Getting gifts is one of the biggest joys for kids on their birthdays.

This woman talks about a friend who neglected to get her daughter a birthday gift.

This may not sound like a big deal, but it just might be the end of their friendship.

Read the full story below.

AITA for blocking her after she showed up empty handed to my daughter’s birthday party?

My daughter has a sister by another mother.

Their birthdays are both in December.

We, the two moms, became close recently.

We decided to help each other plan each other’s kid’s birthday parties.

This woman’s friend sent her gift ideas.

She sent me her daughter’s invite.

It came with what she wanted me to buy for her daughter.

Also included was what she wanted me to get her kids for Christmas.

I sent her my daughter’s invite and the registry.

The friend came to her daughter’s party without a gift.

My daughter’s birthday came first.

She showed up along with an additional kid that was not invited or RSVP’d for.

They showed up with no present.

She was shocked.

I was surprised.

I had already bought her kid a gift.

I thought it was weird that she would not buy my child one.

I texted her and said it hurt my feelings that she didn’t bring her anything.

She blocked the friend.

Her response was this:

“I figured my presence should have been enough for you.”

So, I told her I didn’t like her energy and I blocked her, and we haven’t spoken since.

She already bought gifts for her friend’s three kids.

I would like to add that she has 3 kids.

I buy gifts for all of them.

I had also already started buying off their Christmas list that she had asked me to buy.

I have one child.

Her friend’s daughter’s party was extravagant.

She also spent over a thousand on her kid’s birthday party and presents.

I don’t want to sound entitled, but I feel like if you had that much for all that, you could have set aside $20.

She could’ve gotten my daughter something.

She felt betrayed.

Even though it may not sound like it, for me, it’s more about the principle.

She knew she was sending me links for things to buy for her kids.

She was aware that I was actually making it happen.

And she didn’t even stop at Dollar General for mine.

She didn’t like her friend’s response.

And then, her response was just over the top to me.

No apology or anything.

So, AITA for cutting her off?

That is pretty weird to expect her to buy gifts but not return the favor.

Your presence is great, but children expect actual presents.
