A woman turns to Reddit for support after a previous birthday party disaster involving her nephew who led her to disintegrate him from future celebrations.
The mother, 35, shares her story about her son Cillian’s 14th birthday and family drama that still causes ripples a year later when she threw a large party for Cillian and invited all her cousins and friends to celebrate.
“The party went well for the first half, but when it was time to cut the cake I went over to the fridge to get it and saw that it was half eaten,” she writes in Her post.

The cake was a professionally manufactured dessert that cost $ 140 and happened to be a highlight for her son, who loved her special design. Mom explains, “I was obviously upset about this because this had been a cake that I had made from a professional baker who cost me about $ 140 and my son really loved the design.”
When she asked who had eaten the cake, her nephew Robbie, then 16, acknowledged it while his mother laughed off it. “My sister (44f) laughed off it when her son, Robbie, (16 m) told her he ate the cake because he was hungry,” she reminds.
Although he served a spread of wings, veggie plates, pizzas, chips and soft drinks, Robbie managed to eat half of the big cake.
“I am honestly still shocked that with all the food at the party Robbie still managed to clear half of a huge cake, it was enough to produce about 20 discs,” she shares.
With the birthday cake ruined, the mother had to make a line at the last minute to Walmart to buy a replacement and left his son without the cake he had been looking forward to. “I was obviously angry that my son could not have his cake and had to quickly go out and buy one from Walmart,” she says.

After the party, she called her sister to express her disappointment and asked for compensation for the expensive cake, but the conversation quickly became angry.
“She then accused me of being fatty phobic which is definitely not true, I have never once discriminated against Robbie at any time, this was just a false accusation,” she explains. Mom detailed that Robbie has struggled to eat Binge since he was 13 and weighs about 250 pounds, but she insists that her question was with his behavior, not his weight.
“My sister has never failed to let anyone know about it and expect everyone to bend back for Robbie because he is having a hard time,” she adds.
This year, Cillian asked for a smaller, only friends who allowed only two cousins to participate and especially excluded Robbie.
“I asked why and he explained to me that he was embarrassed for Robbie because all he did was make fun of his friends and him, bring his own uninvited plus one, and obviously he ate part of the cake,” says the mother.

She honored her son’s wishes and only invited her friends and two cousins, and most of her siblings understood the decision. “Fortunately, some of my siblings were understanding, the only one who had problems with this was my sister,” she says.
Her sister called, raging that Robbie was not invited and accused her once again of having problems with Robbie’s weight. “My sister was upset and said she knew we had problems with her son’s weight,” the mother writes.
Since then, her sister has given her the silent treatment and made it to Facebook to send her complaints, urged calls from other relatives and added the mother’s stress.
“Since then, she has been ranting all over Facebook and I have received calls from relatives and the whole situation has stressed me,” she concludes. Now the woman does not know how she continues for future birthday celebrations.
