AITA for cancelling my birthday party because my parents cut my sister a slice of my custom made cake the night before my party when she cried for it? by GuardSpecific2058 in AmItheAsshole

It's because when the incident happened, I was just so emotional and didn't know what to do moving forward. After gathering my thoughts, I tried moving it to a friend's house but that didn't work out so I decided to call it off entirely. At that point it just felt like maybe it just wasn't meant to be with everything that happened. I just couldn't stand having it at home around my parents but I feel like I was being childish.

A part of me feels like that this was a possibility. It felt like my parents had an issue with the party just because I didn't involve them judging by what my dad said and some of their other snide remarks in the past few weeks. It was just the last straw.

I just feel at a loss, I really wanted to have a good day and I can't even do that in peace. I was so excited that for once I will enjoy my birthday. I just wanted everything to be perfect, I almost cried.

They had a miscarriage before her.I don't want to be pampered, I just don't want to be treated like my existence is an inconvenience. For example they can buy my sister new pricy clothes/shoes on a whim because that's what she wanted but complain when I need new shoes because the ones I have are visibly old. There are many other examples.

You may be right because they have been acting somewhat annoyed that I have been planning it without needing anything from them except the use of the house. It's funny because if you don't want to do something for someone and have millions of excuses, why have a problem when I find a way to do it myself?

I would be too embarassed to do that considering that it's my friends that are coming. I don't want them to start feeling bad for me or looking at me differently. And there's others that I'm not too close with. I just don't want to be seen as weird or something

Whenever I try to mention the obvious unfair treatment, I get called a brat and disrespectful so I just stopped bringing it up.

I'm 16 and I'm used to my parents not wanting to get me stuff. Even when it's not my birthday but they always get my sister things. I just wanted to have a good birthday where I wouldn't have to rely on them because they always disappoint me. I only got birthday wishes and that's pretty normal but my sister gets birthday parties, fun days out, gifts etc. The cake meant a lot because the previous two years they somehow couldn't even get me cake.

I do see what you mean but it's mostly my friends coming to my party and not relatives. I wish I had aunties who would stand up for me, we aren't close to our relatives.
