AITA for not wanting the same shit my parents want on my birthday? I don’t want to see anyone bc I get off work from a hard job. They want to go eat polish food (we don’t eat that?) but it’s a Friday so I can’t even say I want sushi (they hate it)

No, its YOUR birthday and it sounds like they're using your day as an excuse to eat out and get what they want

2 years ago I crashed out bc all I wanted a sushi not some fuck ass pasta my mom makes like Midwestern goulash without the bland ground beef. No I had to settle for yea a “fancy” corporation chain restaurant and eat the same thing I get always but not really special to me. I didn’t want it. It’s been the same since bc they don’t try to know me

My parents just ask me if I want to go out to eat for my birthday. But it doesn’t have to be ON my birthday.

Or that I planned a whole trip by myself bc for years none of my friends wanted to hang out or come celebrate or if I asked months in advance it would be a no for traveling even if I pushed my birthday off by a whole month to align with their spring breaks - they had other plans made after I asked every time. We are no longer friends. So I’m solo on it. Had to ‘disappoint’ my dad bc he said my carry on WOULD be this fuck ass bag he has like ?? Hell no ?? I’ll use my own shit that’s cute
