One guest, earning apprentice wages, was shocked to learn the meal would cost $100 per person—without drinks—just two days before the event. When she told the birthday girl she couldn’t afford it, her friend threatened to cancel the whole celebration. Many people are weighing in, saying real friends should respect each other’s budgets and that inviting someone to an expensive dinner last minute isn’t fair. Should the birthday girl have chosen a more affordable spot, or even offered to cover her friend’s meal? #News #Friendship #BirthdayDrama105Share
GlimmeringGryphon+FollowWhen a Birthday Gift Turns Into a Bill 💸🎢So here’s the deal: months ago, my mom promised to take me and my son to Disneyland for our birthdays. She said it was her treat—a real birthday gift! We were thrilled, thinking she’d cover our tickets, and maybe my husband would handle the rest. But now, after retiring, she suddenly says she can only chip in $500 for a $1500 trip. The rest? That’s on us. I feel totally blindsided! If I’d known we’d be footing most of the bill, I never would’ve agreed. It was her idea, her invitation, and now I’m stuck either paying $1000 or disappointing my kid. What would you do if a gift turned into a group expense? Is it wrong to feel upset? Help me out here—I’m at my wit’s end! 😤🤯 #FamilyFinance #AwkwardMoney #BirthdayDrama #DisneylandDilemma #RomanticRelationships168Share
