Three friends planning birthday for fourth. Friend A suggests meal, but doesn’t mention at any point that they will be cooking.

Friend B and C ask D what they want and they’re keen on a themed meal eg tex mex. They let A know and say they will sort ingredients, buy presents from the group and to let them know if A wants in on it - they will all do it as a group/house. They all live together.

Friend A originally wanted to make a stir fry so says they will provide vegetables but don’t want to contribute anything else for food. They don’t want to pay for alcohol as they won’t be drinking but don’t mind paying anything for presents.

Day of the meal, friend A doesn’t reply to messages and doesn’t provide food. Goes awol until c11pm when everyone else is eating, waltzes in with a card and goes to bed. Can only assume she is sulking as her plan wasn’t followed to the letter.

Aibu to be incredibly pissed off

Are you the one whose birthday it was?

No, yanbu to be pissed off. Your friend sounds a bit, erm, touchy!

So A suggests a meal, B, C & D "take over" with what they want (and sounds like A doesn't like) and expect A to still cook it?

I think everyone's been a bit unreasonable here.

No A wasn’t asked to cook, just to provide input and help out. Given they all live together and it’s one persons bday it doesn’t make sense for anyone to “take over”
