@@bro6568 Childhhood is pretty awful for many of us and I can't remember a Xmas or event where my family weren't violent with one another.......The best thing about an awful childhood is that you really appreciate the small, nice things that happen to you as an adult.......You never take any polite thing done for you for granted.
One thing my mom always taught me, if you get a birthday invite and as long as you don't have a prior commitment, you show up because you would feel bad if no one showed up to yours. I have now carried over this rule to my son. Showing up means a lot to people!!
I remember inviting my childhood friend to my bridal shower. She told me that she had a prior commitment that day. She was supposed to sing at her friend's wedding. Well the other wedding got canceled so she came to my shower after all.

Um no you would be surprised I'm a parent of three I invited my sons whole classroom and not one single person showed up they called to tell me they couldn't attend and were sorry though but not one out of 28 kids in his classroom came
"If there's cake, free food & fun, I'm there", my then 6 year old son. 😂 If we couldn't attend a birthday party, we would say so in the beginning. If we agreed to an invitation, we have been & will always be there 100%. I'm glad to see these precious babies get to have some fun on their birthdays.
I only had to miss one and I was ticked because it was the first and knock on wood the last time I ever got the flu and I had to miss it. My friend understood and I gave her the present later on.
I'm 48 now, but when I was 9 and when I 12, no one came to my birthday parties. It hurt, but I could tell it hurt my mom even more. She always found a way to make it better. I am so lucky to have her for a mom.
I’m 36 years old and this has been happening for decades now. I know someone that this happened to when we were 12. A few of my teenage birthdays I was by myself as well - and I remember my own 21st birthday party, everybody cancelled. Same happened to my friend, my birthday twin. Her 21st birthday, no one turned up, too. On my 23rd birthday, the guy I was seeing didn’t contact me because he forgot, however the girl he was cheating on me with, had the same date of birth and he remembered her birthday 🤣. That being said; this past year on my birthday, my friend turned up at my front door with a massive balloon, a cake and a massive bunch of flowers and I was not expecting it at all. She has no idea about previous birthdays where I was by myself, so this was not her trying to compensate! It more than made up for those previous birthdays where I was forgotten 😊

It happened to me as a kid and sometimes even as a young adult (my mom actually has ditched me on my bday lol). I have something called Asperger's but didn't know it growing up so that made have played a role. Now a days I just spend my birthday with those that matter and I feel like if people really care they will make some effort (even if it's just a quick text or message on social media) and those that don't, just write them off.
These kids don't deserve this, When I had my 8th and 9th B-day parties no one showed up at all, not even my best friend. It upset me a lot that I didn't even bother inviting anyone the next year. Those kids definitely don't deserve that.
This has happened to my husband, my kids, and myself so many times in the past. We would do what we needed to do to invite who we wanted to join and in the end, no one would come. So I had enough of disappointments that I stopped throwing parties. So we just have a birthday party with the immediate family and enjoy our time together. No more disappointments. Just heartbreaking seeing more people go through this. Even with RSVP's - not many people will let the person throwing the party know they aren't coming.
Same thing with me, when I try to throw & bday party for me or my son, rarely anyone shows up. And I get angry cuz I spent a lot of money on stupid useless extra chairs & stuff. So I just don’t spend my bday or my sons bday anymore (just dinners for me & him) bcuz I know no one’s gonna show up

Happened to me in the 4th grade. For the first time I had a birthday party where only classmates were invited instead of my many cousins. It was at a roller skating rink and several other kids were having their birthdays at the same time. They all had lots of kids at their party and my section was empty. Seeing that was too much for me to handle and I broke down and cried. Dad to the rescue. He raced around picking up all my cousins and we had fun. My teacher yelled at all my classmates when we came back to school for not coming and not RSVPing. That was almost 40yrs ago and scared me for life. Till this day I have never had another large birthday party. I only celebrate with immediate family or one or two friends.
The truth is, that's not right for your teacher to yell at the kids in class because you invited them all and nobody showed from school. You can't rely on kids from school to be at your bday parties. Your parents need to make better friends with kids already or should have taken you to the playground and made some.
This is why I rather not have any parties for kids, I rather spoil them for their birthday and buy them whatever they want. Instead of spending all that money so others can have fun and then not show up.
I tried parties once n never again. If their birthday was during the week I'd let then choose a place they wanted to go eat n on the weekend took them to do something fun.
