Aibu to think it's not acceptable to let your child blow out Birthday candles on someone else's birthday? It was recently my ds 5th birthday we had a little tea party for family. I try to make a special effort for birthdays as mine were always half hearted or last minute growing up. After the song and my son blowing out his candles my nephew asked for them to be relit so he could blow them out. I explained it wasn't his birthday and that he could when it was his. He then ran out to nanny and she came in got a candle and lit it so he could blow it out. I found this really rude, it wasn't it 'special' day. I suppose I'm a bit sensitive as nephew also 5 tends to bully my son (deliberately takes toys off my son, teases him and provokes a reaction, lies that ds hit him when he hasn't ). What are everyone's thoughts? I've never let my child blow candles unless it's his birthday btw.
