Priorities

Today, I was at a friend's birthday party when I got a call from my mom telling me to come home because my dog died. When I told my friend that I had to leave because of the loss, she replied with, "Okay, but you brought my gift inside, right?" FML

When my friends and I have birthday parties we don't even gift things to each other because we realize that the only thing that matters is spending a good time together. What she did was really selfish and childish. I'm sorry for your loss OP, if that had been me in your shoes I would have taken the gift with me, since my dog is an important part of my life. Be strong.

I hope you took your gift and left. She doesn't deserve it if she cares about the gift more than you.

Dude sorry for your lose, but that would be sort of expected since it would be awkward if you didn't leave the gift, cause then he might think you didn't get him one, making you look like a dick.

If you expect your friend's reaction to be "What about the stuff you were supposed to buy me?" upon hearing that your beloved companion died, you need new friends.

Completely ignoring the fact that your friend is materialistic and a little cold hearted, here's where I stand: I get that your dog died and it's really sad, blah, blah, blah, I don't understand why your mom would call you. Its not like there is anything you can do, the dog's dead. A good parent, I think, would let their kid enjoy the party and tell them when they got home. It doesn't change how dead the dog is by sharing the news earlier.

The death was very unexpected, and I think my mom was just kind of freaking out in the moment not knowing what to do. I see where you're coming from though!

@42 - Personally, I hold my dogs very dear to my heart, if I lost one of them while I wasn't home and my mum didn't tell me because she wanted to "let their kid enjoy the party" I would be very upset. For many people, their dogs are their best friends, nothing beats unconditional love. To me, that's like having my best (human) friend dying, and nobody telling me because they wanted me to enjoy myself. Even though the dog has passed, it doesn't change anything, we grieve for our lost friend, not stay out and party. This person's mother is not a bad parent because she didn't want her kid to come home to dead dog, I would much rather get a phone call letting me know what happened, than to come home after staying out all night, and my family tell me "Hope you had fun tonight! -By the way, your dog died. I didn't tell you because I wanted you to continue having a good night, and you know, be a bad mum for not letting you enjoy yourself.."
