Mom Defends Asking Guests at Daughter's Birthday to Bring $5 for Backyard Renovation in Lieu of Gifts (Exclusive)


Rachel Gibbs, known on TikTok as @rachonlife, opened up in a now-viral TikTok about a few decisions she made for her daughter's first birthday that deviate from the norm.

Tearfully, Gibbs said she would be "taking a little bit of a break from TikTok" after people called her "the s-------- mom on the planet" who "doesn't love Hazel." I am requesting that our friends and family come to my daughter's first birthday party and don't bring any gifts because we truly do not need anything," she leveled in her TikTok. I have found a community of over 200,000 people who want to hear what I have to say on the silliest and hardest and saddest and scariest and funniest parts of parenthood and life," she says.
