Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well.

My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories and if you do love

a Reddit story, why not consider him a like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

Let's crack on with today's first story which comes from Square Indication 29 and says my stepdaughter ran away from

the birthday party I threw for her. I, 35 female, have been married for seven years to my husband,

45 male. It was a single father to my stepdaughter, Lucy 15 female. Also, I have a son from a previous

relationship, Toby 10 male. In these seven years,

Lucy never recognized us as family. And when she introduces us, we are dad's wife and dad's

wife's son. Birthdays are very important to me. Ever since Toby was born, I've thrown giant birthday parties for him. That didn't

change after I married. My husband and I thought about doing it for Lucy as well, but she refused.

She refuses every year and everything related to her birthday is banned from the house. She is turning

15 this year. I decided to throw her a surprise party. We organized it with Toby.

Invitations to her classmates, family and close friends, games, karaoke, catering and decorations.

Not even my husband knew. I took the day off from work and Toby skipped school to fix everything.

At night, my husband and Lucy arrived. They had dinner alone for her birthday.

And we yelled, surprise.

They didn't look happy.

But I assumed it was because of the surprise.

My husband didn't say anything to me and Lucy disappeared almost immediately.

I assumed to go talk to her friends.

The party was amazing. Everyone had fun. The games were a hit and overall I had a great time.

When bringing the cake to sing happy birthday, I called for Lucy, but she wasn't in the party.
