I would go to the christening..As we get older friendships change..thats a part of life and growing up unfortunately. You are put out because your friends dont call you often anymore..do you think not going to the christening and not returning her calls is hurting her? Yes it is..but is that your goal? Obviously she thinks you are an important part of her life. She has invited you to her baby's christening..that is a very important event and obviously you are important enough to her. She wants you to be a part of it...swollow your pride and be a friend..be the friend to HER that you wish she was to you.  |

I don't know. Talk to her and tell her how you feel about it.Tell that you you miss being her friend.  |

I can see why you are upset - but hsi has a lot to do with the theory of punctuation.... Is she naggiong ebcause he is drinking, or drinking because she is nagging? Understand what I am saying.... I haven't been there so I don't know if something was said, or any of the small incedents.  |

heh this story is very familiar. Needless to say my friend and I have worked over that. What I did was call her and let her know how I felt, and you can do the same and work fromt hat call. If thats your friend, then try and keep it sweety, I know you may have felt left out, but remember one thing, she may not have been a great friend, but you can be.. show it off and do good by her. I know its upsetting to be treated like that, but its one of many bumps that will come in a friendship. -God picks our family, but we choose our friends, so choose wisely.- -Diana aka  |

This is just my stand point, but I would go. See how she reacts to you being there. Does it seem like she's glad you came or the complete opposite. To me, it just seems like you're being a little selfish and taking out more of something than their is to take in the beginning. Not to sound totally mean, but I think you should go. Afterwards, you could talk to her about it. If you don't go and try to talk about it, it'll seem like you just want a friend without having to give anything. Like I said, this is entirely my opinion. The decision is yours. Good luck!  |

I would go to the Christening.. Good friends are hard to find. If she has been a good friend previously, try to work things out. Maybe she doesn't see what she is doing wrong. Try talking to her without it going into an arguement. I hope things work out for you.  |

I don't know what to say... you have to take into consideration that having babies and getting married are huge events in people's lives and they take up a lot of time and energy, which can sometimes end up excluding some people. If you feel that the issue goes beyond that, then you need to have some heart to heart talks. Remember that the baby's christening only happens once and if you miss it, you may always regret it.  |

Go to the Christening, congratulate her, and say, "Don't be a stranger" or something like that. Sadly, everyone changes. It's just something that happens.  |

You can go just don't bring a gift. At the thing if she askes say you came for the baby not her. If she asks tell her all that you told us here. If any one of my friends did that to me i'd smack em' LoL!  |

I would go to the Christening and wish the family well...later on when things settle down she may realize that she kind of pushed you to the side. She may be consumed with all these changes and not know how to include all the people she cares about without seeming to alienate them. Be patient and see what happens, but most of all...follow your heart...Green Eyed Froggy  |

I would go. That is something important in the childs life and obviously you mean something to her and her child even if she acts that way. Personally to invite you to such things shows you might be making a big deal out of things that are small and insugnificant or however its spelled.  |
