This is what the true spirit of being both a Christian AND an American is all about!! To the mother, please make sure to continue these AMERICAN values so your daughter can pass it on. 😎👍🏻🇺🇸

So wonderful & uplifting!❤

What about the homeless veterans how sad is that.

I guess there is some goodness in social media.

Sometimes strangers treat you better than family.

Sometimes I feel like the more people know each other, the more opportunities they've had to have conflicts and have a falling out. I have a hard time speaking to my best girlfriend of many years because of all of the hard times we've had.

Always

And family

This is so crazy true

Damn whats with the other family not visiting? Is it just me or does it seem like america canada anywhere really(yes i have been living under a partial rock ) its a mad mad world ? Matrix ?

That is very sweet. You have certainly raised an awesome daughter

@@Wangootangoshe said „apart from family“, Sontheim family visited

❤❤❤

I really mean it too. I have 4 children, 3 girls, 1 boy. I see the snobbery among the parents. It’s hurtful and petty. The kids need to see their classmates at their birthday parties to make them feel great and help celebrate their moment. Did you catch that? Their moment! Caddy wives, $notty dads make the child experience horrible. The kids need the joy shared among their own, the parents have nothing to do with it. I have to say this post really emotionally touched me.

as a former unpopular child. I would have hated having some kids I don't really know well come to my party because a well meaning parent thinks I don't deserve to be alone. Having to pretend I'm friends with them, worse than not having a party at all. You can't force friendship, the birthday kid knows it, your kids know it; it'll just be awkward for all of them.

@@adriansue8955Is it possible however, that being the only ones who show up, the children can get to know each other better and make friends? I would hope this is so.

Seriously!!!

not really the friends fault, i suspect more like the parents. I'd imagine kids her age wanted to go to the party, what kid is gonna turn down birthday cake, but the parents said no

I have also learned the same lesson, NEVER depend on friends and family to support your joy! It will NEVER happen!

🎯

Yep. You find out who your friends aren't.

And with more cake to go around too.

Yes!❤🎉

Bro nobody showed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@gunnercade7728 they mean the kind strangers 😉

@@gunnercade7728bro didn’t watch the end of the video💀 people literally showed up….

And then they wonder what possible reason you might have had for going off the deep end one day...

so do I just from your telling it. it's emotional abuse, pure and simple. it's hell beings doing this kind of stuff because it destroys the basic minimum of trust between human beings. it destroys the idea that simple generosity and goodness suffice to produce goodness. it teaches us to never be good to people if you want to play it safe.

I am a school teacher and some years ago a colleague and I became aware of such a plot amongst our 7th graders. One mean girl circulated a letter telling the other girls to RSVP yes, but instructed them not to attend the party. We called in the mean girls' parents and their response was shocking! They supported their daughter's actions and commended her for being a good judge of "class". The birthday girl was delightful and without flaw, but the other children were terrified of the mean girl so they were too scared to cross her. I am certain this is what happened to you. One nasty piece of work dissuaded the others. There was nothing wrong with you. 24 years later, I still remember that child and her awful parents and get a sick taste in my mouth. She probably has had this effect on many people. She had no class at all, just money, but was too egotistical to know the difference.

You know they orchestrated it, it was never because of you. ❤️

Thank you all. I appreciate your kind words. It took many years to understand the motivation and understand it wasn’t about me. To Claire… it was a couple of the popular girls that orchestrated it.

❤❤❤

that was so sweet of you guys :')

What a great thing to do for those kids! Thank you and to all your co-workers! ❤

thank you!

I would also like to thank you for your kindness. You and your coworkers restored some faith in humanity 😊

KUDOS to you and the staff !! I bet it was the most unforgettable birthday for those kids !

Omg girl me too! I'm glad I'm not the only one I've never had a party and I'm 30 😢 I dream of it one day

same! if 1 person showed up I'd be happy

Oh man you just identified a huge weakness in me. I have the same issue. I feel a lot like Gatsby trying to basically bribe people to attend stuff with me because I can't believe anyone would show up just for me. That said, I'm blessed to have parents that will show up for everything and anything so I can depend on them at least.