Growing up my parents had 2 rules when it came to birthday parties. 1. you invited everyone in your class 2. you go to all the parties you were invited to (unless it conflicted heavily with our already made plans. It didn’t happen much)
Exactly. It's just good manners! There were three instances in my son's life where he was the only guest to show up and it was so depressing. The kids will always remember being shunned.
I'm so glad to see stuff like this. Growing up poor and being inable to celebrate my own, it makes me a lot happier to see that stuff is not that way for others.
This is definitely the parents, if you tell a kid “want to go to a birthday party?” 99% of the time they’ll be excited to go. There was a little girl my daughter made friends with at an outing once, they lived in a city about 30 minutes away from us. They got along so well and the little girl was telling my daughter and I how her parents hardly ever take her anywhere and she would love to spend time with my daughter again, so I got her mom’s number and we invited her to a playdate and my daughter’s birthday party even but the playdate was declined and she RSVPed the birthday party saying the girls dad will take her but was a no show and didn’t respond to messages.
My birthday is New Years Eve December 31st I'm 38 so I was so excited to put my feet up, eat and relax all day and night but when I was younger and wanted birthday parties 🥳 I know all about this. This was so kind. Shows that when given the chance humanity will always come to help. Hugs from Wasilla Alaska, Tschandra
My daughter’s was yesterday so I completely understand. It’s hard to throw her a party. She just turned 10. Hopefully it’ll get better once she’s older. I’m sure she will love being able to party on her 21st birthday on one of the biggest holidays lol
I am glad these kids had fun at their birthday celebration. I am 76 years plus and I never had a birthday party in my life. No cake, no ice cream and no presents and neither did my mother growing up but we all managed to survive. And we all grew up in the USA.
This happened on my first birthday party when I was turning like 9 or 10 years old. We rented a roller rink and slushies and even goodie bags for my entire class including an enormous cake and no one came. The next day I asked why and everyone claimed to be busy. Here’s the twist! My birthdays April 1st 😂I haven’t had a birthday party since and it’s just a family thing now with my grandma and grandpas and myself.
The reason this makes me a little worried is that back when, it was our siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents..., a best friend or 2 & maybe a neighbor kid or 2 who came to our parties when we were young. Sure maybe it did occur that more of our school associates would show up to 1 in our lifetime but mostly no. Today I'm sad because we rely so much on virtual strangers, people we don't have close bonds with and even those who have these super duper hectic weekend schedules to show up at these parties & events for our kids. It feels like a set up for them to feel like a reject verses we don't really have close bonds and understandings with these people. We havent created the villages to support one another in these areas for the kids. Alot of us don't live near our siblings and other family like we used to in order to have that built in village. The other thing is giving the child this heaviness of its so terrible that these people who owe you nothing didn't show up. I don't mean it harshly. I'd rather we have this perfect world where things magically turn out the way we want or imagine but it's just not that way. It feels like t.v. and media has help set it up for us to plan these things thinking people will just show up because they got an invitation...and because gosh it's my wonderful kid after all. I hope we move away from this for the kids sake. Even our own sake unless we purposely start building these villages that consciously support this.
Well when I had *birthday pool parties* it including games,horseback riding, a cookout and an overnight camp out in a tent and playhouse in my backyard. The whole village did show up 😂
Why? I blame the parents. Shame on all of the kids and their mother and fathers. This really broke my heart. A big thank you to the adults who helped celebrate and redo each of kids birthdays.
@@mark_spit7839 You have a point about some little kids being absolute horrors. That’s why I never, ever had a school class party for my kid. Normally it was about 6 friends, plus a few team mates from his competition side. Generally everyone came.
That's so sweet!!! I don't even need to imagine how the felt because I'm used to it- but honestly no one should be alone on their birthday! This just makes me smile once again! I just hope those people who helped the kids birthdays have a good life especially the kids! I just hope everyone smiles on their birthdays!
Just when you think humanity can’t be saved it redeemed. Then you see these amazing ppl stepping up for these kids and it restores a little more faith in humanity
Same here no one would show up but when ever my birthday would come. Me and my mom would do a mom and son day at the endof the day , i had my brothers and sisters and mom there it always been the best years still
@@kalebdoom7944 you should feel jealous that these kids got the special treatment and you didn’t instead of being glad they don’t have to go thru what you went thru
Screw this to the max.i am a Pistons fan!Welcome 2 Detroit.if they were not your friends to begin with.they may not be your friends after!you can drop those friends like a bad habit!!!!!
