An 18-year-old celebrates their birthday at a restaurant with family, but plans change due to their sister-in-law's seafood allergy. They end up going to an Italian restaurant, which the birthday girl hates. She ends up miserable and sneaks her own snacks in. Later, she catches her sister-in-law eating tuna and confronts her. SIL admits to faking her food allergy and ruining the birthday dinner. The birthday girl storms out and blocks her brother and sister-in-law on everything. Her family thinks she's being dramatic and entitled. Was she the AH?

Fake allergy ruins 18th birthday 🎂
Turning 18 is a milestone for many people, but for one girl, it was a birthday to forget. After planning a special dinner at her favorite Chinese restaurant, her sister-in-law claimed to have a seafood allergy, forcing the family to change plans to an Italian restaurant, which the birthday girl does not enjoy. But things took a turn when the girl unexpectedly visited her brother's house and discovered her sister-in-law eating tuna, revealing that the allergy was a lie. The girl confronts her sister-in-law and blocks her and her brother on all communication channels. Now, the girl's family is calling her entitled and urging her to apologize. What do you think? Was the girl in the wrong for reacting so strongly or was her sister-in-law's fake allergy out of line? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