@@dbrooke3629 i’m blessed to have parents that will show up too and for that i’m so grateful🥺❤️

Same here! 25 yrs old, and only 2 showed up for my birthday, never ever again I celebrate my birthday, just spend it with me, myself and I, watching a great movie, and with my pet of course.... The best company I've ever had so far ♥

Yes, and as a Father just as Much.

@@worldsbestfun There's no denying that. But clearly the video is relatable to that of a mother bc she is a mother. I'm not diminishing the father but clearly he wasn't present 🫤

I'm not even a dad and these kinds of stories always hurt to hear. I guess those paternal/parental instincts kick in when you hit a certain age. I'm glad that there were people from the community who were able to come and celebrate with her.

Its the worst feeling in the world

@@JessicaBeeehe’s saying he’s a father and feel the same way

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not but things aren't adding up here lol.

I know! I have an aunt who keeps a closet full of gifts for a moment's notice. Apparently, she is not the only one...lol. That is awesome :-)

@@chainuser1774 "sarcasm" ... seriously????!!!! Some people may have already been ready to do things that day. All they had to do was pop down to the local toy store, grab something, wrap it or have the store wrap it and then make their way to the party. 30 mins to an hour is all people need. Anything is possible.

@@rick_terscale1111yeah, & with hundreds of fb followers & instagram followers seeing the post, 30 people showing up is not the most improbable event to occur. It’s totally possible, absolutely.

There could be a store nearby that made it convenient

Why would no one show up though??? Have you ever asked yourself that?

​@@samadams219Because people suck.

Who cares?! That’s a them problem. They missed out. He had a great time.

That's your parents fault. There's nothing wrong with having something smaller at home. Now every kid in school has to go to every other kid's birthday party.

maybe you were a obnoxious person and people really hated you , its quite possible

I feel our society these days has really gone downhill socially. I always blame dependency on phones making us into these quirky committophobes. It’s not okay!

Lmaooo the girl prolly gets bullied in school

@@gunnercade7728 tf u on

Lmoa about a lil girl getting bullied??????wtf???? What is actually wrong with you?

I missed a boy's party and will be devastated for the rest of my life. I didn't mean to, something really traumatic happened and I completely forgot.

When I was younger we had only small parties (at home) for really, I mean Really close friends. Now it is MADNESS!! The stupidity of parents and the need to show-off is crazy. Did you invite his best friends or the whole class? Sometimes is better to invite less people and be sure they will come and will have a great time together. Or just spend time with family.

​@@EvenWinter, I totally agree!

will be, is becoming… each of us who smiles at a stranger, as well as every friend and neighbor, is being that person and helping that goal become.

Right?!?! This blows my mind.

That is Amazing! I'm glad that Willow got the Birthday party that she deserved. Happy Birthday Willow❤🎉 You deserve it.

That's why you put RSVP on the invitation.

​@mytv89626 did you watch the video? Several people DID ravp.

@@TheLovelyMissBeans RSVP.

Many celebrities that do charity or autograph events say the same thing....just by showing up, you make someone's day. You don't know whose life you will enlighten just by being there. Well done!!! (Mark Hamill of Star Wars has that on his Twitter/X account...just showing up means everything)

His life would have still went on, but maybe not as happy as now

Yeah, you don’t know the impact you can have on someone’s life. If no one showed up, that would have stuck with that poor person forever and probably not gone well.

Same happened to a kid on my brother’s football team. My brother didn’t really want to go but felt like he should stop by! He was the only person who did and they ended up playing video games for a couple hours!

Honestly this is one of the most devastating things that can happen to someone. It'll break you and you'll probably end up hating people and start a hermit crab life with social anxiety. Glad y'all showed up, but it still was most likely his last party.

❤❤❤

Wow...

