Entitled Rich Parents Lured All the Kids from My Daughter’s Birthday Party to Theirs – Karma Got Them Back Immediately

Six months ago, we lost her dad. A terrible accident. Since then, it’s just been the two of us, trying to get through each day without breaking down. I wanted her birthday to be a bright spot in a hard year, something she could smile about again.

Lily was worried about this. “Mom, what if everyone goes to Chloe’s party and doesn’t come to mine?” she asked one night as I tucked her in.

Well, I was wrong.
