Hi, op here. So I understand that while strawberries aren’t technically berries, I am in fact still allergic to them and pretty much every berry and berry like fruit, I’ve been hospitalized due to this so we all take it very seriously. And btw lobby_bee I’m not only a barely 5’2 woman, I’m a psychology major who is open to talk to you about all this anger you have for random people on the internet. Oh, and you misspelled grateful :)

WTF is up with all the "don't be such a complainer" comments!? A: this is a site FOR COMPLAINING, B: a parent's primary job is to look out for their child's safety. Forgetting that your kid has an extreme allergy is very strange. I can only assume there was a second parent who always took care of OP because this one seems asleep on the job, C: Yes it is the thought that counts- and the thought expressed by this gift was "I have so little interest in you I don't even remember the time(s) you were hospitalized". And D: most people want to feel important and loved especially on a big birthday. Having someone close to you do something that looks an awful lot like they don't love you and don't see you as important, on your birthday, definitely is a valid excuse to feel upset.
OP I am sorry about the cake, and I am sorry about the dickheads you've encountered here.