But you got a great gift…. a BFF❤

that's so precious 😭

That was wholesome

So why did you grow up and be a terrible person to everyone else tho?

While I was watching the video I thought it would had been better for the little girl not be there during the interview, because that makes her remember the hurtfull moment again. I think it was better for the girl that her experience ended with the memory of the number of people who did show up to her party. Obviously the mother has not done it with bad intentions, I can tell. As for how the mother handled the party situation, wow! marvelous! ❤

​@@tatianaa.3694I agree, the mother had an amazing response. But unfortunately, this wouldn't work in all areas of the country, only where it's reasonably safe. It certainly wouldn't work in my city lol! I shudder to think who'd show up from my local "community" 😅😅

​@@tatianaa.3694EXACTLY!!!!!!!

The mom should have interviewed without the little girl being there!!!!

So sad 🥺

Oh yeah the family of this kid sounds great. Didn't show up until they got put on blast for doing zero. Ya real hero's.🤮🤮🤮

God bless ❤

@@jamessievert350whats with the barf emojis🤷‍♀️

​@@jamessievert350ah jealous? Well hope your birthday people show not having barf issues.

I’m sure the mom paid the parents for compensation.

Thats just so mean of them to do that to you I hope ur doing fine now

That's not true friendship if they decided to do that to you. How horrible.

fair weather friends as they say

That kinda happened to me when I was 16, too. I invited all these people yet only my best friend, my boyfriend & an old neighbor friend & his brother showed up. It was for my 16th birthday & my brother’s 21st birthday (he’s Autistic so he was just happy to go to Pizza Hut). It was at that moment that I realized those “friends” I invited weren’t my friends. Ever since then, when it’s my birthday, I take myself out or take my brother out.

I was there in spirit

More like a show of the selfishness and superficiality of our current culture. People have no sense of commitment or responsibility anymore, but give them an emotional story to post about on their socials, and they'll drop everything to show up. I guarantee you that every one of the people who showed up at that party did it for the gram.

I'm in the same boat. Sad day for the kid.

Same here. I would be so heartbroken to see them alone with no one to come to the party...

Same.

You can still search for her via social medias

The power of social media! Find her please 🥺

Hope you're doing well also you cared enough to show up she was lucky to have you and vice versa 💕

I so love reading beautiful comment like that of yours.. I hope you're doing well yourself. Love from Swaziland 🇸🇿 ❤

Find her!!!!

I'm sorry - that sucks 😞 ❤️

that's sad. I'm an adult and have family members every year suggest that we don't do gifts. I fought this idea every year by telling them I'd still get them one (which I would do).... and so they keep giving me gifts. As a disabled person who lives alone and don't get to see family members often, it just feels nice getting a few gifts from family members each year (I don't care if the gift is cheap, it's just nice to have any gift no matter how small).

We do not do presents, but that’s between adults. Kids always get presents.

What about friends? Perhaps it is time to heal the hurt and fill that void with so much love and joy that you start to meet people of like caliber who love to celebrate with you!

That has got to hurt, especially as you were not yet an adult. One should feel special on one’s birthday. It hurts even as an adult; I don’t get presents or cards from my family either, not even from my son. My husband and I buy ourselves a present from our joint savings, but I have to choose my own present and it really doesn’t mean much to me. Same story at Christmas. It’s hurtful knowing that no-one really cares enough to bother. So I get your pain.

Why?

Amén for that

Very true!!

You got that right

Thats how strangers become friends

Maybe that’s why they didn’t come, I mean if a monsoon was coming I would have just rescheduled the party.

❤❤❤

Where's the chi?

Hahaha

Wait. Not you mad because A MONSOON stopped people from coming to a party.

👍🏼

❤

Now THAT shocks me. People in the South have more integrity, having been raised in that part of the country. I now live in Southern California and everyone is a freaking FLAKE....except people who weren't raised here, that is.

It happened to me for my 7th birthday. I am now 58. Yes, it still will pop up and your emotions can be stung by a trauma like this.