This is something that almost happened to my stepdaughters classmate. Her family had rented out a rec-center room, and had lots of pizzas ordered. I let my step daughter go even though she was grounded that day, but I was so glad she went when we got there. My step daughter was the only kid to show up to this girls 8th birthday out of 23 invited kids. After that no matter who invites her we bring her to any party she gets a invitation too. Sorry for any grammar errors, im typing this quickly.
This happened to an old friend of mine in second grade. She invite around 10 girls from school, they all said they would come, but I was the only one who showed up. Her family was really happy I came, and we played frog themed games and ate cupcakes.
I really feel bad for the first kid. His sad face also made me sad too, Glad he got that VIP treatment. He deserved it! (Edit because i added too many periods)
LOL I had to comment because I do that ALL THE TIME! After I post and reread my comment, I think oh no I put too many exclamation points or too many emojis and things like that so you’re not alone. 😊
This year my childhood friend whose birthday party was arranged was about to cancelled because of none of my friends showing up including me, at last I felt very bad, said Nobody deserves this. I cancelled my all plans called some of my friends and enjoyed party. He was very happy at that day. I saw his mood swing from Sad to happy in 2 hrs....😊
In india, specially in my locality, we die waiting for birthdays (when we were kids)🤣 it was a massive sadness if were not invited. Some even went without invitation😆
Thats hilarious! Children party crashing. 😂 here in the US many times there is a rule implemented by schools that you have to invite every kid in the class to your party if you hand invitations out at school. Lots of parents hate this rule. 😂
Same in France ! If someone invites you its more of a sign of honour and affection, so if you aren't able its something really sad and usually you try making it up later I mean at least in my case, but i think ive only ever missed one birthday party and it was cuz the person was bullying my friend
This is heartwarming!!! I was thrilled as a child when kids came to other kids parties and my mother kept up with all of the dates (60's) To the parents of those children who was a no show should had encouraged them to go...Its about fun and making memories...Happy Birthday's to both of you!!
This is why we stopped having parties for our son, the last 2 years no one has shown up so last year we did a birthday trip, went to wolf lodge and rented a beach house. My son loved it and we saved money while making core memories
I know the feeling, my birthday would be celebrated the same weekend of the super bowl. After I turned 5, my birthday had less and less people attending, until I told my parents I didn’t want to have a birthday party anymore. Not looking for a pity party, but kids remember.
My birthday is in December and i live in Canada so we usually get a lot of snow around that time of year, I remember when I was 8 nobody came to my birthday because of the weather but my best friend did and he passed away 2 years ago, R.I.P. Maverick. ❤️ forever 21!
It’s so heartbreaking that nobody came to these kids’ birthday parties. Thank goodness for these kind people who made their birthdays extra special!😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖
Who doesn’t like cake? No matter how people always say they don’t want a birthday party or make a fuss but deep down they really do. But it hits different when people don’t show for a kids birthday party.
it happen to me on my 16th birthday, so my relatives went and got kids who were my younger sister friends and i had a good time. never was friendly after that to the people i had invited.
I remember a new kid in elementary school was so happy that all of us classmates came to his birthday party that he started to cry because I guess no one in his other school ever showed up on his birthdays
One time I did a chuck e cheese party and the kids best friend had parents that didn't allow her to come but I had to pay for her spot anyway. I am so excited to see the kindness of these ppl that made things right for these kids.
We have a big family so they're enough to celebrate each kid's birthday growing up without inviting anybody else. Now that we're adults we still keep it within family but smaller gatherings now as some family have moved to other states.
When I was younger I had birthday parties where no one or only 1 or 2 showed up for my birthday. I was relentlessly bullied in school but thankfully we didn’t have social media in the mid 90’s so I wasn’t bullied online. I’m glad that they were able to have a great birthday after all. No child should have to be alone with no friends.
Maybe the reason we have a society full of fascists and crazy people is because parents aren’t doing enough to socialize their kids. Its a shame all of these kids had no one show up to their birthday.
