Not every setting is baby-friendly, no matter how much you love the person holding the stroller.

So, what would you do if a close friend brought their infant to your birthday party and the baby cried nonstop for over an hour?

Would you do your best to ignore it?

Or would you pull her to the side and let her know how you feel?

In the following story, one woman finds herself in this exact situation when trying to enjoy her birthday party.

Here’s what happened.

AITA for asking my friend to leave my birthday party because she brought her crying baby?

I (27F) recently threw a birthday party at my apartment.

It was a pretty low-key gathering with about 10 friends, lots of snacks, a couple of drinks, and just a fun night hanging out.

Everything was going fine until my friend, Sarah (28F), showed up with her 7-month-old baby.

Now, I love Sarah, and I know she’s a mom, but I wasn’t expecting her to bring the baby to a party, especially since we had planned to play games, drink, and chat.

The baby started crying almost immediately when they walked in, and Sarah tried to calm her down, but she was clearly struggling.

The baby continued to cry and started making things uncomfortable.

At first, I thought it was just a momentary thing, but the crying continued for almost an hour**…….**super loud and non-stop.

It was hard to hear anything over the noise, and some of the other guests were getting visibly uncomfortable.

I eventually pulled Sarah aside and asked her if she could maybe step outside with the baby or take a break in the other room until the baby calmed down.

I explained that it was just hard to enjoy the party with the crying.

She was clearly upset and told me that I “should be more understanding” since she can’t just leave the baby at home, and she was doing her best to keep her calm.

Sarah left, and now opinions about the situation are mixed.

She ended up leaving shortly after, and now she’s not speaking to me.

I feel bad because I know being a mom is hard, but I also feel like it was my birthday, and I wanted to have a good time without the crying baby.

Some people think I was rude for asking her to leave, while others think I was just trying to protect the vibe of the party.

AITA?

Yikes! That sounds like a nightmare.

Let’s see how the folks over at Reddit feel about this story.

According to this person, it was Sarah’s decision to leave.

Here’s a mother’s perspective.

Yet another mother who doesn’t agree with letting a baby cry.

As this comment mentions, she didn’t even ask before showing up.

This sounds like a misunderstanding.

It almost seems like Sarah took her friend’s suggestion out of context, so maybe if they have a talk, things will get better.
