She Had An Awful Birthday Because Of The Guilt Trip Her Parents Put Her Through For Not Inviting Them To Her Small Party
Have you ever had a relative ruin one of your birthdays? Whether it was because of family drama or some other incident, a fun birthday celebration can easily go downhill if someone is in the mood to start some chaos.
One woman recently had an awful birthday because of the guilt trip her parents put her through for not inviting them to her small party.
She recently turned 27 and wanted a laid-back birthday with those she’s closest to. Her birthday was on a Saturday, so she wanted to have a party with 12 friends on Friday and enjoy some cheap food by a waterfront area with her two sisters and best friend on her actual birthday afterward.
On that Friday, she got a call from her mom, who asked about her plans. She arranged to briefly see her mom before having dinner with her sisters and friend on Saturday night.
“I get a call from my sisters after about how my mother came home yelling about not being invited to be with us,” she recalled.
Then, in their family group chat, her mom sent a message that she made a dinner reservation for their entire family for 7:00 pm on Saturday night.
She responded that she didn’t appreciate her mother making birthday plans for her and didn’t want to attend the dinner reservation.
That’s when she started getting bombarded by her dad, who sent her multiple angry, guilt-tripping text messages. He said she made her mom cry for an entire day and told her she was unbelievable.
“When I responded explaining what happened, he ignored me and declined my calls,” she said.

“I sent 30 texts to my parents individually and together, explaining I am happy to celebrate with them but didn’t appreciate them changing my plans without telling me or asking me.”
“Once [the] party started, my mother sent me hundreds of texts about how she’s never been hurt so bad in her life except for by me.”
Throughout what was supposed to be a fun birthday party, she received non-stop messages from her mom, who was trying to make her feel bad.
She spent most of the party crying in the bathroom and couldn’t pull herself together until around 10:30 pm when she finally decided to turn off her phone. At midnight, her mom texted her a dry Happy Birthday message and said she didn’t want to see her the following day.
On the day of her birthday, she sent many apology texts to her parents and booked a dinner reservation with them even though she didn’t want to. They told her they felt like they didn’t have a family that morning, but she showed up to please them anyway.
This incident is finally beginning to blow over with her parents, who still claim to be hurt by it all and never apologized to her.
Do her parents owe her an apology for how they reacted to her birthday plans?
