Some people are naturally dramatic and need more attention than others, and I think we can all agree that we know someone like this. We call these types of people "drama queens". They need attention to feel special and wanted and recognized for some reason. No matter how old we get, sadly people still carry these immature tendencies. These types of people get even more tricky when it comes to dealing with them in our own families. Sometimes this can feel like walking on eggshells around our family members to not offendthem. However, below we see how OP changes the story of how to deal with a "drama queen" in the family. 

In todays AITA post, read to find out about why OP was forced to leave her nieces birthday party due to her "drama queen" mother. Also, not to mention leaving with her nieces birthday presents in hand… Lets see how this one plays out.

    Font - When I received the invention to the party there was a note asking everyone to not forget about the mommy when shopping for birthday gifts. That my nieces birthday was also meant to celebrate the woman who carried her for nine months.

    Font - I will be honest I'm not Megan's biggest fan, I've always found her to be a large drama queen. So when I read that I was supposed to bring her a present to her daughter's birthday party I was annoyed and knew I would be doing no such thing.

    Font - For my Nieces birthday, I made her a large wool hand-crocheted blanket and matching teddy bear. When it came time to open gifts it was Megan sitting on a chair in the center of the living room with my nieces sitting on the floor next to her. Megan opened every single present even the ones meant for my niece. It was only after she was done she would hand the open present to my niece.

    Font - When it came time to open my present I watch as Megan open my gift, shuffled past the teddy bear and blanket, and proceeded to search for "her gift". When Megan found no other present she looked up and asked me if there was another present from me in the pile, I responded "No".

    Font - Disappointed Megan took the blanket out of the box and proceeded to ask me questions like "where did you get such a cute blanket" and "I hope you didn't break the bank with such an extravagant present". Her tone of voice came across as sincere but the way she stared at me across the room definitely gave me a different impression.

    Font - I responded to her questions by saying that I made the teddy bear and blanket myself and that it was no trouble for my little niece. Megan chuckles and asks me in front of the whole party if I had actually made the gifts, I responded absolutely. Megan and I go back and forth in front of everyone for a minute but Megan ends the conversation by saying I didn't actually make the gifts because I didn't collect the wool for the blanket or make the buttons on the bear myself. That for something

    Font - After my MIL pulled me aside, she was extremely upset with me for antagonizing Megan. No one in the family likes Megan but my in-laws play nice because when they didn't Megan and her husband moved halfway across the country, they just recently moved back to town. After my MIL thoroughly lectured me on "keeping the peace" she asked me to leave the party, go buy Megan a present, and to come back when I am ready with an apology.

    Font - Instead, I left the party and took my presents with me. All-day today I have been playing telephone with friends and relatives of Megan. All of them accusing me of ruining my niece's birthday party and telling me I'm an AH for stealing my niece's birthday presents.

    Font - Edit: My intentions for taking the present was to rewrap the gift and give it to my niece one on one so she could actually open a birthday present. After her mom opened the present she put it back in the box and back on the table she didn't actually give the gift to my niece.

    Font - Quiet Attitude4053 8 days ago! 2 Asshole Enthusiast [6] NTA. It's really strange that an adult woman would try and make her daughter's birthday about herself. That's what her own birthday is for!! After my MIL pulled me aside, she was extremely upset with me for antagonizing Megan

    Font - Bearwear671 OP - 8 days ago Both my in-laws are always trying to "keep the peace" but what that actually means is everyone bending over backwards for Megan. During Christmas we have to be very conscious about how many presents we give Megan because if anyone gets more presents than her she will throw a legitimate tantrum.
