My bf and I have these friends who recently had a baby. He has been friends with them for over ten years but are not super super close. I only know them through him but we have always gotten along well and I do consider them friends.


In July we were invited last minute to their baby shower (the girls had a shower, the guys went out to a pub) and I literally mean last minute, we were invited Saturday night for a Sunday lunch time shower. But I ran around a pulled togeather a really nice gift, which I have not received a thankyou note for. Not only that, the baby was born at the end of July and we haven't heard anything yet from them. No birth announcement, no phone call, no nothing.


I take this as an indication that our friendship isn't that important to them. I want to see how they are doing but we aren't really the just-called-to-chat type, and calling them makes me uncomfortable since they haven't told us anything about the baby yet. My bf (who always tries to see the good in his friends) thinks maybe they are so busy that they forgot to tell us. I'm not really sure what to do, my feelings are kind of hurt that they wouldn't let us know that the baby is ok or what it's name is or what it even was. Thoughts?

I think I'd just give them a call and say, "I know you all have been busy, but I was just checking in to see how the new baby is..."  Or something to that affect.  While they should've sent you a thank you by now, I'm sure they just haven't called because they're overwhelmed with a new baby and probably family calling and coming over.

I think it's poor taste to not send a baby announcement OR a thank-you for a shower gift -- think of it this way -- really, what new parents are NOT busy at this time of their lives, yet they still always manage to send these things out? I'm hoping yours just got lost in the mail or something.

Just my opinion -- I don't think you're out of place to have your feelings hurt by this.
