TikTok user Addie, who posts under @addieraej, uploaded a clip showing herself in tears.
She said: “My mum threw herself a birthday party and invited over 40 people.
“It’s 5pm, no one showed up and it started at 4pm, I’m crying.”
Addie added in the caption: “She made food and cleaned the whole house too.”