This happened when I was 12. I had just moved to a different school district, but it was only ~20min drive away from my old school. My birthday is at the beginning of the school year and I had no friends at my new school so I invited my friends from my old school. Only one girl said she could make it, but then she flaked the morning of my birthday party. It was devastating, especially since I felt so alone at my new school. I’m well into my twenties now and still haven’t held a birthday celebration ever since.
I remember this happened to me when I was in 3rd grade. My mom made invitations that I could give to my whole 3rd grade class! My party was at a McDonalds but I was like 8 years old so that was the good stuff at the time. Anyway, I was so excited for my party and how much fun I was going to have! But when we got there and waited, nobody had even shown up yet and eventually nobody ever did. I was the most heartbroken 8 year old ever… but then my mother finds all the invitations in my backpack that I forgot to hand out at school and so it turns out I played myself. I couldn’t believe it! My dad felt bad for me and bought me a ps2 the next day so it was pretty worth nobody showing! 😂
This brings tears to my eyes cause I know what it’s like for no one to show up for your Big day. I’m glad that there still some decent people in the world 🌍 that made these young people happy 😊.
I'm not crying, you're crying... 🥺 I love that those cops showed up and even the dog was involved. That's rare, given the fact that they're typically not allowed to mingle with people, at least not on the clock.. so awesome! 👮♂️🚓
I had a birthday party for my daughter and no one showed up. I found out my "friend" got a hold of all the party guests and told them that I cancelled the party. Needless to say, I am not friends with her anymore.
Inviting the friends from his class is nice and thoughtful. For my son I always invited close friends and family. All his cousins and my friends children. This was more than enough. Never once thought to invite kids from his class. Except the friends I knew were close with him. Of course there's always a few that can't come for other reasons. I felt bad for those kids where no one showed up at all. That's sad. But wondering why family and close friends children instead of counting on his class to show up? You gotta know the parents. It can't just be random folks. Those parents didn't have a connection to this child so it was easy for them to not show. And some don't come because they might not be able to afford a gift and decide not to show up rather than walk in empty handed. The other's just had no connection.
There's a remedy for this. Bring cupcakes to school and ALL the "friends" can be there to celebrate. That's the old school way of having birthday parties. If you want a more intimate setting on a non school day...invite ONLY the families you know will show up.
Nobody should be alone on their birthday, those kids deserve the best birthday ever 😀

It was at a roller skating rink and several other kids were having their birthdays at the same time. They all had lots of kids at their party and my section was empty. Seeing that was too much for me to handle and I broke down and cried. Dad to the rescue. He raced around picking up all my cousins and we had fun. My teacher yelled at all my classmates when we came back to school for not coming and not RSVPing. That was almost 40yrs ago and scared me for life. Till this day I have never had another large birthday party. I only celebrate with immediate family or one or two friends.
:((
Getting yelled at for something you didn't do is crazy
The truth is, that's not right for your teacher to yell at the kids in class because you invited them all and nobody showed from school. You can't rely on kids from school to be at your bday parties. Your parents need to make better friends with kids already or should have taken you to the playground and made some.
Missing from the replies is the fact that your Dad is the real hero in this story. A real man of action, and a quick thinker too.
Your dad is the VIP.
This is why I rather not have any parties for kids, I rather spoil them for their birthday and buy them whatever they want. Instead of spending all that money so others can have fun and then not show up.
We do the same!! We never
Do any parties for my kids ,my husband just buy a lot of gift for them 😂
I tried parties once n never again. If their birthday was during the week I'd let then choose a place they wanted to go eat n on the weekend took them to do something fun.
That’s so freaking sad I’m so glad he got a birthday to enjoy🎉❤
A birthday to REMEMBER!
No it’s not
I'm 47 and never had a birthday party. I have social anxiety and withdrawal disorder. So it's not Alot of people I get on well with.
@@angieang26 you deserve & everyone a best b-day ever :) NMW
Growing up my parents had 2 rules when it came to birthday parties.
1. you invited everyone in your class
2. you go to all the parties you were invited to (unless it conflicted heavily with our already made plans. It didn’t happen much)
Inviting everyone in your class is very expensive though
That is why you need a family. A family who will treat you with love and respect and stand by you in your thick and thin.
that’s so heart warming 😢.
I make it a huge point to take my daughter to every birthday party she’s invited to. One of my fears is this happening to her 🥺
That's a good rule of thumb.
