A parent was upset with her daughter's best friend's mother and took to Reddit's AITA subreddit, "Am I the A**hole" to make her case.

Ann was a Redditor by aitanutandstraw. She explained that her daughter's best friends ate a Nutella-laden birthday cake, which resulted in a quick visit to the hospital. This was the mother of the friend.

Let's get to the point.

AITA For Serving Nutella Cake?

Ann writes about Emma, her seven-year-old daughter, and Kat, her seven year old best friend. Each girl is allergic to something the other girl likes. Ann explains that Emma is allergic strawberry, Kat loves nuts, and Kat loves Emma hazelnut and Nutella. This is crucial information for the drama about to unfold.

Ann wrote that Emma had received an invitation from Kat four months ago to her birthday party. She accepted it. "I asked Kat's mother if Emma needed anything, and she assured me that everything was fine."

Ann and Emma were surprised to discover that everything at Kat's party was strawberry-themed, despite this. Emma couldn't eat any of the strawberry-themed food because it contained strawberries. Ann stated that Kat was her birthday present and she and her daughter left no trace to Emma's allergic reaction.

Ann wrote to Emma that Emma wanted Nutella cake for her birthday. Ann wanted to accommodate Emma's best friend Kat who can't eat nuts so she made sure there were other options.

"I have warned Kat’s mum that the cake would contain Nutella, but cupcakes or other desserts are nut free." This story is set in the USA. It is important to remember that Nutella is marketed as a chocolate spread in Ann’s country. She wanted Kat's mom to be well informed to avoid any issues.

Kat's mom was well aware of the danger, but things didn't go according to plan. Emma's mom stated that Kat's mother forgot Nutella contained nuts, and let Kat eat a piece while my husband and I were not looking.

Ann claims Kat's mom was furious with her and used a few harsh words. Ann accused her of "getting back to her" for throwing the strawberry-themed party. Emma was also angered by her rantings. Emma then took responsibility for her friend's problems.

Who is to blame?

Who was in the Wrong?

Commenters seemed puzzled by the whole birthday drama. Most comments jumped to Ann’s defense and concluded that she wasn’t in the wrong.

One commenter joked, "Ah, yes. Yes. It is easy to forget Nutella has nuts. You are responsible for reminding her four more times and then checking on the cake.

Many commenters challenged Kat's mom's motives, calling them "creepy" or "weird". One even wrote, "You don't forget after hearing something like that."

Many people in the community found it odd that Kat's mom hosted a strawberry party, despite Emma being allergic. Ann was not informed in advance. Rumours suggest that Kat was made to eat Nutella cake by her mom. "She might have felt ashamed at the Strawberry party and wanted to make Ann look worse than she actually was."

Some commenters disagreed, saying that everyone is a suck here. It's important to not take allergy seriously. Even on your birthday, a slice of cake could literally spell the end for your best friend.

One person wrote, "I would almost say [everyone is in the wrong] for making a nut cake at all knowing the allergic kid will be there." Another repeated those sentiments, "Do you and Emma's mom low key hate each other passive-aggressively, throwing allergy-themed parties for your kids who are friends?"

Would Emma's mother call you if she bought a Nutella birthday cake for her daughter when her best friend is allergic? You can decide.
