Don't U Get Tired of Selfish, Self centered People??

Is it possible the friend didn't see the discussion? I know I don't remember seeing it. I'm glad everything is okay with your DIL, and I hope the baby is healthy when born!

Dear Jo, There might be several reasons why that friend did not comment. I say this because I, for one, never read your post about your DIL problem. I have not been posting too much at mylot this month because I have been more at the dentist than at home. I did not even made the minimum payment this month. But that does not mean I´m not with you now that I know. It IS worrysome. Even though with a 7 month´s pregnancy things are not so problematic, still one wants everything to come out as it should. I have been through all kinds of not so good pregnancies with my daughters and it seems one worries more for them than if it had been ours. Just think that doctors have a lot more ways to take care of those problems now than what they had when we gave birth. I hope everything is alright. A big HUG!

I don't know about you, but I've not been getting notifications and I've been getting behind, maybe that's why your friend didn't/hasn't responded. I know I've haven't seen that discussion so either I didn't receive a notification or I haven't opened it yet.

If it's one time, I'd think she either just missed it or got distracted or something. But if it happens with her all the time, I'd say she's probably selfish and self centered.

Perhaps your communication with your friend got clogged up somewhere in the etherzone? Things happen like that sometime. Premature contractions can start anywhere in the last trimester. Hopefully this is what happened with your dil. Glad things are okay with her now.

First off, glad to hear the baby wasn't born prematurely. Second, I never get tired of selfish, self-centered people. They always seem to find new ways to astound me, which, at minimum, keeps me intrigued. Never a dull moment. Just a bunch of frustrating ones.

I never got a message from MyLot about this discussion on the contractions. Don't forget that the emails do get 'lost' in space!with the computers and that may be what happened to. I have noticed that there are several emails from my server that I never received, some I found out went back to the sender as 'undeliverable', but since they were reply's I don't know why they did that. Don't write your friend off till you find out what happened. Maybe the friend was giving you space to deal with the problems and didn't realize that she was hurting you.

I probably deserve the brunt of this discussion...but NO, I did NOT know about the serious situation with your daughter-in-law, there was NO discussion, nor had you PM'd me....it would have been good for me to worry about "YOU" and get my head out of my OWN funk! I truly pray that this was a form of "false" labour..did the Dr. say this may be an alert, as you will be worried silly until the birth. Please know, if it was me...either I did not get the e-mail, as something as big as this would have motivated me, to get my head out of my own a$$, as you have always been there for me...listened to far "too many" of my problems! I am in a real funk, Jo...and DID NOT further wish to burden you, have been around here a bit, and only tried to answer light-hearted discussions..to get my mind OFF things! Our weather has been beating us up...too! Weeks+ of a deep freeze...the SNOW, and yesterday prediction of 100+ winds, which are hurricane force..like we had 3 years ago, when my carport was destroyed. I was really surprised this morning that the power is still on. The worst is supposed to him around 10 a.m. this morning, so we will have NO ferries..and probably no power. So if I don't answer right away, know it is due to NO power. HUGZ & Lotsa LUV! I promise you I will be fine soon!

Hi Jo, There's so many people who are like that, self centered and can't be bothered with other people's problems. However, we all have to give them the benefit of the doubt because they may not have been on their computer in a while or maybe they didn't get your discussion in their email. I've had a few people tell me "why didn't I get this discussion in my email box?" Well, I wouldn't have a clue, maybe the notify is off or it's another glitch with mylot. Who knows but yes, I'm like you, I don't like self centered type of people either.

I am astounded nearly every day at how selfish and self centered people are now days. I was brought up by my grandmother and she was strinct but loving and caring. She was the matriarch of our family and when she passed away alot of life as I knew it went with her. She taught me to be a lady(not an easy task since I was a tomboy), she taught me grace, and ethics and morels. She would turn over in her grave TWICE to see some of the people and how they act now days. I am sorry you had this happen. People are people.

i hope it wasnt me? i dont check my email every day over on that account. plus, i dont remember this. unless it was here and i missed the discussion some how? im so sorry Jo. you always listen to my many problems and i do hope you except my apology. i do pray when friends have asked. is she better now? i complain way to much and now im so worried its me.

I can understand why that would have hurt you ANTIQUELADY. If you have made the effort to always respond to another it is hurtful when that person does not return the favour. Have you contacted that person? Maybe something happened and she was not able to be here. I know I haven’t had much time here lately and my email in box has around 562 notifications! I wonder what my chances are of catching up... Hope you sort it out with your friend...

I hope it wasn't me...lol..I have been covered up the past couple of days and have missed you and myLot horribly. I'm afraid my homework load combined with work really put it on me the last two days. I do think that it is uncalled for when you listen and listen and then when all you want to do is be listened to justt once...your ignored. No call for that. I hope your dil is doing well now. It's scary to have pains that early.

Very glad everything worked out for you. Hope that you have a very healthy baby. Sorry your friend didn't respond. Maybe she was busy or didn't realize how bad it was. Take care.

Hi Jo Now I know it is not me as I know I do not have your Email addy and you do not have mine which we need to change actually Now there can be many reasons why this Person has not got back to you but I have to admit that I have come across this many a time and in real Life as well not just online I am so glad that your Daughter in law is ok and the Baby as well but it is out of order that your Friend was not there for you Big Hugs Sweetie, they always say in time of needs you find out who your real Friends are

WEll I dont know that I have seen that one so not sure some of our friends arent getting the notifys so ya cant tell about that.

I hope that everything works out well for your daughter in law. Hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on out. Maybe the person you were hoping to hear back from just has been busy or ill and couldn't respond to your discussion. I know that I'm guilty of not always getting to every discussion.

i think before commenting on other people everyone should take some time and have accountability of himself coz in my view every person is to some extent selfish and self centered in some way. some people are more than others that is way they are not liked by many, but i think everyone has some percentage of these qualities built in their character may it be only 5 %

Hi Antiquelady. Getting contractions before the due date is something to worry about. But it might also be false pains. Hope everything is back to normal now. Did you check with the doctor as to what to do if she gets contractions again? Since she has got it once, she might get them again. I do not want to frighten you, but want you to be prepared if she gets them again. I pretty much ignore people who are selfish and self centered. If all they do is take, then they are not given much importance by me and I start ignoring them too. Yes, I do get very tired of this kind.

Hello AntiqueLady! I don't know how you told that to hear but maybe it sounded like trouble for hear and that she never said anything to not get involved. Sometimes we expect from other people and never get what we expected from them. I know that some people doesn't bother much checking and reading emails but if ever she's the type who always check emails then you must already start to not expect so much from her.
