When a woman's mother-in-law refused to reschedule her son's first birthday party, even though it fell on the same day as the mother-in-law's 50th birthday, she called her a crybaby. The mother-in-law is now not talking to the couple and her daughters are calling her an a**hole. Was the woman in the right for prioritizing her son's birthday or should she have moved the party to accommodate her mother-in-law's milestone birthday? Read the full story to find out what happened and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Whose birthday is more important? MIL's 50th or son's 1st? 🎂
A clash of two birthdays has caused a rift in the family. One is a milestone birthday and the other is a first birthday. The post_text describes how the MIL loves her birthday and was not pleased when the son was born on the same day. This year, both birthdays fall on a Saturday, and the OP wants to celebrate the son's birthday on that day. However, the MIL insists on having her party on the same day and expects the son's party to be held on another day. The OP thinks the MIL is being unreasonable and immature. The family is now divided, and the daughters have called the OP an a**hole. What do you think? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
Compromise is key. ESH. Baby doesn't care about dates.
