To want to buy my neice's first birthday cake?

[AbernathysFringe]

I know a great cake maker and placed an order but when she found out, her mum wanted me to cancel and to choose one herself.

[TurnOffTheTv]

Don't be ridiculous. You overstepped the mark, of course her Mother wants to choose it and order it.

[CrazyDuchess]

Yup YABU - should have asked mum first

[Bejeena]

Yes as a mother I wouldn't be happy with that myself I like making the cakes myself

[Cynara]

This is a reverse, isn't it?

[EponasWildDaughter]

YABU i'm afaid.
It's her baby's first birthday. Of course she wants to choose it herself!

[TurnOffTheTv]

Ah fuck have I been sucked into another troll thread?

[EponasWildDaughter]

oh

reverse. has to be.

[AliceInUnderpants]

Here, make her some instead

[TurnOffTheTv]

Or a reverse?

[RattieOfCatan]

Yabu. It's her child's first birthday! It's her (and the other parents) choice what cake she gets for her!

[MooningIntoTheAbyss]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[AbernathysFringe]

I'm the mum. Had to just make sure I wasn't a bitch. And I can spell niece.
I didn't pitch a fit. Just said...ahhh we probably want to organise that from this end. It's a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
There's precedent - my birth card from her was 'Congratulations on the birth of my beautiful niece'. Not quite over that one yet.

[KurriKurri]

No yanbu - order the cake, buy all the presents, hold the party at your house, and don't invite her parents - you're an Aunty that's your job.

[pigsDOfly]

Reverse.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

What a cheeky mother, wanting to buy her own daughter's first birthday cake.

Next she'll be kicking up a fuss when you take your niece for her first haircut.

[TurnOffTheTv]

Did it really need to be a reverse?

[AbernathysFringe]

Mitzy shudders with terror

[EponasWildDaughter]

I thought reverses were bit old hat now.

Never mind.

No, you're not being unreasonable OP.

[AbernathysFringe]

TurnOff Probably not, just wanted to know if her way of thinking had any supporters.

[LittleLionMansMummy]

Yanbu for feeling this way. Yabu for three reverse. I suspect the outcome would have been the same had you come clean from the start.

[NotSleepyAtAll]

'Congratulations on the birth of my beautiful niece'

That's very funny, but kinda sweet too. She is clearly coming from a good place and adores your DD! Just needs to rein it in a bit a lot !!

[LittleLionMansMummy]

the reverse. Why my fucking phone keeps thinking I want to spell 'three' instead is beyond me.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

'Congratulations on the birth of my beautiful niece'

I quite like that!
