Some folks just can't resist hogging all the attention, no matter the occasion. But what if someone tries to swipe your spotlight when it's your turn to shine? That's the conundrum faced by Redditor u/Prudent_Plan_6451, who turned to the "Am I the A**hole" (AITA) subReddit for some crowd-sourced judgment.
OP, determined to be a good host, suggests ordering Leah vegan fare separately. But Leah's response? Crickets. Then, just a day before the shindig, Leah casually drops that she's got an "announcement" to make at the party—her pregnancy reveal. Cue OP's irritation levels skyrocketing. Leah's acting like she's the party planner, sending texts as if she's running the show.
Worried about her spotlight being hijacked, OP hatches a plan. What's that plan, you ask? Well, you'll have to dive into the story to find out!
OP asks:
Explaining her situation, OP says that after some hard, long years she decided to throw herself a birthday party and invite all her close friends to help celebrate.
OP messaged Leah personally and asked what this was about as she didn't quite understand.
And if that behaviour wasn’t diva enough, Leah had more bombs to drop days before the party.
That's... a lot. OP then uninvited her from her party... so Leah's family took up her cause.
With a blink of an eye his post went viral faster than a sneeze in a crowded room, and boy, did it catch everyone's attention! Here’s how Reddit users reacted:
This Redditor would tell the group why Leah was uninvited.
Leah should know to announce it at her own time.
And she needs to stop acting like a baby.
If she comes, she'll definitely make the announcement.
How can someone be that horrible and immature???
Another user advised the OP:
To which OP replies:
Leah can plan her own party and do it there.
OP should keep Leah and her family blocked.
A true friend cares about you and your feelings.
Another Redditor reveals what they would do too.
One even wants to know why the OP is friends with Leah.
OP should not let Leah's family guilt her into feeling bad.
And why would Leah's family be messaging the OP?
Bottom of the line: This is the OP's birthday and her party.
