Mum branded 'show-off' for giving kid a present at another child's birthday party

For most people, a birthday party is a chance to celebrate one person's special day and make them the centre of attention as they get to unwrap presents and eat cake. But one mum has caused a scene at a child's party after she decided she wanted to give her own daughter a present too - even though it wasn't her day.

The mum explained she had ordered a Nintendo Switch for her nine-year-old daughter, Stephie, that she intended to give to her at her birthday party, but she was unable to pick it up until the following day. On the day she collected the present, Stephie was due to attend her friend Jolene's birthday party, and rather than wait until the party was over, the mum decided to hand Stephie her expensive present in front of all the other children.
