Parents that put this kind of effort into making their kids' birthdays are truly heaven-sent. It's so sad that another parent sought to guilt-trip our narrator into doing this labor of love instead of doing it themselves or even just putting more effort into doing research into a professional to pay for their product.

Yes, she made time for her daughter because it's her daughter. Also, she knew well ahead of time when her own daughter's birthday was an was able to plan accordingly. Why would our narrator feel obligated to do the same for a little girl she doesn't know, last-minute.

Entitled mom refuses to take no for an answer when busy engineer with a baking hobby refuses to make a cake for her daughter's birthday: 'I decided it wasn't worth the hassle'
If you've ever gone above and beyond for your kid's birthday, you know that it can take quite a lot of time, love, and energy to make it special. Maybe you spent hours assembling goodie-bags, used up a whole afternoon going from store to store to find every Spider-Man decoration you could get your hands on, or, if you're especially skilled, made a show-stopping cake. My own parents would stay up until midnight blowing up balloons and secretly fill my room with them so that I'd wake up to a wonderful surprise each year. It's the kind of labor of love that is unforgettable for a parent but quite exhausting for a parent. But what if another parent sees that effort and decide that they're entitled to it, too?
That's what happened to one mom who shared her story online. After making a stunning Rapunzel-themed cake for her four-year-old daughter's party, she was cornered by another preschool parent demanding a similar cake for her own child. It didn't matter that the mom worked a stressful and demanding job, or that the cake took a whole week of planning and decorating; nah, this entitled parent insisted that she should just "find the time" and totally refused to take no for an answer.