Woah, I can't fathom how many people bail on going to birthday parties and don't even give an ahead notice. I'm so sorry no one came to your party, I sure as hell would've loved going to the rink! Even at 26 it's still something I would enjoy, lmao. Don't let that sour memory stop you from having fun, tho!

@@sharonbrookes1188 yeah I appreciate it Sharon... It's been a hard one to shake but I do the best I can

I think this type of thing happens to every single one of us in some form or another at LEAST once, if not more! It's the sucky part about being human. Never too late to start celebrating you. Start today!!

Creep?

This is heartbreaking. :-(

That’s crushing to hear. Many moons ago I worked at Discovery Zone (in Canada) and thankfully never did that happen.

How sad

This was always my fear as a parent so I made sure to only invite kids who were close to my daughter that I knew for sure would turn up (and determine which might be a no show), and keep the party intimate. Also, don’t they rsvp anymore to give these parents an idea?

It's an epidemic of selfishness. There's always an excuse!

I thought the same thing.

kinda strange tbh.....something seems missing from this story

​@@lIlIlIll-kg2cmWell you caught us, it was supposed to have been a recruitment drive for the Lizard Illuminati. How you figured out that something was missing is rather clever of you, now if you just provide us with your home address. As we have a prize for you, it's a special prize 👽😎

Nope this is embarrassing for the people who never showed up. And judging by all of the comments on here, this has happened to A LOT of other people through time, so it did not just happen to her

Children comprehend more than adults think they do. If my 18 month old daughter could say "Bye" while watching the Superbook story about Lot & his family leaving Sodom and Gomorrah, this little girl is smart enough to understand that the original "friends" who were invited never showed up. Hearing her mother tell the story is not new news to her.

Agreed

I remember in 2nd grade, I invited a select few kids to my birthday party, and the teacher scolded me because I invited a select few. (Mix of boys and girls) she told me either invite the entire class or just the girls, but not the whole class. Not like it mattered at the end of the day, because only a few kids showed up, and only like 2-3 were from school and the other few were either neighbors or people from Scouts.

​@@Maw0what's wrong with this teacher. It us not their business who the kid invited to a private event. If adults throw parties we invite whoever we want. Why can't kids do the same?

Good point

​@@Maw0 dude same thing happened to me in 2nd or 3rd grade. I got along with majority of the class, but I only had a few friends I liked hanging out with. I'm not trying to invite the class troublemakers to my house 🙄

Well said! I was not invited to parties after kindergarten age because the kids could tell I was “different”. This got me bullied and left out a lot. I have general anxiety disorder and BPD. To this day, I’m still lonely. My bf (at the time) ghosted me on my 25th birthday. Blocked my number and everything. I hate birthdays.

Bless her And all the folks and kids who turned up. That is so brilliant. Great support for a nice kid.🥰🍰

you still sound like a kid 😂

Bobby, gimmie your lunch money or else!!

Jesus loves you!❤❤❤

No one messes with baby sister.. us big sisters will lose it

❤❤❤

You have class. You’re doing such a great job raising your boy

This is why when you rsvp it’s important to show up or call ahead if you need to cancel. Common courtesy. I know emergencies come up, but not for that many people. What a great mom she is. Glad it all turned out okay

Agreed 👍 It's already disappointing if nobody wants to come to your party, but it's even worse if no one shows up after they said they would! I'm glad that poor girl was still able to have an awesome birthday, thanks to her Mom and the Community ❤❤🎉

If they rspvd and still didn’t show up it’s either that they had an emergence or something unexpected came up or they’re all just jerks

Let those parents be damned.

@@Solo_man69 I'm probably guessing the latter.... because every single one of them couldn't have had an emergency on the same day

Kind enough?? They're not doing it to be nice to you, they're doing it because they want you to be nice to them... Momma thinks princess deserves 100 presents. I still remember cake, ice cream and a couple small presents at home with the family. I was always happy with that.

