After A Little Girl Started Throwing Tantrums At Her Daughter’s 10th Birthday Party, She Asked This Girl And Her Mom To Leave
A 35-year-old mom has a daughter, Alicia, who just celebrated her 10th birthday last week. This weekend, she threw Alicia a party at a place that had bouncy houses and an indoor trampoline.
One girl Alicia insisted on inviting to her party is Quinn, and this mom is not a fan of Quinn or Quinn’s mom Liz.
“I do not like Liz because she spoils Quinn to the point that she’s impossible to discipline, she doesn’t listen, and is very self-centered,” she explained.
“Quinn is so spoiled that she throws tantrums whenever the attention isn’t on her, so I was afraid this would be an issue at the party but Alicia really wanted her there.”
“So Alicia gets her cake and Liz actually asked me if Quinn could blow out the candles with my daughter because her daughter was about to pitch a fit.”
She declined, and Alicia didn’t want that either. As soon as they had said it wasn’t going to happen, Quinn burst into tears.
Luckily, all the rest of the partygoers paid no attention to Quinn, and they enjoyed their cake. Then, it was time to open presents, and Quinn’s behavior escalated.
“Quinn threw a full-blown tantrum when she saw Alicia opening all her presents from her family and friends,” she said.
“She screamed about wanting one of Alicia’s gifts and how it wasn’t fair how she was “getting everything.” It was so embarrassing because even people outside of our party room heard.”

Alicia clearly was getting frustrated as she attempted to thank people over Quinn’s loud outburst, but many people couldn’t even hear Alicia thanking them at all, as Quinn was being that distracting.
One parent stood up and said that maybe it was time for all the kids to go play in an effort to divert everyone out of there, as Quinn continued yelling.
Quinn refused to play with the rest of the kids and sulked in the corner instead. When it was just her, Quinn, and Liz in the room, she let Liz know it was time for her to leave, because Alicia’s party was now turning into all about Quinn/
“I said that Quinn obviously didn’t want to be there because the day wasn’t about her, so it would make sense to just leave,” she continued.
“Liz tried to say she would calm Quinn down but I wouldn’t even let her speak. I demanded that she leave and went out to watch my daughter play.”
“My husband (he was on his way, he was coming later on) told me that I should have just let Quinn stay instead of causing a scene and adding to the drama because Alicia was still having a good time.”
She feels that Alicia couldn’t have been happy with Quinn constantly misbehaving at her party, and she’s pretty sure she made the right choice.
However, what her husband said has been weighing on her and she’s curious if she did do the right thing by kicking Liz and Quinn out.
Do you think she handled things in the best way?
