Ok well me and my friend had a math class in college together last semester and like we became friends with our teacher which is also a female (all of us our females)... anyway, the last day we all went out to eat and she told us to keep in touch and that she wanted go see us again and eat again soon. Well I have been the only one talking to her through email since the class is over. Our former teacher is married but doesn't have kids but pregnant with her first. We try to make plans with her and she agreed to go eat again but said we will have to go do the other plan on a later dat b/c she is on the day we wanted to go. Well.. my friend says we should stop trying to hang with her and talk to her b/c she is too hard of a person to make plans with.. but then again she dont even talk to her ever. Also.. she doesnt seem to understand that she is married and has other things she has to do. I dont agree with her and plan to continue the friendship. Do you think I am doing the right thing?

yes, i think if you try to continue the friendship, then you are doing the right thing. as long as your teacher friend seemed sincere about wanting to do things with you girls, like going out to eat and keeping in touch. i think most people wouldn't say it if they weren't sincere, so she probably is. anyway, well obviously most people are very busy. i'm sure between working, spending time with hubby, and all the maintenance of keeping a good house, plus teachers often bring work home, papers to grade and lessons to plan, and now getting ready for a baby. wow, she's got a full schedule. and it'll get worse with a baby too. but hopefully she will find time to do things with you guys, she deserves a break and you may have to remind her to come out and have some fun with you. your other friend who says forget about keeping in touch with the teacher may feel jealous or threatened by your new friendship with the teacher. she might want your friendship all to herself, without the teacher, you know how girls can be.

In this situation you are right. Keep trying to get together with the teacher but don't make it something you have to do. Every once in a while send her an email or call her.

Yes I do. Your right, being married she does have plenty to do. (not to mention being pregnant)
Continue the friendship - I am sure later on she will have more time to spend with you.

There is nothing wrong with staying friendly with her...assuming she isn't your instructor again.
And I wouldn't broadcast the information with any other students.
Don't be surprised if her sudden friendliness turns distant. She has a lot on her plate with a baby coming:)
