Her In-Laws Asked What Birthday Cake Flavor She Wanted, Then Berated Her For Her Choice And Refused To Get It
This young woman is turning twenty-two years old in just a few days, and her boyfriend’s mother, sister, and a family friend all asked her what flavor of birthday cake she preferred.
She and her boyfriend have a one-month-old son together and currently live in his family’s basement– which is why they were inquiring about the cake flavor in the first place.
Still, since she is an adult now and has never really had a formal birthday party, she did not really put much thought into the flavor of cake she wanted.
But, after they kept pressing her, she naturally just asked for her favorite dessert flavor– red velvet.
“It was my absolute favorite, and I don’t get to eat it a lot– like once every five years– just because I don’t think about it much,” she said.
“Plus, I don’t eat sweets often, so I was thinking, why not?”
Afterward, though, the four women began literally lecturing her about how her choice was an inadequate flavor.
Apparently, they brought up the fact that other people would be eating the cake. So, they believed she should pick a flavor that everyone could enjoy.
Then, she did try to concede. She offered to get a big vanilla or chocolate cake since those flavors are classic and something that most people would enjoy. And for herself, she proposed getting a very small “first birthday” type of red velvet cake.

The group was not satisfied with that compromise, though. Instead, they began calling her selfish and saying it would be rude to the other guests to eat a different cake. She refused to back down, though, being that it was her birthday, and she believed that since they asked, she should be able to pick the flavor of the cake.
So afterward, she was left wondering if declining to change her cake flavor preference was a jerky thing to do– especially after the group was trying to throw her first real birthday party ever.
“I did not want to be rude to the people who were ‘nice’ enough to throw me a party,” she explained.
But, thankfully, the feeling quickly dissipated after her boyfriend arrived at home a few hours later– because he went on to tell his family off.
And afterward, she decided to cancel the party planned by her in-laws altogether. Instead, she, her boyfriend, and a few of their friends just went out to dinner together. Then, the friends went back to her apartment afterward to hang out.
“Then, just as I was about to go to bed, everyone began to sing, and a red velvet cake with my name on it came dancing out,” she recalled.
So, after everything, do you believe that her in-laws were way too overbearing about the birthday cake flavor? How would you have reacted in her situation? Do you think her birthday turned out the way it was meant to?
