It’s her birthday too, you know! It can be tough to share a birthday with a major holiday. I have a friend who was born the day before 9/11, and people always tell her how lucky she is that she missed that birthday by a hair. While she’s also grateful that her birthday isn’t 9/11, …

Entitled birthday girl sends back the $120 her friend spent on her birthday sushi dinner because she found the celebration underwhelming: ‘I was expecting more of a proper celebration’
Not everybody wants a big to-do on their birthday. If you’re an introvert with a small friend group, a small get-together at a modest restaurant is the perfect way to commemorate being one year older. But that won’t satisfy everyone, and it’s not a crime to say exactly what kind of birthday party you want. …

13-year-old lashes out at class clown for ruining birthday cake, dad clashes with ex-wife who demands she apologize: ‘At 12 years old, she should know better’
Going to school can be a difficult experience for kids for a number of reasons, and quite often, that reason is the other kids. It is very common for them to feel like they don’t get along with their classmates, they don’t behave nicely towards them, or they are simply annoying to be around and …

67-year-old grandma wears bikini to her 19-year-old granddaughter’s birthday party, gets scolded by her 44-year-old daughter: ‘Brigitte told me it was inappropriate for a woman my age to wear that in front a bunch of college-aged youngsters’
Women are constantly policed about what we wear, no matter what age we are. I was being told my shorts were too short before I was even double digits. Even if someone doesn’t directly say, «You need to change into different clothing,» women and girls are judged and heavily socially encouraged to dress a specific …

Parents berate mom for feeding their kids cake and soda at her son’s 6th birthday party: ‘If you don’t stay at the party or say anything about dietary restrictions, can you really be upset afterward?’
I don’t care how healthy your family is: you should let your kid have birthday cake. I’m not saying you can’t restrict your kid’s diet at all, especially if they’re going to a different birthday party every weekend. But outright banning them from consuming sugar during any occasion is wild. They should at least be …

Grandparents show up to 14-year-old granddaughter’s birthday party 2 hours late, get angry that they started the party without them: ‘I even called them the night before the party and reminded them that we would start at the given time.’
Every party has a threshold for when it’s socially acceptable to be late. If your friend has a daytime birthday party from 4 to 8 and you show up at 7:30, that’s a tad bit impolite. Some might say it’s also disrespectful to show up to that event at 3:40, and I’m inclined to agree. …

Girlfriend gets angry at 36-year-old dad for attending his 8-year-old son’s birthday party with his ex-wife: ‘According to her, we will be giving off «happy family vibes,» which hurt her feelings.’
You have to take on a lot of responsibility when you date somebody who has kids. You may not be responsible for their daily care or take on a parental role, but you have a duty to those children not to be a long-term negative disruption in their lives. It’s natural for a child to …

Mom disinvites grandparents from 4-year-old’s birthday party after mother-in-law jokes about her being an ‘oopsie baby’: ‘I felt heartbroken for her’
There is no use being coy about it: a pretty large percentage of the human population exists by accident. Planned babies are not the norm for every family, no matter how careful a couple might try and be with their family planning. While it is true that an unexpected pregnancy can wreak havoc on the …

Daughter refuses to pay for dad’s 70th birthday party after sister fails to include her in the planning, gets the silent treatment from family in response: ‘I’m biting my tongue’
There are birthdays, and there are big birthdays, and we all know the differences between the two. Your 19th birthday, for example, is not a big deal. It’s a pretty mellow age, without any major or life-changing moments, which can also be said about the birthday celebrations themselves. Your 21st birthday, however, is a huge …

‘I don’t like you, can you please leave’: Mean 31-year-old woman interrupts her ex-coworkers birthday party and asks to be recommended at her new job, freaks out when she bluntly asks her to leave
I love running into someone from my past. One time, I was walking in the West Village, and a guy I did Legally Blonde The Musical with when we were 17 got out of an Uber and ran up to me in recognition. Those interactions can be so fun because you quickly get to see …
