“Sadly, I have seen this exact level of behavior from many different coworkers.
As soon as the baby was born, they stopped being their own person and just became mothers.”
Millie married and had a kid about two years ago.
The problem is that she always turns down invitations.
In the beginning, I was understanding.
She is a new parent who just doesnt have time to meet up.
“Over time, it got tiring, though.
I don’t understand why it is so difficult to leave to get brunch one day.
She has a partner; it shouldn’t be difficult to be gone for a few hours.
She has missed event after event.”
The last time I saw her was around Christmas."
“So I got engaged and was having a dinner to celebrate.
I decided not to invite her.
She has turned down so many invitations.
I also didn’t want to deal with her trying to change the event or bringing the baby.”
“We went in circles for a bit, and it turned into an argument.
“I told her if she actually cared, she would have shown up to events.
A few hours every month shouldn’t be that difficult.”
People were pretty divided on who was the asshole in this story.
“Your event, your choice.
Invite who you want.
I totally get it,” userampero83said.
This mom agreed.
“Sadly, I have seen this exact level of behavior from many different coworkers.
This user disagreed, saying that maybe Millie wanted to prioritize her family time over having brunch.
You’re the asshole,” userQueenofBnBsaid.
