birthday never fun for me. I sort of kind of got 16th bday 1 person showed up but I apericatex that she did even if she could only stay an hr. And my mother to my 8th birthday only grade school party I ever had she invited my enemy Andrea to my birthday she was grr. When I was 2 and 3 church threw me a party lets just say it was weird not cause church was bad just more food and pressents then a 2 and 3 yr old can fully comprehend. It ended up being mostly clothes. I was good at saying thank you even to stuff I was like in my head I was like I don't like that color those look itchy and such. I do remember liking best what the child who he was 1 yr older then me the best. When I was 2 he was 3 he got me bubbles and ball I only know that from video and I liked that best. Some of clothes where cute both yrs most weren't it was late 80's. I remember when I was 3 and he was 4 he got me a truck I liked that truck. It was simple push truck of course enjoyed r.c racing with daddy. But push truck was fun when daddy wasn't there to help with r.c. i think the kid picked them out himself with the I know I like this and think she will to that or his parents watched me way to much jn church nursery which wasn't really a nursery.

This is too much. Though, I am very grateful to my parents. They have jobs that allow us a comfortable middle class lifestyle and for a few of my birthdays we've gone in trips. This is because my birthday happens to be in the middle of June so it coincides perfectly with vacation time. So, instead of any sort of parties or gifts or anything we've gone to places like Hawaii a couple of times. I'm also an only child or else I'm sure the situation would be much different. I'm very greatful to them, it's something we can all enjoy doing together.

"Gracie is a little bit of a perfectionist..." Yeah i would be too if i was spoiled that much. God, validation? It makes them feel like their doing a good job? That is why so many young adults are depressed today. It's because so many of them got whatever they wanted when they were children and reality slaps them in the face when they move out of their parents house. Do what's best for your kids and don't ruin their lives.

[@josetteandres]

I agree

I never had a life like these kids have had, my life was always hard and we were poor, and im not spoiled, if i had a life like those kids did i wouldnt be depressed

Allison Davidson I went to a movie, that wasn't even that good lol. Also for a few years, only one or two of my friends show up (I had made a handmade invitation and everything).One might think that I was sad, but I had fun talking and playing with even one friend. My relatives would even show up to fill up the crowd at the last moment. A few birthdays were truly memorable. One birthday, my friends suprised me by showing up and we had a blast. We played games, watched videos and had cake! I have come to realise that birthdays aren't made amazing by the crowd, it's made amazing by the people you love. I am a spoilt brat and by that I mean I always had whatever I have needed. But I will always cherish those birthday memories.

Plus I got to spend the day in my room without any bright lights and noise. Just quiet and dark. Just how I like it. I don't like chaotic noise and bright lights resembling the sun in any way are the bane of my existence. And that's what family parties always are. Chaotic, excessively loud, and super bright. And all over the simple fact that I haven't died yet for another year.

I was forced into being a Jehovah's Witness for the last 12 years of my life and now I'm just grateful anyone even remembers my birthday and wishes me a happy one at that! So the fact that parents are doing this just to compete with each other absolutely disgusts me. And I'm no longer a witness, in fact. So my religious background doesn't bias me one bit. Children are being turned into greedy monsters because their parents are competing with each other and using their children as pawns. Sickening.

We sometimes don't have money for food and she's complaining about the color of a bird on a cake. IT WONT TASTE ANY DIFFERENT!! BE GRATEFUL YOU EVEN HAD A PARTY!! For me, a party when I was 6 would be going to my cousins house, maybe hitting a piñata, and cake. Now it's ether friends over or just going out to eat at Olive Garden. My parents don't have a lot of money, but I'm still great full that they even get me a anything. Someone need to knock some sense in this girl, hopefully her family loses all the money they have and then maybe they will be more great full. And get that makeup off of her, she's going to grow up thinking the only way to be beautiful is if you have makeup and fake everything.

the most extravagant party I ever had was going to this place that gave you makeover and had a photoshoot with your friends. I barely remember it. my most cherished party was my 12th birthday party. it was at our local park I had two or three of my close friends ( who are still my very close friends after about 3 or 4 years) and my family there. my cake was purple with black fondant that stained mine and my friend's mouths for days. we had some decorations from Party City and balloons. it doesn't matter the amount of money you spend, what matters is the memories you make. never will I forget that party.

