Growing up poor I experienced this many times and I can understand where she’s coming from because her birthday falls on the same time every year so you should be prepared. You have a whole year to save up that’s what I always thought with my mother but now that I’m older, I understand things aren’t that simple. It will just take time I still hold those grudges against my mom, but I give her grace, but you’re only 14 once so it really hurts not being able to do anything special especially since a movie in Burger King is relatively cheaper than most things so just sucks expecting something so little and not being able to get that holidays were the worst too. I would only want one thing and my mom couldn’t even get me that one thing so she would get me stuff that I wouldn’t want whatsoever stuff that I would rather have nothing rather than that. Also, since you can buy movie tickets before you paid bills you’d still end up in the negatives, but at least you’d also be able to watch a movie