I’m sorry that happened, it sounds so cruel. It hurts not to be invited to things

Fr same thing my "friend" actually didn't invite me to her birthday party this summer but invited all the other girls 😢

My son is now in his 6th and last year of preschool and I've seen many birthday invitations over the years and many playdates. He got invited to his first birthday party this Sunday. Fortunately our little children cannot see what's happening around them.

@@cocobunitacobuni8738 my mom had a policy: if I was inviting most of the girls (or boys and girls when I got to that age)in my class, then I had to invite all of them. If it was a limited number of classmates, then I couldn’t pass out the invitations at school and couldn’t talk about the party at school.

@@4evrnick excellent policy!

This doesn't make sense why did all her friends didn't come, maybe the kid did something

@@Sa.d.bo26Plot twist: she made the story up.

​@@crazygrl689Plot twist: you're lonely

I would come to her party, with my friends

This happened before with two other moms that went viral on Inside Edition as well I guess it happens once every other year apparently

I was just about to comment on this. Shame on those who said they would be there. Don't the parents realize that a "yes" is practically a blood oath for that age? I would not pursue friendships with those kids after today 😡

As a parent, Really? You know yer kid wouldn’t let you miss that party if they were invited unless something really important conflicted. No one showed. “Some parents rsvp’d”That’s all hear say and conjecture on the part of the interviewer. Read what the lady actually texted out. Never did they say why no one was there, assuming isn’t a logical explanation. There is more to this story then meets the eye.

⁠@@Yabroproductions33u sound slow. You don’t have any facts behind your skepticism. Please stop reaching for straws, taking up for faceless parents for which u don’t know the explanation either. I read what she texted. Please enlighten us what was wrong with the invite? Or just keep talking in riddles and conspiracies

@@MrShaiya96 that’s right, I am slow. I’m not in a hurry to blame fictional characters. No one has all the facts. Until a parent/s that couldn’t make comes forward, this is nothing more than entertainment. I’m not one to pass judgment without ALL sides of a story. This reminds me of a “feel good”advertisement for the importance of social media.

I don't know that they meant to be hurtful. Perhaps something came up that prevented them from going, or they just forgot. Even so, you should at least have the courtesy to tell them why you didn't show up. To say that you're coming and then not attend without explaining why is very rude, no matter what the reason.

Yeah same. That really sucks.

This happened on my 6th birthday and it didn't make the news....

@@liliannapassut2246 ...sure thing ,1946, different media landscape

Now she can bring up her birthday was on the new years later

The little girl is destroyed for ever.

@@crayonburry Yep, exactly what I was thinking. It's gonna be on KZfaq for as long as KZfaq is around, and probably a few other online spots. When she's older, she might even want to avoid this notoriety, but I'm not sure social media will allow her to.

@@Winstn2331 Do you mind explaining exactly what you mean by that?

@@bowed305 You already explained why.

You can tell her this: a birthday is a blessing of life that you can see another year in this world. The only important person that should celebrate the birthday is yourself! We cannot change other people's opinions, but not having people come to your celebration is such a tiny problem compared to the blessing that is life.

God! I am so sorry

Same thing happened to my child. We invited around 40 people including every kid in her class. Planned it all. Had food and drinks for tons with little gifts they could take home. We made everything ourselves and was so adorable. 3 kids did show up thankfulky. 1 came later so was only 2 for most of it. Broke my child's heart. She had waited at the door for everyone to show up. And kept asking where they were. After that year I never planned for more than say 8. I knew all 40 wouldn't show so that's why we invited so many and I figured at least 15 or so would show. Just broke my heart for her. Now I try my best to reach out and get others to come and invite lots of family as well hoping for anyone with kids to show up. She's had a couple now with at least 10 kids which is nice but also a few with only 2 to 3. Bugs me when others RSVP and don't come when they didn't have an emergency or anything else going on. Just don't RSVP

This has happened to all of us at least once in life in one form or other. Keep celebrating -- if your happiness is going to depend on human beings, you will always be disappointed. You win some, you lose some.