Not a bit...shes a WHOLE spoiled brat

[@Global_Havoc18]

I'm from California, and for my 18th birthday, my parents took me and all my friends to the beach in La Jolla. we stayed there all day, and it was so much fun. i turned 19 two weeks ago, and I still remember my 18th birthday like it was yesterday.

[@princesifuniverse1541]

I have only had 2 birthday parties , I have been to other birthday parties. Both of the parties were small and only family went. I liked it.

[@sarahswanson3995]

I'm lucky if I get a sleepover with 2 friends......😅😐

[@ashleymccullough1461]

Ikr! That's what I mostly do for my birthdays, having sleepovers with my besties! :)

[@katiekrygoske8758]

Sarah Swanson no kidding, it's way more fun! I would rather have the 4 amazing friends I have than any other party or present

[@kimmycapuyan2792]

Most of the time, I don't even want a party. I just want to have lunch with my family and I don't really expect anything.

[@melsuarezp25]

I know right

[@_scatterbrains]

Same here

[@imitationporcelain]

I gree ifI am with my friends on my birthday any place is a party :) , in my 20th birthday they give my two notebooks and a card that one of them made and all of them sign for me.

[@theorangeball5333]

I just say it's the same day your just a year older

[@morohitahigurashi9328]

it was my sister's fourth birthday party the other day and we made it simple. We decided to finally throw a party for her on friday and on sunday we had the party. She was shy at first but she began hanging out with us(her older sisters) and she cheered up.

[@alice1598]

The sad thing is, when these kids grow up, they won’t even remember the thousands of dollars their parents spent on them when they were only 6 years old.

[@MissyFaye]

wtf.. how does this make sense to these parents?

[@emmatakacs4340]

My birthday party : Come to my house. Board games, food, and music. Doesn't cost much. 1-3 presents. And it's still so fun to me

[@solardriftx1170]

GeezItzEmma My birthdays don't have parties,our family just eats cake and I get a 3ds game or somethin' 😆 EDIT: It's still love it tho. :D

[@bryananeff656]

GeezItzEmma SAME!

[@wehaveaproblem7086]

GeezItzEmma I usually get a small present I got cheetos this year (I'm british) and at Christmas I get loads

[@samfrancisco8095]

We spent $300 2 times for indoor Bounce house parties. Because we had been invited to them we felt obligated to reciprocate. I joked with one of the Dads at the first one to save the gifts and re-gift at future parties when I learned how much he had put out. His response, "I already had that thought in mind."

[@VIRAOK_A]

I spent my birthday alone with a single cupcake

[@bublehnoodlez4469]

....I don't get spoiled on my birthday....I get spoiled on Christmas! on my birthday I usually just go to school, Get cake, Sing happy birthday, Open presents, Done!

[@liyana2042]

[@GOJIRA_2000]

Truly Me Tube I remember being 7 years old,My dad took me to Burger King, and with the meal I got,it came with not one,but *TWO* Spiderman toys, one was of Venom and the other of Spider-Man. Later we watched Spider-Man 3 in theaters, and when We got home, I was allowed to play Turok 2. *Dad did not let me because it was very bloody*

[@bookmilla8616]

All of my birthday parties were at my house, with homemade cake and limbo lmao.

[@dazzlingdirectortv84]

On my Birthday my Mom wakes me up I go down stairs all my family is hiding and they jump out and shout "Happy Birthday!" and there's usually a cake on the table I blow out the candles, get a few gifts and go bowling. No need for huge parties like this.

