked him is he's like to come over more. later that evening i called to thank her for inviting him but had to leave the thank you on her answering machine. during this time i had asked if they could set up another time to play but i stumbled over her childs name. i know this child is my sons best friend but i personally have not had much contact with the child. it is now 5 days later and she hasnt called to say anything. do you think she took it personally that i forgot her daughters name? maybe she felt that our children being best buds means i should keep her childs name straight, but my son doesnt mention this girl that often he just refers to her as "my friend". do you think i hurt her feelings? should i call and apologize again? (i apologized at that time too)

it's not unforgivable! maybe you should be honest with the mom of the kid and tell her that you don't know much about her daughter because your son doesn't even mention her name to you. it's not your fault. they're kids. you're son is probably too excited to share to you stories and moments he had with his new friend that he doesn't even have time to tell you her name. kids ARE like that. just apologize once more. you're doing the right thing. =)

I think everything will be fine and you should give the mom another call. If she is so touchy as to be offended by a simple thing that has already been apologized for, then she is not thinking of her child's happiness because obviously her daughter wanted to be friends with your child! ..I would give it another go- maybe say " Hi! This is the tongue-tied mom! Some of us are going to the park if you are over that way maybe you'd like to join us" That way they you know your child will have fun no matter what and nobody is dissing or dumping anyone. Hopefully both you moms will have a laugh together over it someday!
You sound like a thoughtful person and you deserve good friendships with sane and happy people - and so does your child..All the best to you both!

You've got it all backwards. The question should be, do you forgive him for his lying and his manipulation? He was writing love letters to a girl two weeks after you became engaged, but came up with a pretty stupid lie to cover that up, and it's kind of insulting to you that he thought you would buy it. Now he's saying he dropped out of college for two years because you broke off the engagement. People get dumped all the time, but they don't put their lives on hold for years. If he dropped out of school, it was because he was lazy or wasn't doing well in school, not because of you. It was just easier for him to use you as an excuse. If you had married him, he would have blamed you for everything and anything that went wrong in his life. How convenient for him to faint every time he's losing an argument. Does he put on a helmet when an argument starts to not go his way? It's up to you to decide if you want to forgive him. Just be thankful that you didn't waste too much time on him and that you still have your virginity.

No. I would call her again and ask if she received the first phone message. (You don't know what happened-somebody could have inadvertently canceled the message) And then give her the same message again. You didn't do anything wrong

i doubt she's insulted she mightn't have had time to get back to you, if you see her suggest a play date again

There are so many kids there, she probably forgot yours or your kid's name.
