All I wanted was for my girl to have a great birthday party. And I guess from her eyes, it was. It just sucks so hard right now knowing from adult eyes, just how much was shitty about it too.
I guess I just don't get it, how kids so young could find so much JOY in destroying things that belong to another. No wonder kids don't care if they bully another kid into killing themself. We're raising whole generations based on "oh just go buy another on your credit card". What about respect? What about other people's FEELINGS?
You're so busy worrying about what you are entitled to, what someone else owes YOU, that you forget you can't withdraw from a bank account you don't deposit into. We all owe one thing to each other - COEXISTENCE. You are owed nothing by a system you do not yourself feed into.
I spent so much friggin money this weekend, trying to make sure everyone had a great time. I put in hours of effort into decorating & planning & cooking. And I invited people into my HOME. And they trashed my stuff, the things I'd saved up for my GUESTS were destroyed by just a few, in the name of "FUN", and I might have even been stolen from (a present for my CHILD, for pete's sake!)
Really? Is my having you over to my HOME just an excuse for you to forget you had kids & go get drunk & smoke cigarettes? Sorry if you LIE to your children that you smoke, but that doesn't mean you get to just leave them unparented for long enough to go around my 1 acre yard breaking all 40 helium balloons decorating it long before the party ends. Balloons that were going to be sent home with YOUR KIDS as GIFTS for them!
And to go all over my yard doing that much damage must have taken awhile, so where the FUCK WERE YOU?
By the way, they came at my sliding glass door with that giant stick they used to break them all, and you better be damn thankful I stopped them at that point, because that big of a stick would have shattered my door (or another kid's HEAD, hello??). Honestly, I should have let them swing it and bust my door so maybe for once, JUST FOR ONCE, you would have a negative effect on YOU THE PARENT for leaving your kids unattended and cracked out on sugar. You could have paid the hundreds if not a thousand bucks to have that whole glass slider replaced for me. Would that have been worth hiding from your kids for an hour of "relief"?
A birthday party should be FUN. Not destruction.
Even my husband's favorite outdoor game was destroyed by kids, again in the name of "fun". He was really really bummed out when he figured it out the day after. WHY ARE YOU RAISING YOUR KIDS TO FIND JOY IN TAKING THINGS AWAY FROM OTHERS??? What the hell seeds are you planting for the future, here???
Honestly, we'll see if I even HAVE a party for her next year. Or the invite list will vastly change. And I am certainly NOT offering up MY HOME for someone else to break stuff all over it next year. I have the best yard for parties ever. And ya'll gone & ruined it. I feel used. I feel like my child was jipped out of her BIRTHDAY joy. So you could drink another beer & lie to your kids about your nicotine habit & hide from them as if it didn't matter they were parentless and let their horrible behavior be someone else's problem for awhile. Only, they caused enough damage for your short reprieve from them to STILL be effecting me, here, days later. Enjoy that.
But I guess selfish kids come from selfish parents, right? So maybe I should stop letting my child be around those kids, then. For both our sakes. Cuz I'm done.
