Today, I left my 2-year-old son with my husband and met up with some friends from my school days for lunch. Friend A just gave birth six months ago, Friend B has a child in kindergarten, and Friend C is getting married soon.
On the train ride home, I praised the baby nonstop. So much so that I thought I might have gone a bit too far. A pretended not to be hurt at the time, but it seemed that B’s insensitive remark had really hurt her. However, after fully understanding how I felt, she smiled kindly and said, “Thank you.”
When I got home, I was alone, clutching my smartphone, wondering what to do. Should I tell B, “You shouldn’t have said that just now?” But maybe it’s not my place to butt in and say something? What should I do…?
And then, suddenly, my smartphone rang. To my surprise, it was none other than B on the other end…
