A United Kingdom-based lady has taken to TikTok to lament after spending so much on food and preparation for her daughter’s birthday only for her friends and their kids not to turn up.
The mom took to the video-sharing platform, TikTok, via aaliyah_alena327, to share her disappointment as she revealed how much she had wasted on the botched celebration.
She revealed that she had put in a lot of effort to throw the party and had spent $225 on the food she prepared for the birthday of her daughter.
She noted that it was only her boyfriend who had turned up for the event, and none of her friends showed up for the birthday.
A video she shared on her page shows the room empty of people except her, her boyfriend and little daughter.
Sharing the video, she captioned …
“How do you react when nobody shows up to your daughter’s party? $225 worth of food. My boyfriend’s family is eating goood tonight. This is the support system I have for my daughter. Happy Birthday My lil mermaid!! Remember blood is no thicker than water.”