We do this too
Exactly. It's just good manners! There were three instances in my son's life where he was the only guest to show up and it was so depressing. The kids will always remember being shunned.
I'm so glad to see stuff like this. Growing up poor and being inable to celebrate my own, it makes me a lot happier to see that stuff is not that way for others.
This is definitely the parents, if you tell a kid “want to go to a birthday party?” 99% of the time they’ll be excited to go. There was a little girl my daughter made friends with at an outing once, they lived in a city about 30 minutes away from us. They got along so well and the little girl was telling my daughter and I how her parents hardly ever take her anywhere and she would love to spend time with my daughter again, so I got her mom’s number and we invited her to a playdate and my daughter’s birthday party even but the playdate was declined and she RSVPed the birthday party saying the girls dad will take her but was a no show and didn’t respond to messages.
That’s the thing, the kids aren’t obligated to go.
To those who made these kids feel special God will bless you for it.
My birthday is New Years Eve December 31st I'm 38 so I was so excited to put my feet up, eat and relax all day and night but when I was younger and wanted birthday parties 🥳 I know all about this. This was so kind. Shows that when given the chance humanity will always come to help. Hugs from Wasilla Alaska,

Happy belated bday! 😊
Taking new year new me to the next level
I have the same birthday! I turned 17. It sucks because everytime I have a birthday I have to celebrate New Year’s Eve too😢
Omg we have the same birthday!
My daughter’s was yesterday so I completely understand. It’s hard to throw her a party. She just turned 10. Hopefully it’ll get better once she’s older. I’m sure she will love being able to party on her 21st birthday on one of the biggest holidays lol
I am glad these kids had fun at their birthday celebration. I am 76 years plus and I never had a birthday party in my life. No cake, no ice cream and no presents and neither did my mother growing up but we all managed to survive. And we all grew up in the USA.
Damn which state (place)you grow up?
@@goda7137 Ohio
Never had one myself. No presents as a child or teenager.. No cake.
First birthday present I received I was 21 or 22.
This happened on my first birthday party when I was turning like 9 or 10 years old. We rented a roller rink and slushies and even goodie bags for my entire class including an enormous cake and no one came. The next day I asked why and everyone claimed to be busy. Here’s the twist! My birthdays April 1st 😂I haven’t had a birthday party since and it’s just a family thing now with my grandma and grandpas and myself.
Whoa. That would have been an awesome party. Sounds like they missed out.
Love u
I would've come! I love roller skating!
How’s ur first bday ur actual 9th or 10th bday???
@@nunya3461 Olivia meant it was her first birthday party. She probably never had one up until that point.
As an introvert, celebrating birthdays without guests is the best feeling ever!
Yep I feel you 🤘💪
As someone who both loves pizza and is an introvert, that b-day party would be like heaven on earth to me. The food's all MIIIINNNEEE!!!
the real party starts when everyone leaves and you have all the leftovers for yourself
Skill issue

You earn a friend with love ❤️ and trust
The reason this makes me a little worried is that back when, it was our siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents..., a best friend or 2 & maybe a neighbor kid or 2 who came to our parties when we were young. Sure maybe it did occur that more of our school associates would show up to 1 in our lifetime but mostly no.
Today I'm sad because we rely so much on virtual strangers, people we don't have close bonds with and even those who have these super duper hectic weekend schedules to show up at these parties & events for our kids.
It feels like a set up for them to feel like a reject verses we don't really have close bonds and understandings with these people. We havent created the villages to support one another in these areas for the kids. Alot of us don't live near our siblings and other family like we used to in order to have that built in village.
The other thing is giving the child this heaviness of its so terrible that these people who owe you nothing didn't show up. I don't mean it harshly. I'd rather we have this perfect world where things magically turn out the way we want or imagine but it's just not that way.
It feels like t.v. and media has help set it up for us to plan these things thinking people will just show up because they got an invitation...and because gosh it's my wonderful kid after all.
I hope we move away from this for the kids sake. Even our own sake unless we purposely start building these villages that consciously support this.
Couldn't be better said 💯
Omg totally agree!!
Well when I had *birthday pool parties* it including games,horseback riding, a cookout and an overnight camp out in a tent and playhouse in my backyard. The whole village did show up 😂
Its a birthday party its not that deep. As a society we cant stay in the past forever we have to move on
Wouldn't it be better to have a small party with the family and maybe the kid's BFF?
