Video Food and Drink Recipes to Throw the Best Kentucky Derby Party
Tim Laird, CEO and Chief Entertainment Officer of America, joins “Fox & Friends” to share his pro tips for throwing a Kentucky Derby-themed party, plus creative drink and food ideas.
One Reddit user shared a dramatic situation that has sparked heated discussions about what is considered acceptable behavior at a birthday party, including questions about cake, children, and family etiquette.
“I just went to my girlfriend's mom's birthday party,” one social media user shared.
“We ordered an expensive cake for her and split the cost three ways with her sisters.”
The man added that his girlfriend's brother, “who never contributes to the general gifts, came with his capricious two-year-old.”
“While everyone was singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ the little boy started sticking his hands into the cake, licking them and tearing off the decorations,” the man said.

The man said he “looked around in horror” but his brother and his wife “just smiled like it was the cutest thing in the world and the rest of us were completely calm and didn't say a word.”
The user noted that he “bit his tongue and didn’t say anything either.”
“People would say, 'Oh, poor thing!' and give him cake.”
However, he eventually “reached out and moved the cake a few inches away from the baby.”
The man reported that the child “started throwing himself about and screaming like crazy. Everyone looked at me like I was the most evil [person] on earth for doing this and rushed to calm the baby down.”
“People would say, 'Oh, poor thing,'” the man continued, “and they would give him cake.”
The man said he then “calmly and logically” explained to the others that “what the child was doing was highly inappropriate, it wasn't his birthday cake, and he was old enough to know that he should wait literally one minute to get a piece of cake instead of ruining someone else's birthday cake and covering it in his germs.”
“You moved the cake and the baby had a tantrum. [The family] seemed to be okay with it. Even though it was gross.” (iStock)
The man said he had now been told he had “ruined a birthday party” and that “the whole family was reacting”, he added.
“It makes me wonder if I 'm just a grumpy jerk,” he continued, asking others to weigh in.
So far, about 6,000 people have responded to the post, but not everyone has expressed support for the man and his actions.
“They are the ones who decide whether they approve of the baby's behavior or not.”
One person wrote: “You moved the cake and the toddler had a tantrum. He seemed fine with it. Even if it was unpleasant.”
The same person added: “If they are okay with what the baby does, then I will NEVER eat anything from your girlfriend or her family. You don't know what else they think is okay.”
Another commentator expressed a different view.
“When family members gather in someone else's home, they are the ones who decide whether they approve of the child's behavior or not,” the person wrote.
“You didn't [make a mistake] moving the cake – many people would instinctively do the same thing,” the same person added.
