Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Alt account. This happened a couple of months ago but I’m still annoyed. 

So my partner and I decided that we didn’t want a big first birthday party for our daughter because over the years we have been to many parties and they aren’t something we ever really enjoyed going to let alone want to host. So we decided to just have a fun day with our daughter the day before her birthday and then have family drop in and see us on the Saturday which was her actual birthday. 

My partner works some weekends and I was invited to go to my brothers house for lunch on the day after his birthday being a Sunday and the invite was just for lunch and to give my daughter a present, my parents would also be going for lunch as they had a prior engagement on the Saturday and couldn’t make it to see us on her birthday (which I was fine with).  My partner was working and they knew this and it wasn’t a problem. 

So I get to my brothers house and there is a balloon tied to the letter box which I didn’t think much of at first, when I get inside there are balloons everywhere and birthday banners and a full party setup. I was a bit taken aback because this was not what I would consider a  normal lunch as I was pitched. I had an alright time and left to go home. 

I am annoyed that they threw a party without telling me and also without my partner being there.  I feel as though that they have disregarded our choice to not have a party and throw one anyway to show us up.
