My birthday was a few days ago and the party was scheduled for the day after. I have been planning for weeks and invited all my friends. I bought the food, snacks and drinks and picked up my custom-made cake which I was really excited about, it was just perfect. The night before the party, I noticed that my cake which was in the fridge had a huge slice missing. When I asked my dad, he shrugged and nonchalantly said that my sister was crying for it, and it was just a small piece, my friends wouldn’t notice.
I yelled at him asking him why he would do something like that when it wasn’t even bought with his money and that my sister could have waited for tomorrow. This made him angry, and he went on a tirade about how I think I’m an adult because of my stupid party implying at the fact that I did everything myself and did not ask them for anything.
I ended up calling it off because I was not able to change the location last minute as I didn’t have the means to, and I was so hurt, I didn’t want to host it at home anymore. One of my friends told me that calling it off was an overreaction and that I could have just gritted my teeth and gone through with doing it at home rather than cancelling just hours before.
