Two friends, one is doing something awesome for the other for her birthday, and the birthday girl is being extremely ungrateful! She keeps trying to contorl how its being done and worrying about everything as if the other friend has no clue what she is doing. The friend doing the gift so to say, even agrees the birthday girl is being ungrateful, but is still going through with it. Do i say something to the birthday girl or stya out of it? They are both dear friends i hate to upset either one but cant stand to see anyone treated that way.

If they are close friends, they will find a compromise. Friendship is a two-way street and it's supposed to stay that way. And being a third party, I would intervene with the issue if i were a hundred percent sure that it would help fix it; otherwise I'd just allow them to fix it up by themselves. After all, nature has it's own way of putting things back into order.

I think you may be correct, because me opening my mouth isnt guaranteed to change anything, so i will prob just stay out of it..but when its all over if she is still acting ungrateful i will prob have to open my mouth..thanks

have your say.. hi friend welcome . it is like this if you are feeling the heat, give vent to it. dont wait. use your common sense and the sense of timing.and say it. since both are friendly to you you can not just tolerate what is going on in front of you. all the best

I would suggest just put in a word and leave it at that. Trying to take sides sometimes can worsen the situation. The one is doing the gifting is obviously a true friend. the birthday girl will realise the meaning in due course.
