She Blamed Her Mom For Ruining Her Birthday Party Because She Invited Her Own Friends And A Rowdy Little Kid Who Wouldn’t Stop Misbehaving
Have you ever had your birthday party ruined because someone you didn’t want to show up did anyway?
One teenager recently had her 18th birthday party plans wrecked after her mom insisted she invite her own friends, including one who brought a rowdy six-year-old.
She recently turned 18 and originally had plans to enjoy a nice lunch with her closest friends as a celebration. However, her parents wanted her to do something more special, so they told her she could have a party at their house.
“I didn’t mind and told them I’d be happy to have everyone together at the party,” she said.
“It was all going well until my mom told me she also invited her friends to my birthday party. I didn’t want them there because I didn’t know them well enough, and it was just supposed to be people close to me. But she was stubborn about inviting them.”
She eventually told her mom they could set two arrival times for the party. Her mom’s friends would show up at noon, and then her friends would show up at 2:00 pm. That way, she’d have time to greet and hang out with her mom’s friends and then turn all her attention towards her friends when they arrived.
While that was a good plan, it fell apart on the day of the party. None of her mom’s friends showed up on time and didn’t start arriving until her friends were. She was annoyed but didn’t want to make a scene, so she didn’t say anything.
Unfortunately, things only got worse at the party.
“One of the guests’ daughter, [who’s] around 6 years old, wouldn’t leave me alone,” she recalled.

“She clung to me the entire time. Her parents insisted on having her cut my cake. Then, she started smashing the cake with her bare hands, wiping her snot on the new dress I was wearing, which was my birthday gift, and even spat on the food.”
The little girl’s parents never disciplined her but encouraged her. At one point, the little girl’s mom turned off the music she was playing for her friends and put on children’s music so her daughter could do a dance for the party.
Although her dad wasn’t enthusiastic about her mom’s friends being at the party either, he didn’t do anything to put an end to the chaos, as he had too much to drink throughout the occasion.
By the time the party was over, she felt like she hardly had any time with her friends, and the day had turned into a mess.
She held it together until everyone left when she started crying and told her mom she had ruined her birthday party.
“She took it as me blaming her for everything,” she explained.
“She started telling me how ungrateful of a child I am and that I didn’t even deserve to have a birthday party. I don’t even know what to tell her anymore.”
Was she being ungrateful, or should her mom apologize to her for taking over her party?
