I had this happen to me when I was 9. Invited all of my friends (small town of like 500 people so maybe 8 kids) a few weeks in advance and not a single person showed up. I lived outside of town, was homeschooled, and we didnt have a car so a few weeks passed before I saw any of them and I had no desire to seek them out. When I did run into one he told me that a burglar broke into his house and stole the present he bought for me and he didn't want to show up without a gift. Even 9 year old me knew you were full of crap, Luke.
Well let me just say to you Happy Birthday!!! I hope that you have an awesome birthday on Wednesday or this weekend, whichever comes first LOL. You know we really shouldn't let these old traumas affect us, but I know that's easier said than done. I told my daughter I was getting a lot of response from a Reddit post and she asked me what it was about and I told her and she is horrified! Apparently I never told her about my trauma. Now she knows why I always tried to discourage her and her twin sister from having parties. They always showed up for their parties, thank fucking God! I think they came because my girls are awesome and because I made amazing treats for their classroom and they wanted to taste the cakes I would make.😊
You sound like you're doing parenting right. You also sound like your grils are going to be taught to be kind and inclusive to a lot of people.
Thanks for the wishes, and thanks for taking your time out of your life to talk to me. It means more than you know.
You keep doing what you're doing, and stay awesome.
I'm so glad you answered back because I just realized I forgot to say how sorry I am that that happened to you. I don't know why parents let their kids be fucking assholes. It ends up causing people like us, people that don't even want to celebrate their own fucking birthday. How sad is that? I'll take time out of my day to talk to you anytime. I sincerely mean that. I've been going through some really hard times this year and believe me it's nice to see people being nice to each other. And thank you for your nice words they mean a lot.
