Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Our prom happened on my friend's birthday. Let's call her Nic.  


Nic's mom was PTA pres and so could choose when prom happened (with a range of late Feb-early March). March 1st was chosen for 1.) being a Friday 2.) being the only Friday without another school event happening at the same time 3.) being her kid's birthday so she could save a bit before the big 18th birthday debut next year. Side note: they were very, very, ***very*** rich enough to not *need* to save, but extra bucks is always good, right?

During the prom program, Nic is upset and all pouty. She talks to no one but her boyfriend, and only after the prom at a private party at a small bar at the hotel we were staying at (mine and Nic's friend circle + her mom and boyfriend) does he relay the message to us friends to find a way to leave the place because Nic was Not Happy Being There because she didn't have her own birthday party or even a cake or gift, and she felt that a small private party instead of a grand celebration like she had every other year but this 2019 "demeaned" her birthday.

We friends hold in rolling our eyes. We know Nic has high standards and gift-giving is hard because 1.) she's rich 2.) she likes material gifts 3.) she's picky about what she receives and she *will* say it to your face if she hates your gift (Side note 2: this is the one year we didn't give her a gift because prom preparations. most of our circle is also not rich, so prom alone is a big hole in our wallets), but because birthday we restrain ourselves and pull her away from the bar in hopes she'd be happy.

She wasn't. Pouting and stomping the whole time all the way up to our room. I get she is the youngest in our circle by a year, but I am two seconds away from giving her a private talk at school next week about her materialism and childishness, but WIBTA if I went through with that?

TLDR: Rich friend upset by not having bday party/gifts. I want to call her out on it next week. WIBTA?
