How much is too much when talking about your newborn baby?
my friend from high school keeps talking about her newborn baby. when we email. Which is fine. But it can get annoying when she talks about her baby wayyyy too much when we email. I know she is proud of her baby and she is ecstatic. But maybe I am jealous because she doesn’t ask me about my life. I have older child too but I do not flaunt him. I only talk about him, when asked. How do I tell my friend that she talks about her newborn wayy to much without sounding rude?
I didn’t talk about my newborn when I first had him, unless people asked about him. I don’t want to get on anybody’s nerves
I need non judegmental comments.
I forgot I lost a baby this year and my friend acknowledges that I lost a baby but she still talks about her baby wayyy too much.
Well I need to find a way to tell her because it’s annoying to me.
Animi- thank you for being insensitive about my concern.
I mean that user named "Notanimi"- i’m looking for responses related to my concern. Your response is very negative and very selfish.
My friend lives in another state.
If I have a conversation, I ask the other party "Hey, whats going on with you?" I let the other person talk. I let them talk until they ask me about my life or my baby. I do not start the conversation talking about my baby. Emailing my friend is very different. She talks about her baby too much.
I feel ya. I understand it gets annoying. If you are talking to each other via email, then copy and paste the area where she talks about her baby and underneath that area, change the subject.
Talk about your child. Or put something like "I’m tired".
My friend also talked about her baby too much and we lost friendship because of that. I complained that she talked about her baby too much and she twist it around making it like it’s my fault. LOL. It’s soo sad too we’ve been friends since elementary. And it had to end because she was soo selfish. She never asked to see my son’s pictures for 18 months! She wasn’t even curious. She was always talking about her baby and this went on for over a year. I was always sitting there rolling my eyes. But anyway, I hope my advice helped.
