Then it’s not really a party is it?

She’s been pretty blunt there!

I don’t think her requests are unreasonable

She is a person with many followers on Tik Tok…..Attention and controversy makes her happy.

She could have worded it a lot better.

I guess if you were a friend of this young mother you would know how she thinks and acts and talks only too well, so it probably wouldn’t be a problem for you at all. What she did by putting it out there on social media is the mistake in my book. Her sentiments are quite reasonable, really, and they probably made her close circle of friends smile. If she hadn’t put it out there, she wouldn’t have had to follow up with all the nasty trolls.

I get the concept, but the way it is delivered is poor and comes across as selfish and entitled.

She needs to either forgo the day altogether or word it differently. It’s more like she’s willing to put up with you for an hour and you should pay her for talking to you. Wonder what her daughter will think when she’s older and finds out mum did a party for her brother but not her? I’m sure if she has money to spend on luxurious things she can pay for her own backyard

Some of what she is requesting is reasonable, but the way she says it comes across selfish and entitled. For goodness sake, it’s one day! Yes, you have a routine but on this one day it’s about your child having fun. Who cares if she won’t remember. If people want to linger a little longer be thankful you have friends who want to be there for you and socialise. The things you have to do can wait one day. Not providing a meal is fair and everyone will only expect party food anyway, so make it a nice morning tea. Then, maybe people might want to contribute some money. But with an attitude like that in the video, they won’t!

Maybe she could bring it a bit diferently, but nothing wrong with her requests

May as well not have a party as it seems be please come between these hours and drop off a gift of money. It’s obvious she does not even want to socialise with other friends and family.

Fair enough. The only criticism I have is that the $75 she spent on a headband may have been better spent on her backyard.

I think it was just raw and honest and let’s be real – we’ve all been there with the young kids and people overstaying their welcome.

Why have a party at all. Life is getting so demanding and unrealistic now.

Gee. Don’t have a party to celebrate your daughter’s birthday. Just celebrate with your partner. Simple. It’s very passive aggressive and could have been handled very differently.

If she feels that strongly about the party and gifts and her child not remembering and the time limit, why on earth have a party at all. I agree with having a time limit and also about the gift business but she’s making it all one sided. It’s all to her advantage and nothing to her guests. So why bother at all. ????????‍♀️????????‍♀️

Actually love this! Wish people could be more open and honest with how they want things to go, instead of just people pleasing

If she is not asking for presents, she doesnt have to give them lunch!

Good on her as some people go so over board with a 1st Birthday party its basically not for the child its for the parents

Some people lack tact and deliver a message in the entirely wrong way. I can understand the reasoning behind her requests, but it sounds a little aggressive.
