Is this reason enough to be resentful and bitter?

Me and my 2 friends had children all within a year of each other. They are sisters, lets call them ashley and britney. At my baby shower, I invited them both sepretly. The husband of Ashely, gave her $100. The 2 sisters gave me 1 "combined" gift that was a pack a of dipers and some diaper covers. $35 at the very most. For Ashley's baby shower, not only did I BUY her at least $200 worth of stuff, I bought her entire crib bedding, a matching twin set for her other childs bed to match, and gave her EASILY $500 worth of hand me downs and other swings etc. For Britney's baby shower, not only did I buy her $100 worth of stuff, I HAND MADE the bumpers, curtains, sheets, dust ruffle, basket liners, burp rags, and matching quilt! Not an easy task with a baby of my own at home. She was impatient and wanted to put her room together before the baby shower. She did not even mention the work that I had done at the baby shower let alone let me give it to her their. but what ever. So my child's first birthday comes around. I invite them both sepretly. NEITHER one bought my daughter ANYTHING! Not even a card. But they were there to eat pizza cake and ice cream. It has been 5 months since her party, so "maybe they'll get it later" is not going to happen. And they are both way better off money wise than I am. Now with both of their baby's first birthdays in the next 2 months I'm wondering....... Should I get them anything for their birthdays? Would that be rude or immature? I am seriously a little hurt by this, and don't know what to think of it.

Well, it sounds like your friends aren't very aware of how their behavior makes you feel. It sounds like you're much more generous with them than they are with you. But you can't expect them to reciprocate, especially with gifts. They didn't ask you to give them everything that you did - I hope they at least thanked you! I can understand that you're hurt. I would hold back on all the gift-giving. That said, it doesn't mean that you don't get their children birthday presents - a nice card or small gift is acceptable. Just because they don't give presents doesn't mean you should stop. I think expecting them to give just as much as you are -- well, that's probably never going to happen. Be the bigger person and continue to be generous - but you can do that in small ways. Good luck to you!
