[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like the type of woman who throws herself birthday dinners and expects others to pay, probably had a big expensive bachelorette party, expected a push gift, gossips incessantly, has hired a professional photographer for an engagement photoshoot, and has "live, laugh, love" hanging on a sponge painted wall somewhere in your house. Congrats on the baby, but get over yourself. [/quote]

Well, if I were to throw myself a big birthday dinner, is it wrong for me to expect that the attention would be on ME?  Or should I just suck it up when one of the guests chooses to announce her impressive job promotion - thus stealing my thunder?  If my fiance and I have an engagement party, should we simply expect another (more beautiful!) couple to stand up and announce their engagement, too?

It all gets so very ridiculous.

[/quote] Having a birthday? Not really an accomplishment. Just an excuse for a party, which is fine.

Getting a job promotion or something? Adult accomplishment.

Seriously? People need to learn to live life and enjoy the moments they're in, rather than trying to control and plan everything so much that there is no flexibility or room for spontaneity.[/quote]
