WWSND: Am I irrationally irriated? (long)

[Deleted]

A while ago friend G sent out an email to a few people asking if we wanted to do a surprise joint bday bbq for 2 friends that have birthdays within 2 days of each other. We all replied and said yes.

One of the birthday people's BFF's (R) got wind of this and, basically, sent me and G a nasty gram over FB saying that she was mad/upset/hurt that she wasn't included in the planning and that she wanted to do something special for one of the bday people. At this point G replied and said that R wasn't left out intentionally and that R and the birthday person could still do something special. Following R's message I told G that R was more passionate about planning the party and since she wanted to do it, I would bow out on the planning portion, since we had too many people to plan.

FF over the next 6 weeks and R does nothing to help G. G reached out to me a few times for help and I stayed out of it as much as I could, unless specially called me out for help. Yesterday G send out an email to all of the "hosts" (I don't know why I'm still included in the email, but whatevs) and asks for the hosts to chip in to buy all of the meat (burgers and hot dogs) for the party.

R writes back and says, "we'll bring ketchup, relish, mayo and games"

G reached out to me this morning and says he needs help running errands and stuff, but I don't want R to pitch another fit, especially since R isn't planning a special day for the bday person anymore. However, I feel bad for G because he's, basically, doing this whole thing alone now and could use the help.

I'm really irritated with R now.

WWSND? Do I help or not?

I would help if you are able to. It's not G's fault that R is being an idiot. And it sucks that all that is falling on G.

Sounds like the issue is really between G & R. If possible, I'd try and help G out but stay out of the rest of the drama. Hope R doesn't zap the fun out of the party!

That is annoying, but I would help G since it's not his fault R sucks at life. If R starts bitching, I would do my best to ignore her.

however.. R is ridiculous and needs a be told to stop acting like a child.

I would help G out if I were able to. R definitely needs to stop being such a child and help with what they said they were going to do.

Thanks guys.

I emailed G and told him that I could help, but told him not to tell R. Super high school drama. Blech.
