A woman was left furious after her mum organised a party for 50 people at her house without asking – and was then left in tears when she was banned from holding it there
A woman has been left flabbergasted after her mum organised a party at her house without asking for permission, leading to an epic family fallout. The Redditor’s mother arranged the bash for herself and around 50 of her ‘close’ friends at her daughter’s home without discussing it with her first.
This resulted in staff being asked to leave the property and the mother becoming extremely upset.
The woman is now questioning whether she went too far by threatening her mother with legal action. Sharing her story on social media, she said: “My mum planned a party for her and 50 or so of her ‘close’ friends at my and my husband’s house without telling us.”
“She thought it was alright because I previously let her host my grandma’s birthday here. I knew she was having this get together for weeks but never did she mention it was at my house until she called me three days before the party to tell me some random guys were delivering things to my house for her party.”
She continued: “I asked her who she asked for permission to use our house and she said no one. She thought she was free to do so because it’s her daughter’s house and the hall she booked fell through. I think that’s BS so I called my sister before my mum got to her and asked what hall my mum booked and she was confused and said the party was planned to be at my house from the beginning.
“I then rang (she didn’t answer) and texted my mum, telling her she’s not having her gathering at my house. I don’t want strangers in my home or my garden or my pool. My husband also messaged her to say no, but she didn’t respond.
“We texted my mum on WhatsApp, but we couldn’t tell if she’d read the messages because she has her read receipts turned off. So I told my sister, who was on a call with her, to tell her we said no. Yesterday, a delivery van arrived to drop things off for the party tomorrow. They had no idea who I was because my mum lied and said it was her house.
“They started unloading things without even speaking to me first, so I explained the situation to them. They weren’t understanding at all because they hadn’t been paid, so I threatened to call the police. This worked, and they left.”
“Today, my mum’s party planner came for a walk-through, and I told her this is my house. I have not given permission and will sue her if she comes back, and she left. The caterer also came by to look at our kitchens, and I told him the same thing. He was so confused because yet again, my mum lied and said it was her house.
“My mum called me a few minutes ago, in tears because she’s realised her party is not happening at my house, ever. She said this party is important because it’s her opportunity to get herself back out there. She’s basically planned a party so she can find guys to date.
“I’m speechless, the audacity my mom has, has left me speechless. I hung up on her because she was going on a rant, not listening to me and trying to manipulate me because she nearly died in child birth, I wasn’t even the one being delivered. My other sister being the kiss a** she is called and asked on mom’s behalf, I told her to have the party at her house and hung up.”

People reading the entitled Reddit post were shocked anyone could be so rude. One person replied: “Not much surprises me anymore but this is ballsy! Kudos to you for standing your ground!” Another user added: “OMG this just absolutely blows my mind!! She just ignored you the first few times that you said ‘no!’ It’s shocking that she just planned this whole thing without your permission. She was wayyyyyy out of line.”
While someone else stated: “The inimitable gall of your mother! Talk about entitled! So glad you shut her down hard. This will be embarrassing for her because I bet there will be a few who try to show up, and she deserves it. To lie about a hall falling through and just planning a party without permission?!! Long period or permanent no contact and I would never trust her again.”
