Birthdays are supposed to feel personal, not like obligations someone else planned without asking.<\/p>\n
Should someone endure a packed venue on their birthday simply because another person already paid?<\/p>\n
Instead of visiting her horse as she wanted, this woman<\/a> is facing guilt over an expensive surprise she never requested.<\/p>\n Read on for the full details.<\/p>\n Tomorrow is my birthday. Everyone I know has the flu.<\/p>\n All I wanted to do was go see my horse.<\/p>\n I am feeling pretty down.<\/p>\n I was also supposed to see my long-distance boyfriend, but he got the flu.<\/p>\n This woman\u2019s mom made a reservation for her birthday.<\/p>\n My mom told me that she made a reservation to go somewhere.<\/p>\n It is apparently pretty packed. It cost $400.<\/p>\n She knows that I do not like large crowds.<\/p>\n She also knows that no one else is able to come.<\/p>\n She told her mom she didn\u2019t want to go.<\/p>\n I told her I do not want to go.<\/p>\n She said I have to go because she already paid.<\/p>\n That is not what I asked for.<\/p>\n Should I just go since she paid? Am I being rude?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see how others reacted to this story.<\/p>\n This person offers good advice.<\/p>\n Sounds generous to me, says this user.<\/p>\n Never Miss a Story<\/p>\n Sign up to get our BEST stories of the week straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a valid point from this one.<\/p>\n Short and sensible.<\/p>\n If you enjoyed this story, check out this post<\/a> about a daughter who feels hoodwinked after finding out the sick father she\u2019s been supporting has plenty of money of his own.<\/p>\n Finally, here\u2019s a heartwarming remark.<\/p>\n This woman didn\u2019t ask for a costly reservation, and her mother knew that crowded places would make the celebration uncomfortable.<\/p>\n A thoughtful birthday plan should center the person being celebrated, so declining doesn\u2019t make her responsible for the wasted money.<\/p>\n Spending $400 before asking one basic question was certainly a bold party strategy.<\/p>\n Enjoyed this story?
