Mum left in tears after no one shows up to daughter's 3rd birthday

A young mum has taken to social media after being left devastated after no one turned up to her daughter's third birthday party.

Breanna Strong posted a video on TikTok showing all the hard work and money that had gone into her daughter's birthday.

She hired a soft play area, decorated the room with balloons, and purchased food for the 27 children she thought she would be feeding.

On the day of the party, sadly no one turned up, leaving little Avery to celebrate alone.

Her mum shared a video, in which she showed her daughter eating a slice of pizza while sitting at a table by herself and said: "We invited 27 kids to Avery's third birthday party," Breanna said in her video.

"Not a single one of her friends turned up."

After throwing a pizza box in the bin, she added: "Money and time wasted. Breaks my heart so badly. Literally going to go home and snuggle my babies."

Breanna captioned her video: "I wish I was making this up."

People were quick to jump to the comments section, with one writing: "This is a rule at my house.

"If we are invited, we’re going! We have been the only ones that show up. So sad this happens I’m so sorry."

Another person wrote: "This happened to me on my 16th bday. Never had tried again until I was like 26 and it happened again. I’m 39, now I always treat myself to a spa day."

Another mum wrote: "We don’t do parties anymore.

"All the money we would have spent on it goes to what the birthday kid wants."

"Oh man," another added.

"This happened for my son’s 8th birthday and I lied and I told him it was my fault so he wouldn’t feel bad."

To which Breanna replied: "It’s not fair. My heart literally hurts."

She added in response to another comment: "There was a planned event on Facebook.

"Seven families said they were coming and three changed their rsvp this morning and others didn’t show."
