More and more of these stories are popping up and I'm wondering why.

Here is my take on it.

When I was this child's age, and yes I remember it we did have birthday parties. Usually they were kids on the street we played with every day. Maybe about 5 kids showed up 10 if you were lucky. Certainly not 20 people unless it was relatives.

However I do remember one when I was 4. A girl in my nursery school invited the whole class and most of the kids did show up. I remember burgers and fries were served and I loved the fries.

Grown ups would let us drink all the Pepsi we wanted and back then it had real sugar in it not like today so you know we were bouncing all over the place.

There were no blow up bouncy houses back then. We played other children's games like duck duck goose and tag.

Thing is I know we had parties that young. So why is no one showing up? Are people just rude? Is Mom inviting the wrong people? What is it?

Did she not coordinate with people on whether they were confirmed to attend or not?

my kids had parties every year- sometimes kids that were not invited showed up.
Cake, food, games, prizes.
We never did a big to do b/c we did not have alot of $$ back then. So homemade everything.
My youngest went to Chuck E Cheese for her 21st birthday b/c we never took her as a kid, lol.

A two-year-old’s going on three bday party?

She hasn’t even been to kindergarten yet.

Or nursery school.

Mother spends a lot of money on the party. Stooped money. I’ll gander that whatever circle this mother is in, the other mothers don’t want to expose their children to these kind of moronic expectations.

Maybe people objected to being associated with Disney Groomers, Inc.

Why do so many people feel the need to tell their stupid stories on social media?

3 seems young. Who did she invite? Family? Neighbors? How many friends does a 3 year old have?

It's best to invite only the number of children that match your child's age. 3 year old, invite 3 friends. 16th, invite 16, at most.

Wanna make a bet that the mother is a raging egotist and the reason no kids showed up are because no parents wanted to go? Just posting this story exposes what an ego she has.

My son went to a birthday party once where he was the only guest that showed up. For some reason the other classmates might not have liked the birthday boy, or maybe the other parents didn’t like the mother? I have no idea. We liked the boy and his parents. But some of the people at the elementary school could be cliquish.

Entitlement much?

I once held a marketing event once, planned, prepared, spent money... and no one showed up. Instead of bitching at the world, I tried to figure out what I did wrong rather than what’s wrong with my non-existent new clients.

Back in the ‘50s little kids had birthday parties with the kids classmates and friends. It was pretty much a free for all with cake and ice-cream games and prizes. No themes or presents required.

They were probably in the middle of a video game.

A three-year-old’s birthday party should be a family affair or for close relatives at best.

I’m thinking they’re faking it, calling the paper, and using it for sympathy dollars.

This is reminiscent of a short story from 1936 - “Bella Fleace Gave a Party” by Evelyn Waugh. Bella died never realizing she’d neglected to send out the invitations.

1. Who the heck cares and why is it "news"
2. It's probably a completely made up party with no invites sent so this person can get people to feel sorry for her and her (maybe real) 3 year old so they will send money and gifts and increase her tik tok revenue.

Maybe the child is badly socialized?

Maybe mom is a jerk?

Maybe she did not send out invitations?

“When I was this child’s age, and yes I remember it we did have birthday parties.”

You can actually remember stuff from when you were two years and one day old? I’m super impressed.
Anyway, the Mom actually threw the party for herself. She used her kids birthday as a reason to garner “look at ME” points. I wonder how many of the invitees actually have children?

It’s an attempt to show how bigoted everyone is for their LGBTXYZPDQ boycott of Disney.

Back when her child was born, most kids were not getting birthday parties, and were instead being permanently scarred by Fauci- and media-enforced isolation.
