NEWSFLASH: The whole world revolves around her. 

Kids' birthdays require a lot of planning. Working around spring break schedules, soccer tournaments, and your kiddo's best friend's sibling's ballet recital, parental party planning can be a full-time gig. Since most parents realize that, there's mutual respect—a head nod, if you will—that occurs when the RSVP's start coming in. Recognizing your hard work, respectful parents will honor their promises to both your kin and theirs. 

However, this entitled mom thought the entire world revolved around her 10-year-old boy's itinerary, and after already promising her son's attendance to his buddy's birthday party, she suddenly changed her mind. Instead of gracefully apologizing and sending a gift in his stead, this entitled mom demanded the birthday party date be changed—so that the STAR of the show could be there. 

Forget about the birthday boy, roll out the red carpet for this lady's son and nobody else!

  • Nevermind it takes a month to plan this thing and there's tons of volunteers to put this free event on. With hot chocolate, smores and pizza. As well as a Santa and cookies. But sure, let's reschedule. /s

  • kiwimuz Wow-how extremely entitled of her. You set the date, if her child cannot attend on that date then no he will not be attending. It's not rocket science.

  • Far_Satisfaction_365 I would've just said, "sorry to hear that. We will miss seeing Johnny at the party but X will understand."

  • You are never required to change your date of your party for just one kid who won't be able to attend, unless it's the birthday kid and it's an emergency.

  • SnooWords4839 Don't even have an extra goodie bag for that kid to get later. If the kid can't make and his mom thinks she is in charge of your party, her kid misses out.

  • anoobsearcher Ah yes change the date your child was born. This reminds me of a Reddit post showing a comment complaining that a solar eclipse party's date should be changed due to the commenter being busy that day. Good luck convincing the moon to move a bit slower for you.

  • Duckr74 You could suggest a playdate for the boys in the date she is requesting. No harm in that!
