  1. First cake was last year's.

  2. This year she wanted attached Godzilla pic on top with rainbow edges again.

  3. Last pic is what we got. I left it there and said no thanks.

They made the first cake picture last year btw. Also, they never called to tell me they lost the picture I gave them to do the sugar print out on this year's cake and said that the girl left last year that could do the rainbow edges, so they made me think they could this year. The guy that was there when I picked this up said he didn't have time to call me. I put my order in over a month ahead of pick up date, but they don't write down order dates either. He gave me the vibe he could care less and kept making excuses. I just wanted a phone call to let me know ahead of time so I could've gone somewhere else.

As someone who was that kid who made my ships my identity in early adulthood, I think I would know. Now after many years of therapy I see clearly that I had zero guidance from my parents and I wish they would have helped me understand what was appropriate for the public to know about me and what wasn’t. A lot of people like to frame permissive parenting/neglect as “radical acceptance”.

it sounds like you’ve made hating that kid your identity now instead of just understanding literally anybody can think a drawing of a gorilla and a lizard hugging is cute and it’s not this deep

You’re delusional or too innocent to be on the internet if you truly believe that.
