My mom may not have been as upset as I recall her being.
I also preferred to play with my sister who was 13 years old because at 6 years old, developmentally speaking, family was still more significant to me than friends.
Emotional Associations
Confusion- This was the first birthday I had after my mom's parents got divorced and at the time they were taking turns with visiting us and so only my grandpa came to see me since my grandma had come for my sister's birthday the month before.
Excitement- I had never had a big birthday party with friends from school and I got to invite a lot of them and had a fun time.
Amygdala assisted in the retention of these memories
Guilt- because my mom allowed me to open one of my presents before my dad was home and I felt like he would be sad or mad at me.
I thought that we opened the present because I kept bothering my mom about it, but when I talked to her recently she said she let me open it because she genuinely forgot that my dad wasn't home yet.
Gifts I received were also very colorful, specifically mermaid dolls
