EmeraldTur11 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 So I had a birthday recently, and overall everything was just disappointment after disappointment. When I woke up, there was no fancy breakfast like we usually do (for literally any other event). I just got to make myself scrambled eggs. We opened presents, but my parents only got me the pair of earbuds and hairbrush that I picked off Amazon. My sibling got me a new mouse that I told them I needed the day before. It felt like no thought was put into picking something out that I would really like. I just got exactly what I told them. My parents didn't let me leave the house all day. They had me stay inside, stuck on my computer studying for a test. No one took me out to get lunch like we do for other birthdays. We usually go out to(within reason) fancy restaurant for dinners. I told my mom where I wanted to go and she said no, we were going to a different place that we had a coupon for. I didn't even get to order what I wanted because I had to use the coupon on my meal. I usually make my family really nice, fancy desserts. I've made plenty of cheesecakes, and spent hours decorating German chocolate cakes so that they are perfect. (All from scratch btw) I didn't think it was right to have to make my own birthday cake, so I told my mom what I wanted and she promised to make it for me. She ended up using a box mix, and canned frosting. My dad wouldn't let her use most of the frosting because he dosent like it and thinks the cake part is better, even though all I asked of the cake was that it had a normal amount of frosting on it. We watched my parents favorite TV show that night. (Which happens to be my absolute least favorite one) , and when I asked if I could pick becuase, you know, my birthday, I got a snotty remark about how I don't get to pick everything the way I like it. None of my friends texted me to say happy birthday. Despite the fact that one of them had a birthday 3 days before mine, and I delivered a gift to her house along with texting her as soon as I woke up. I still haven't heard anything from any of them. I know birthdays aren't that big of a deal for most households, and I'm probably being selfish, but this is typically my one day where I get to feel special and have things the way I like them. I feel really let down by everyone on a day that should have been mine. Is it okay to want the same amount of effort put into your events as you put into others? Link to comment
EmeraldTur11 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 I also feel it's important to add that everything I talked about are things that we do for my siblings and parents on their birthdays. I didn't mention anything that would be out of the ordinary to have happen on a birthday in my house. Just the breakfast, gifts, lunch, (short) family outing, dinner, and cake. Link to comment