I feel sorry for the kids but at least they had other people to accompany them❤
Why? I blame the parents. Shame on all of the kids and their mother and fathers. This really broke my heart. A big thank you to the adults who helped celebrate and redo each of kids birthdays.
Well you can’t blame the kids, it’s not like they have cars to go themselves
Kids aren’t obligated to go to patty’s-
@YME true
@YME I was just gonna post something similar. Little kids can be A- holes too.
@@mark_spit7839 You have a point about some little kids being absolute horrors. That’s why I never, ever had a school class party for my kid. Normally it was about 6 friends, plus a few team mates from his competition side. Generally everyone came.
That's so sweet!!! I don't even need to imagine how the felt because I'm used to it- but honestly no one should be alone on their birthday! This just makes me smile once again! I just hope those people who helped the kids birthdays have a good life especially the kids! I just hope everyone smiles on their birthdays!
2:57 - THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY SPEECH EVER!!!!!!! BRAVO TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THESE CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAYS INTO A REAL MEMORY FOR THEM!!!!!!!
Just when you think humanity can’t be saved it redeemed. Then you see these amazing ppl stepping up for these kids and it restores a little more faith in humanity
i remember growing up that i would invite people to my party’s and hardly anyone would show up. glad these kids don’t have to experience that
Same here no one would show up but when ever my birthday would come. Me and my mom would do a mom and son day at the endof the day , i had my brothers and sisters and mom there it always been the best years still
You should feel jealous
@@thekannenball huh
@@kalebdoom7944 you should feel jealous that these kids got the special treatment and you didn’t instead of being glad they don’t have to go thru what you went thru
Screw this to the max.i am a Pistons fan!Welcome 2 Detroit.if they were not your friends to begin with.they may not be your friends after!you can drop those friends like a bad habit!!!!!
HAPPY BIG BIRTHDAY

NO ONE DESERVES TO

Celebrating alone is better tbh

How people be so cruel to not show up to a party.
Exactly! 😢
Maybe, because they have no friends…?
@@GuestTH-camUser That's what is cruel
Then I want you to show up to every damn party ever, or else you’re a hypocrite
@@1of8plusbillion How wonderful your such a good psychic.
This is something that almost happened to my stepdaughters classmate. Her family had rented out a rec-center room, and had lots of pizzas ordered. I let my step daughter go even though she was grounded that day, but I was so glad she went when we got there. My step daughter was the only kid to show up to this girls 8th birthday out of 23 invited kids. After that no matter who invites her we bring her to any party she gets a invitation too. Sorry for any grammar errors, im typing this quickly.
Seeing this kind of empathy and compassion poured out for these beautiful children gives me hope,and renews my faith in humanity! ❤👍
I just feel bad like people took time and effort to plan and make the party only no one would come. It hurts me deeply 😭
What social media should be for and not ruining lives. 💛
Huh?
Exactly and social media can either make or break you. It can make you if you use it correctly.

This happened to an old friend of mine in second grade. She invite around 10 girls from school, they all said they would come, but I was the only one who showed up. Her family was really happy I came, and we played frog themed games and ate cupcakes.
That nice of you and I beat you two have more fun
They can say they will come because no kids will turn down a party! But they can't drive themselves to the party!
I'm glad that you two had a good time! I'm sure that you being there meant the world to her!
A sad beginning with a happy ending!
Bravo to all those who made the birthdays a happy event for these beautiful children.
God bless you, all!
These acts of kindness make the world a beautiful place!!! It's the goodness in people which make everything worth experiencing and lovely.
My heart cries out for these kids I was once like those two had a learning disability and school and ADHD before I was diagnosed for special classes,
Special education classes really did suck miserable for me at least very humiliating getting picked on for it
You’re absolutely right friend never felt good enough or smart enough thank you for sharing
His face at his party when no one showed his gut wrenching. I’m glad he was able to have a bday party he truly deserved!
I really feel bad for the first kid. His sad face also made me sad too, Glad he got that VIP treatment. He deserved it!
(Edit because i added too many periods)
LOL I had to comment because I do that ALL THE TIME! After I post and reread my comment, I think oh no I put too many exclamation points or too many emojis and things like that so you’re not alone. 😊
@LadyKate huh
Explain what the kid did to deserve the VIP treatment…
God bless these people for doing what they did to make a child’s special day happen! A child’s smile is worth a billion!
