Gatecrashing Woman Makes A Scene At A Private Party Over “A Sandwich” For Her Children
Interview With ExpertRefusing to take “No” for an answer can be a double-edged sword. While it may be a sign of persistence and determination, it can also come across as selfishness, apathy, and arrogance, which would immediately turn people off.

Scroll down for the entire story that may make you shake your head in disappointment and wonder how some humans can act so questionably.

Many people have a misguided notion about persistence
There are several reasons why people struggle to accept a ‘no’ for an answer. Most experts would likely point to a possible narcissistic personality disorder or the person being constantly enabled, but there are other deep-seated reasons.
According to relationship therapist Dr. Candice Cooper-Lovett, many people don’t like the feeling of rejection. Another reason could be that they have a misguided notion about persistence.
As Dr. Candice tells Bored Panda, some people may see a no as another form of “maybe,” which urges them to push harder until the other person gives in.
“Over time, this becomes their default of getting their way, getting what they want or need, even if it strains relationships,” she explained.
Mary Kate Murray, who has worked with families dealing with addiction, says the resistance to rejection may also be a form of anxiety management. As she explained, everyone has their way of mitigating these anxious feelings, and for other people, it’s refusing to take no for an answer.

Consistency in boundary setting makes dealing with these difficult people less of a headache
It’s nearly impossible to win against someone who continues to push the issue despite being downright wrong. However, life isn’t always about winning, and there will be moments when a different approach is more effective.
Setting boundaries is necessary when dealing with the entitled behavior exhibited by the woman in the story. However, consistency in how it is imposed is essential.
Licensed therapist Shameka L. Mitchell emphasizes the importance of firmness in conveying the message and escalating the response if necessary. Regarding the latter, she clarified that it is all about decreasing or cutting off interactions altogether as opposed to speaking louder.
Mitchell also brought up a key point: “There is no need to feel guilty for protecting your space, your person, or your resources.”
Cognitive behavioral therapist Natalie Jay Campbell shared a similar statement, emphasizing the importance of following through with the boundaries you set.
“The minute you don’t honor your own boundaries, you have taught the other person that they don’t mean anything,” Campbell stated.
Fortunately, the author firmly stood their ground, even after the woman nearly caused a ruckus amongst children. The situation was handled the way it should have been.

But at least they're amusing. I go looking for the yta nutter responses for a laugh on these stories.

It's possible in the UK (and I believe elsewhere) to do this amazing thing which in our house we refer to as "pack a snack bag". A sandwich can easily be included in this. It's a great method for staving off hanger in children and saves the embarrassment of asking for freebies or the inconvenience of paying above the norm at a venue.
The tone made me laugh - sarcasm with that thin veneer of helpfulness. In North America, we have the term "brown-bagging it".
Load More Replies...YTAs need to go and get fucked. If you're honestly desperate for food; you wouldn't be going to a random bowling place; you'd be going to a food bank. If a bowling alley and a random kid's party is your first go-to, you obviously have issues beyond not being able to afford food.
Interesting that the “YTA Feed the children” crowd seem largely from the US. The land that generally doesn’t like collective healthcare, school meals, etc. and decries Europe’s “communism” 🤔
As an American I can tell you we wouldn’t be feeding the kids of a crazy woman who burst into a private party and starts screaming. Especially one for 5 year old kids. I’d be on the phone to the cops after the first time her ignoring being asked to leave. And furious with the venue for its lack of security in a child’s space.
Load More Replies...It is absolutely unbelievable how greedy and entitled parents are becoming. It's both disgusting and frightening.
This whole concept, could have fed two kids, is ridiculous. The other Mom saw an opportunity for free food. She could have brought her own, or took her kids out afterward. Everybody saying it's just two kids, or some BS that they'd be happy to make two more kids on top of 20 at the party, let's see what you're saying when everybody else at the public soft play expects to be fed, and you run out of food for your guests.
No Karen just because you're an entitled witch doesn't mean that you're entitled to my kids private birthday party. People seriously need to think about what they're teaching their kids with that kind of behavior.
Yes, kids should be fed... by their mother where several options were available. But she chose to be rude and entitled then throw the fingers at a private event she was gatecrashed. Hope lessons were learned by her and her kids.
From the uk here , yes we do get those entitled ah,s normally they are rich n don’t need money to , I’ve taken my kids to those soft play loads ,they aren’t expensive , to the nasty tha as said if they can afford to take their kids there we in uk NOT AMERICA!! we dont rip people off ! and I’ve also taken them to parties there , when they were younger , the parties are normally sectioned off for food , well in the chelt one it was , ace places to to over the winter ,when the weather is bad , and I’ve never had this happen thank god , ( don’t like the sound of prison food lol) but this entitled biatch needs teaching a lesson ,it’s NOT EXPENSIVE there neither is the food ffs buy your own food for em , or take sarnies with you 🤷♀️I’m with op here ,NTA that inhuman was vile !! n god help her kids going forward pfft , cos they are gonna be evil little brats !! I’d love to know which part of uk op is in , ? But I can assure u we ain’t all like that , well done op for standing your ground x
I would have looked at the children and said "Please come over here. Your mother is being rude to demand I give you food I brought for a private party. I'm sorry you have had to see her act so poorly. That you have seen the food and probably want some, I'm going to give you each a sample. Don't be rude and demanding when you grow up." Then I have handed them a half a sandwich each.