Don’t stop but I’d suggest just an intimate gathering of friends you know will show up. Doesn’t have to tons of people to be a party.

Whenever is your birtbday ,you will never be alone ! Somewhere in the world will be someone who will think of you whishing you the best and say :happy birthday ,my dear !!😊❤

It happened to me one time at 20 years old then on new year eve too by my best friend at the time

This has happened to me twice also, I couldn’t believe the second time!!

What was people reasons for not showing up?

Our son was ostracized too. He was never invited to one single school birthday party growing up. Therefore, I never had a “school” birthday party for him knowing the chance of no one showing up was pretty great.

The same happened to me, I will never again invite my family, why do they confirm and don't show up? Poor baby, I would have gone to her birthday party.

They RSVP because they're too nice to say no. Let me guess, you asked them face to face. That was your first problem. You should have given them a way to say No while saving (your) face. If no one showed up, then no one wanted to go. The girl in this video had no friends. It's her mom's fault for not realizing this

@@veryslyfoxwell likely it’s the mom who’s not friends with the other moms in the class

We end the day in matching PJs and movies where we can eat all their favorite snacks in the bed without worrying about the mess tomorrow. Screw undependable people.

I don't know why so many people excuse themselves from their commitments now. It seems like it's more likely that people disregard them than take them to heart.

Not always possible but who the hell sez they’ll attend and then bails… what horrible parents.

Same bro 😔👊

I’m so sorry you feel this way :( I LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE ❤❤❤

Same. And I remember there was one girl who invited me to her party in all of elementary school and she told me that everyone told her not to invite me but she wanted me there. I will never forget it!

That's why they got the kids (parents) to confirm with an RSVP in advance. It's cruel for her "friends" to say they were attending then break that promise. I hope some flakes see this and realize how much harm they can cause when they break RSVPs. Obviously legit things can prevent attendance and courteous to notify event planner, but rare that 100% of those who RSVP to flake out.

I got really introverted after 1st grade so I just didn't want parties anymore because I didn't really talk much to my classmates, so I felt like no one would come anyway, but if any did it would be just as much of a nightmare to deal with.

Yeah so sad

❤❤❤❤❤

No one turned up for my 21st. I still got upset for a while but learned those peotdontbmatter. Those same people used to tell me all the time I'm to blunt, I'm tactless and far to litteral and it's embarrassing for them.. and I eventually found out these was the reasons they kept canceling plans with me.. fast forward some years just before my 37 birthday I was dinaosed autistic and that's the reason they didn't really like me 😂 I've over it now! Screw them! I've since had amazing party's with amazing people who like me for me and wouldn't leave me out and push me out of things! I hope your child heals from the hurt from it. It's not a nice feeling.

@@rbmw981 I'm so sorry. Some of the smartest most unique people ever have this gift. I had a friend's 8 year old son in the car with my 3 yr old daughter and a blinding snowstorm closed the road. I was not very familiar with their town so didn't dare take side streets. Michael normally recited every word with ads of all the shows he'd watched the night before. Suddenly I realized he was repeating street names and turns. I followed his directions and we arrived at his house the back way. His mom didn't even know he knew the way by memory. Forty five years later I'm still amazed. Blessings.

Even on my 18th birthday I preferred playing god of war to socializing. I'd say it all depends on the individual. But more than likely, someone who has good meaningful friendships will still have someone show up if asked.

That's awful! What I can't understand is why people would say they plan on coming and just bail? If you can't go, then it's better just to say so. It's far more hurtful to lie.

Now that's good food

This kind of treatment could be one of the little incidents triggering in those massive shooting killer mind's that those absent parents never give any thoughts on effect. It is a another form of "invisible" bullying similar to verbal bully.

crawfish, lobsters and seafood would make me so happy as a little kid! you were so lucky lol

Good for you! God bless

A couple years ago my son was invited to a birthday party of a kid he barely knew. He invited the whole class and only my son showed up. I was so glad that my son was available that day because I would have felt terrible knowing no one showed.