Praise GOD to all those people that showed up for these children birthday parties!
1:11 Someone should really take that candle out of Chuck E's eye.
😂 they did it for the kid who got stood up, it had to happen 😂😂😂
@@jsmithsemper4848 Maybe it's a metaphor for how these kids and parents feel about no one showing up.
@@Isaac_the_Organist a biblical metaphor at that.
Lol
I can't just blame the classmates for not showing up, I blame their parents too. I'm glad these kids was able to enjoy their birthdays.
Don’t blame the kids it’s their choice not to go
@@thekannenball yes i mean why is it a must to go to a birthday party anyways especially introverts
Kids and their parents can be so cruel. I was bullied as a child and know what it’s like.
This year my childhood friend whose birthday party was arranged was about to cancelled because of none of my friends showing up including me, at last I felt very bad, said Nobody deserves this. I cancelled my all plans called some of my friends and enjoyed party. He was very happy at that day. I saw his mood swing from Sad to happy in 2 hrs....😊
Pic of him at table alone is so sad. It's late but Happy Birthday pal. Glad you had a good one.
In india, specially in my locality, we die waiting for birthdays (when we were kids)🤣 it was a massive sadness if were not invited. Some even went without invitation😆
Same in Philippines 🇵🇭.
Same in nuña
Same in Mexico
Thats hilarious! Children party crashing. 😂 here in the US many times there is a rule implemented by schools that you have to invite every kid in the class to your party if you hand invitations out at school. Lots of parents hate this rule. 😂
Same in France ! If someone invites you its more of a sign of honour and affection, so if you aren't able its something really sad and usually you try making it up later
I mean at least in my case, but i think ive only ever missed one birthday party and it was cuz the person was bullying my friend
This is heartwarming!!! I was thrilled as a child when kids came to other kids parties and my mother kept up with all of the dates (60's) To the parents of those children who was a no show should had encouraged them to go...Its about fun and making memories...Happy Birthday's to both of you!!
Faith in humanity 🙏
What about faith in humanity for the people that didn't show up?
This is why we stopped having parties for our son, the last 2 years no one has shown up so last year we did a birthday trip, went to wolf lodge and rented a beach house. My son loved it and we saved money while making core memories
I know the feeling, my birthday would be celebrated the same weekend of the super bowl. After I turned 5, my birthday had less and less people attending, until I told my parents I didn’t want to have a birthday party anymore. Not looking for a pity party, but kids remember.
It doesn’t fall on the Super Bowl every year.
If i couldn’t make it to a party I always made sure the parent knew and wished their kid a happy birthday.
My birthday is in December and i live in Canada so we usually get a lot of snow around that time of year, I remember when I was 8 nobody came to my birthday because of the weather but my best friend did and he passed away 2 years ago, R.I.P. Maverick. ❤️ forever 21!
Oh no! I’m so sorry! That’s wayyyy too young! RIP Maverick🙏
Maverick? Kinda goofy ngl, sounds more like a dogs name
@@1of8plusbillion that’s so rude and inconsiderate omg
@@Luke_05 yeah I agree
That is so mean and sad how nobody show up to their birthday parties. God bless him and the people who celebrated his birthday.
It’s so heartbreaking that nobody came to these kids’ birthday parties. Thank goodness for these kind people who made their birthdays extra special!😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖
Who doesn’t like cake? No matter how people always say they don’t want a birthday party or make a fuss but deep down they really do. But it hits different when people don’t show for a kids birthday party.
This video is wholesome.❤️
They're never there when you want them but they always come when you don't need them
This is so heart warming to watch . Thank you for the people that made these kids days so special.You’re truly amazing and beautiful ppl.❤
Thank you for making the world of Kids enjoyable.
it happen to me on my 16th birthday, so my relatives went and got kids who were my younger sister friends and i had a good time. never was friendly after that to the people i had invited.
umderstandable..they were fake
I remember a new kid in elementary school was so happy that all of us classmates came to his birthday party that he started to cry because I guess no one in his other school ever showed up on his birthdays
This is actually a nice story. Your classmates seem like a bunch of reasonable kids. Top marks to their parents as well.
As a parent why would you take a pic of your kid alone
For clout
A stunt
To post on fb or insta ....and blast their son story online......to gain sympathy and shame the other parents and children for not coming....
