A mom-to-be shared how her brother tried to hijack her baby shower by proposing during the event, even after she told him “no” multiple times. On the day of the shower, he began kneeling during a toast, so she calmly stopped him, reminding everyone the celebration was for the baby. His girlfriend fled in embarrassment, he stormed out, and the family argued afterward—with some praising her boundary and others blaming her.
When her brother insisted she had ruined his “only chance,” she sent him a bill for half the event costs since he tried to make it “his day, too.” He refused, but his girlfriend privately apologized and admitted she never wanted a proposal at the shower. Commenters overwhelmingly agreed the brother was wrong and that proposals at someone else’s event are tacky. Family drama aside, the mom-to-be just wants her “no” to actually mean something.
