Amir is hoping it's just him and Baba going but he invites all of his extended family, making Amir upset because he just wants to spend time with him.
I can understand Amir's desire to spend time with his father.My dad works in Toronto and is gone early in the morning and doesn't get back till late at night, so i don't get to spend a lot of time with him during the week.
Amir also turns 13 in this chapter (the year being 1976), and Baba decided to throw a HUGE party for Amir.
"Baba's motto about throwing parties was this: invite the whole world or it's not a party." -pg99
Amir doesn't enjoy himself because he really doesn't know anyone at all.
This is relate-able to a lot of kids because parents are always trying to out-do each other with the parties they throw for there own kids. The only difference being that most kids have their friends , not people they don't know.