Sooooo proud of everyone that made these Childrens days to remember Blessings Always 🙏🏽💛
One time I did a chuck e cheese party and the kids best friend had parents that didn't allow her to come but I had to pay for her spot anyway. I am so excited to see the kindness of these ppl that made things right for these kids.
Sad to say that people only cared about themselves. :(
I don’t celebrate birthdays but this sounds like something that would happen to me lol
same
We have a big family so they're enough to celebrate each kid's birthday growing up without inviting anybody else. Now that we're adults we still keep it within family but smaller gatherings now as some family have moved to other states.
If you know your child doesn't have that many friends then don't rent out a space. You should have just done something with the family.
When I was younger I had birthday parties where no one or only 1 or 2 showed up for my birthday. I was relentlessly bullied in school but thankfully we didn’t have social media in the mid 90’s so I wasn’t bullied online. I’m glad that they were able to have a great birthday after all. No child should have to be alone with no friends.
Maybe the reason we have a society full of fascists and crazy people is because parents aren’t doing enough to socialize their kids. Its a shame all of these kids had no one show up to their birthday.
How can parents do this too children. Because It's the parents who decide where the children go.
Still a lot of good in this world. Happy new year from Syria y'all ❤
Oh dear, this is so heartwarming!
Thank you so much for sharing this very significant and relevant message of kindness and empathy. God bless!

My son has been the only friend on several occasions to show up at other kid’s birthday parties. We try to make every single party we can.
No, the world is like that! But there’s kindness in it as well

This happened when I was 12. I had just moved to a different school district, but it was only ~20min drive away from my old school. My birthday is at the beginning of the school year and I had no friends at my new school so I invited my friends from my old school. Only one girl said she could make it, but then she flaked the morning of my birthday party. It was devastating, especially since I felt so alone at my new school. I’m well into my twenties now and still haven’t held a birthday celebration ever since.
It’s time to move on
I remember this happened to me when I was in 3rd grade. My mom made invitations that I could give to my whole 3rd grade class! My party was at a McDonalds but I was like 8 years old so that was the good stuff at the time. Anyway, I was so excited for my party and how much fun I was going to have! But when we got there and waited, nobody had even shown up yet and eventually nobody ever did. I was the most heartbroken 8 year old ever…
but then my mother finds all the invitations in my backpack that I forgot to hand out at school and so it turns out I played myself. I couldn’t believe it! My dad felt bad for me and bought me a ps2 the next day so it was pretty worth nobody showing! 😂
Bro thumbs up to your dad!! most parents would yell at you and say your the reason nobody showed up but obviously not yours!! :D
Children can be so cruel sometimes... But don't let it stop you for having your birthday.
This brings tears to my eyes cause I know what it’s like for no one to show up for your Big day. I’m glad that there still some decent people in the world 🌍 that made these young people happy 😊.
i remember in first grade i invited my whole class to my birthday party and no one showed up. i'm so happy none of these kids had to go through that
that hurts me
I promise that’s how I feel each time I have a party for one of my boys and people do this , so it’s only family moving forward .
I'm not crying, you're crying... 🥺
I love that those cops showed up and even the dog was involved. That's rare, given the fact that they're typically not allowed to mingle with people, at least not on the clock.. so awesome! 👮♂️🚓
It’s so beautiful to see these amazing people helping to make their day so special 🇦🇺❤️
I had a birthday party for my daughter and no one showed up. I found out my "friend" got a hold of all the party guests and told them that I cancelled the party. Needless to say, I am not friends with her anymore.
Inviting the friends from his class is nice and thoughtful. For my son I always invited close friends and family. All his cousins and my friends children. This was more than enough. Never once thought to invite kids from his class. Except the friends I knew were close with him. Of course there's always a few that can't come for other reasons.
I felt bad for those kids where no one showed up at all. That's sad. But wondering why family and close friends children instead of counting on his class to show up? You gotta know the parents. It can't just be random folks. Those parents didn't have a connection to this child so it was easy for them to not show. And some don't come because they might not be able to afford a gift and decide not to show up rather than walk in empty handed. The other's just had no connection.
There's a remedy for this. Bring cupcakes to school and ALL the "friends" can be there to celebrate. That's the old school way of having birthday parties.
If you want a more intimate setting on a non school day...invite ONLY the families you know will show up.
