People are also applauding the mother for defending her daughter’s decision to call him out.
Garrett told BuzzFeed News her little brother is obsessed with Super Mario characters. Last year, they bought him a Mario and Luigi-themed cake for his birthday. This year, the almost 4-year-old requested a Princess Peach cake.

The kids’ mom, Shawna Mills, was “thrilled” about the request and shared the cake design on her Facebook. But soon after, Barrett’s dad — who both Mills and Garrett described as a “deadbeat” who’s “never been around”— commented on the cake, displeased. “That’s just wrong!” Barrett’s dad wrote.
Mills told BuzzFeed News she was out with her daughter when they saw Barrett's dad's Facebook response. She then watched her daughter quickly get on her phone to type a response, but she expected as much.
“I knew it was going to happen — she really doesn’t keep her mouth shut about anything, especially about Barrett,” she said.

Garrett promptly responded to her brother’s dad comment. “I’m pretty sure judging a 4-year-old’s interests while simultaneously being an uninvolved parent is more wrong than a little kid liking Princess Peach,” she wrote.
“It was very annoying honestly,” Garrett said. “He's not involved at all and has never been there for milestones like [Barrett's] first steps and first words, birthdays, holidays, etc.”
“He doesn't pay for anything and never has.”
BuzzFeed News has reached out to Barrett's dad for comment.