[@ricksaveragelife7489]

Exactly

[@nonorania]

Honestly for my party I made homemade cupcakes and my friends and I went to Candlewood lake and had a picnic. I think we spent $2.00 on like plates and plastic forks.

[@button9584]

same at my b-day we go to this park and have home made cupcakes they were neat , do you have themed birthdays?

[@nonorania]

When I was 3 I had a Dora party. But all we had were Dora cups and things like that

[@DavidFlores-ln3fp]

My brother turned 8 this year and my parents got him a Nintendo switch and even tho he didn’t had a party he still appreciated what he got and this girl birthday was more than a 15th birthday girl ( Idk what’s the name in English but you get my point)

[@sereynahsamson6828]

“Mum I don’t know how to drive”😂😂😂

[@emelieshinn9117]

$32,000!? I don't even make that much in a year SMH

[@daphne10120]

One of the worst things you can do is spoil your child to the point where they feel entitled to everything in life and have never had to earn what they wanted. This is gross to me, they are raising brats. Love is not materialistic and cannot be bought. These kids are going to have problems when they grow up.

[@treeshia421]

I thought my birthday parties were big and last year only two of my friends came 🤣😂🤣😂

[@trinityb8845]

I’m sorry the way that little girl said “15 thousand” I️ LAUGHED SO HARD I️ WAS WHEEZING 😂💀

[@sleeper_5091]

Me: Gets a few presents, invites some friends to lazer tag. Play with my toys. Sleep. These kids: A PALACE.

[@chloehill5447]

Robbie Jacobs so true

[@TomBom292]

Robbie Jacobs Exactly my 12th birthday party. My 13th- Go to six flags. Open a few presents. Have fun with my new presents with my freinds. Sleep. These kids- A DIAMOND CARRIAGE???

[@619WWEFAN]

Same with me. Or we did bowling or movies or arcades. This is like a fancy wedding. Nothing good comes out of a spoilt child.

[@jennartfer7780]

I got a bouncy house for an hour once for like 50$ when I was five it was awesome

[@619WWEFAN]

Jennifer Zoey this kid will be like veruka salt

[@angeliquefrancisco7508]

she cried beacuse of a bird in her cake not being color blue. i cried out of happiness when i was given 20 bucks in my 7th birthday.

[@bonkboi420]

I got the exact same present when I was 7 I wasted it on slurpees and ice cream snickers

[@angeliquefrancisco7508]

i wasted it on chocolates

[@ch053n8]

I got a cake out of a box. Not even 20$.

[@angeliquefrancisco7508]

well there goes your life

[@angeliquefrancisco7508]

but we're happy

[@alysmmaia3208]

I never got presents as a child and when I finally did, I was twelve and got a dictionary and thesaurus. I was actually so excited and spent the month reading it all.

[@kermitthefrog6477]

All my parents do for my birthday is get a little cake and give me books lol

[@annaorlovtsev3167]

All I had for my birthday is we ate some pizza and cake,played mafia,played twister,and danced all over my house

[@EmilyRose-og6vh]

_heyitzanna_ that's a good old BIRTHDAY high five unspoilt person!

[@brooklyncampbell7389]

_heyitzanna_ that, my friend, sounds perfect

[@obikenobi9775]

Lol we ate cupcakes and soda and wrestled

[@strawbootyyy_753]

My mom would never "spoil" us kids when we were younger we had the normal 10 person bday party with a homemade cake and 10 dollar presents from target. Now that I'm 11 my bday parties are not really party's, they are simple take a friend to Starbucks, get your nails painted and maybe go to the store and get a little piece of candy type gatherings. My mom would never spent over $40,000 dollars to make us happy. It waste money and time. Me and my brother are sharing a bday party this year and only inviting 15 people that we have to split. All the kids at my school (accept for 2 of my friends) have phones mostly iPhones. They make up excuses about having to call their parents. I use my house phone to call my parents and rarely call my friends only if it's about something really important. Watching this video just made me feel bad for both the parents and the kids. When the kids grow up they are gonna expect everything to be perfect but without the parents you can't and the parents are gonna have to live with this for the rest of the sweet years of this and asking for more. What happens at her sweet 16. You gonna invite taylor swift, buy her a Ferrari, and drive in a limo going to a big house pool party spending millions of dollars. For my sweet 16 I want something cool but cheap and simple like a tarp in our backyard with balloons and a store cake and punch not a fricken ice dolphin with Diamonds for confetti or celebrities coming over to sing although that would be cool. I don't expect that much from my parents. Stupid parents you might think it's the kids fault but it's actully the parents fault for spoiling for children and wasting your money. Moral of my story: don't waste your life savings for something that you can spend $90 dollars on instead of $1,000,000 dollars on.

