I forgot my Best Friends Birthday and now she is not talking to me!!!

Your friend is acting very immature, she is a mother now, so she needs to stop acting like a child. You forgot her birthday, SO WHAT!!!!!!, after the way she is ignoring you, I don't think you even owe her an explanation. She knows that you have been trying to reach her, so what is her problem. You said you were friends since kindergarten, well she does not value your friendship that much, if she is acting this way over a birthday acknowledgement. You tried to connect with her, she will be needing you soon, and will probably call you. Take care, and don't let it bother you,

maybe you could send some cards stating the reason why you did not remember it...or just send something she likes..cakes or chocolate maybe? its one way of saying sorry for not remembering..not talking to her will not do any good i guess..

Now that is really immature of her. I mean you are already adults and she should know better that sulk like that. Yes, her birthday is very important but that does not mean that she cannot really forgive people for being distracted and forget it. Besides, it's not as if you did not remember it at all.

Ouch. I guess some people are a little sensitive about the subject of birthdays. People forget and this happens because we are human, lol. I can see why she's upset, though. The two of you have been friends for so long and something like that should come naturally to you. I guess you have to give her time.

I think what you did was right that you wait for her to call you. You already did your part and if since you are best friends, I know that an event like that is not enough to ruin your friendship. It's nice you give her some time to realize that it was an honest mistake and you really didn't mean to forget things. Since she is pregnant that time too it is maybe part of mood swings.

she doesn't seem to be a friend at all. it's easy to get mad first over something, but to keep it up as far as she is? there is something wrong with her. i have a sister like that and we think she's schizophrenic. seriously. the least little thing and sometimes we have no idea what she thinks we did wrong. i know that birthdays are a big deal to some people but we all slip up. and you know what? it could be someday she will forget someone else's birthday. you did all that you could. she's over the top. don't beat yourself up over it. you're human. go forward with your life.

I can tell that you are very hurt by your friends reaction and in my opinion she is being very childish. You did remember the next day and that is better than I do. I have 2 children whose birthdays are in June. so this year I got the cards for both of them but forgot the mail the one whose birthday in last in the month. This is a terrible thing for amother to do but He did forgive me as soon as I remembered to tell him happy birthday. I think that I would just let it go and whencshe gets to missing you she will call. But I would also let her know just how childish she was and how hurt you are that she couldn't forgive you.

I would send a card and a small gift for her and/or the baby. Tell her you are sorry (that's all you can do) and hope that she comes around. She is being childish and needs to grow up. Things happen and this was not done intentionally. She should accept your apology but if she doesn't, move on.

if she is indeed your best friend, this seems kinda shallow for her to be this mad at you. i would think that just an apology would suffice for your blunder.

I'm not sure I'd be the person to say anything, being it that I don't really make too big of a deal about birthdays or birthdays aren't that important to me... Granted that it feels nice to have my loved ones make a big fuss about it but I don't ever forget what's really important in my life... I forget my girl friend's birthday all the time... Don't get me wrong, I don't do it on purpose & I do feel bad when I do... She & I have been through enough together for her to know exactly how I feel... I try to make everyday special for her... We don't make a big deal about mother's day, father's day, christmas, etc, etc... Even my daughter jumped in on this... She gives me butterfly kisses everyday & tells me how much she loves me & that means more to me than anything she could buy me on 1 day out of the year... If you've guys known each other that long, she should've known what type of person you are, & I don't mean that in a bad way... You just tend to forget dates... No big deal... You guys are best of friends, or so you thought... That means little more than having to say, "happy birthday" 1 day out of the year... Why she's even willing to risk a friendship over that is beyond me... True friendship should be more than that... There's one guy I would consider my very close friend... He & I get together & hang out maybe once or twice a month... Birthdays aren't even an issue... Last time we did anything for each other's birthday was about 15 years ago... He & I are still good friends...

I'm sorry your friend is not talking to you over missing her birthday. I hope she will come to her senses. That is very immature. I just missed a good friends birthday a few days ago. I thought she was'nt going to talk to me over it. But she did and forgave me. I wouldn't call her again let her call you. If she doesn't then it's her loss and I'm sorry.

I think I'm lucker than you in this aspect, though I sometimes forgot my friends' birthday, they never blamed me. A real friend should forgive you and help you under any circumstance, if you really don't want to lose this friendship, you still can do something to make up. I'll show you an example of mine, maybe you can get something helpful. 2 months ago, my best friend had her 25th birthday, I forgot of that. And when I recalled that, it was 2 weeks later. I felt very guilty of that, and decided to make a present for her. And during the follwing 3 weeks, I collected some wonderful songs she likes and many photos and videos which are meaningful to both of us, and finally accomplished a video present to celebrating her birthday. When she received this gift, I felt her rather happy. We usually send presents purchased from stores to our friends, however, that's not what our friends really want. Gift is not a ceremony, it's something delivering your feeling to your friends. Try to give her something can really move her, and let her know that you were not intentional to forget her birthday. Good luck!

Well, it is your fault for fogetting an important event that means a lot to her. I would try and talk things out as soon as possible.

keep calling,someday she'll pick up the phone and listen.

Birthdays? Come on, that's not a big deal at all. It's silly for her to cut off ties with you just because of that. I myself don't greet all of my friends on their birthdays. And it's fine by me if they don't greet me on my birthday. I don't think that's what defines a friendship, that you must always remember birthdays. That is so shallow!

That is such a little thing and she over-reacted. You have a busy life and a son to care for and a husband, you can't remember everything! Your family comes first now, she must know that. You could try sending her a belated card but she evidently has some problems and she's taking it out on you. You've done all you can, the ball is in her court now.
