AIBU for blowing out my nephew’s birthday candles as a joke

What’s that got to do with it? Because of your health issues you were given what sounds like the best bedroom in the accommodation but then complained because everyone else said you couldn’t use the other toilet. You then had a strop because your personal toilet was down a spooky corridor.

Wow, you came off incredibly badly in the toilet thread, which ultimately had nothing to do with your health condition and everything to do with the fact you are a drama llama, and here you go again.

Simple note for you @AliceNotInChains unless they are candles on a cake for YOU, you do not have any right to blow them out. The fact your nephew laughed simply means he has more manners at 6 than you as a grown ass adult.

Probably because everywhere is shut, the weather is crap, and people are bored.😉

But you didn’t use the shared bathroom because of your IBS - you said it was for a wee only, because it was further to your en-suite which was accessed down a spooky corridor. And I haven’t ASed for that, it stuck in my mind because you couldn’t see why you were unreasonable to want to have your cake and eat it too. Or at least blow out the candles.

The fact that you have health issues isn’t relevant because no one is mocking that. The point that you completely fail to grasp (yet again) is that you can’t snaffle the best bedroom and facilities for yourself and then also insist on using the one for everyone else too. On your last thread you couldn’t understand why you couldn’t use whatever bathroom you wanted while simultaneously insisting that no one - not even your DH - was allowed to use the en suite but you.

In this thread you’ve tacitly admitted that you blew out your 6 yr old nephew’s candles to annoy your sister.

The common theme in both your threads is that you seem utterly unable to see alternate (majority) views and are insistent that you’re completely in the right.

Jokingly? That would be pretending you might (because it's outrageous) and then not actually doing.

Exactly, leave the 6 year old out of it.

But this isn't about your sister and it isn't about you. It's about a young child having some of his joy on his own special day taken away from him.

My ex used to pull similar stunts. He thought that he was hilarious but he just looked like a sad lonely tool.

OP, def took it a step too far.
Pretending you're going to blow the candles out is a joke, actually doing it not so much.

In short, stay away from other people’s toilets and birthday candles.

It’s the sort of thing my sister would do, she likes everything to be about her. Especially at other people’s celebrations.

I don't think most people who have IBS find that an unavoidable symptom of it is spoiling young children's fun for no reason whatsoever.

About 50 posts ago the OP said she realised it wasn't an appropriate thing to do and wouldn't do it again, not sure why everyone then felt the need to continue to have a go at her.

Can someone link me to en-suite toilet thread please? I’m already over-invested.

P.S. Twattish behaviour OP. I speak as someone who can be a bit of a twat sometimes, so if I think you’re a massive twat, you probably are one.

YABU.

solely because the biggest thing about blowing out candke on your birthday cake is when you can’t get the last few out and have to keep going - the everyone claps.

Gets more fun as you get older!

What is wrong with you? Taking joy from a six year old of their birthday! It wasn’t a joke so let’s not pretend to say that to make it better. He probably didn’t know how to react. Shame on you.

The reasons behind why the OP is doing it are more the problem, not the blowing out of the candle (which might or might not be a dick move depending on their motives, eg "trying to help" wouldn't be too bad, bit misjudged maybe but that's it)
OP has made it clear with her posts though that it's more to do with trying to piss her sister off with her "organised" fun.

Blowing out candles on your cake is not an essential boring chore that has to be done as efficiently as possible, one way or another - like the washing up or emptying the kitchen bin. It's a simple, fun way for a young child to be the centre of attention for a moment on their own special day.

I'd understand more if it were a baby or a 1yo who couldn't physically blow out the candles and had a bit of 'help' from an adult (who would still centre the baby for supposedly having done it); but most 6yo children can manage it perfectly well themselves., even if it does take more than one puff.

It's a really spiteful thing to do, to take over and steal a child's special moment and make it all about you - and maybe also give the child a negative message that they are 'incompetent', rather than enjoying celebrating a little birthday ritual.

This thread not going the way you’d hoped? Still a dick

Because the OP did it to annoy her sister - she’s more or less admitted it - she also has previous threads on here that some of us recognise. She has a habit of making things all about her.

Why bother asking on aibu if you are just going to disagree anyway? Despite the fact that about 98% of people say that you are unreasonable.

This one is even more unreasonable than your toilet post the other day. I don't know you, but based on this post, you strike me as unkind, and someone who doesn't give a shit about other people's feelings. Although judging by your responses to other people's comments, I doubt you give a shit about that.