[@AliSakurai]

My sixth birthday was at the rollerskating rink. That was lavish to me back then.

[@liam-hu3qx]

my literal favorite birthday party memory was simply getting a slip and slide with a moon bounce in it and having some friends come over. nothing to major, but still so many memories

[@obikenobi9775]

Lol my favorite memory is this photo my mom took of my friend stacie giving my friend Daniel a death stare.

[@Steel_blade_alchemist]

Baking a cake at home would be much more fun.

[@yuri590]

my sister saw that

[@leahseigler8427]

okay I have to say this it's not like the kids going to remember any of this when they get older so why are parents spending so much money on birthdays that are outrageously expensive instead of just doing a traditional birthday when I was younger my parents did a traditional birthday with me and I remember that but I liked it because it they didn't spend a whole bunch of money on things they didn't even need at my party and now what happened to that like I said this was officially gone insane in this is part of the process.

[@aperfectmistake747]

For my birthday I get some family together and a few gifts and cake,and I'm very grateful.I was 5 when this video came out

[@brif7113]

For my birthday my parents are like here's a avocado and go play tag in the woods

[@luci9625]

On my tenth birthday I really wanted a Harry Potter birthday so my mum drew an amazing hippogriff so we could play pin the tale on the hippogriff and we bought orange juice and pretended it was pumpkin juice and jelly beans for Bertie Bott's every flavoured beans then my mum made a chocolate cake and stuck strawberries on in the shape of hHarry Potter's scar and I put the four house names into a witch hat from the $2 shop for the sorting hat and we had a chocolate frog hunt with freddo frogs. You don't need thousands of dollars for a birthday party as long as your child has fun with their friends and/or family on their birthday.

[@sebastianarturo4089]

OMG your mom is such a good thinker instead of wasting thousands and thousands you guys mostly used homemade things to throw that awesome Harry Potter party👍

[@4ngelcakexx489]

+LuciTheWhale that sounds like something i would still want to do today

[@snr-iw5dz]

That's the same thing I'm doing except we're doing a homemade BBQ party!

I'd rather have a birthday like that then a £60,000 birthday

[@leslie3796]

I am trash Same.

[@fhamdani99]

Ugh! What's even worse than the parents are the kids themselves! Like that little girl is complaining about the COLOR of the damn bird, like what the heck?!

[@selinarox8022]

ikr some people cant even have a cake like that!

[@marcusfrey3749]

Selina Bal some? more like noone

[@indiefaerie1019]

My birthdays are pretty simple, and i love them. I do an activity with a friend, like swimming or going to the mall. A homemade cake, favorite food and a small gift, like a 10 dollar sweater.

[@pheonixlegends4429]

"Mom I don't know how to drive" that just cracked me up

[@blobfish1829]

Wtf she complains over a cake? BISH I didn't even get a damn cake on my birthday!

[@obikenobi9775]

Bruh I’m 11 and all I would want is to have a sleepover with some of my friends or get Star Wars legos or something

[@harriettoh7188]

When Christmas or my birthday comes up my family ask what I want but I always say I don't know because I want video games but I'm worried they will be pissed

[@MegaSonglover99]

the biggest thing my mom ever did for my birthday was a party at Chuck E Cheese 😂 and nobody even showed up😂
