Without being completely outing, part of my sister's job involves going into lots of people's homes. We have a group whatsapp chat with our mum and although not the closest of sisters, generally talk most days get along fine. Today she posted a short video she filmed of a picture someone had up on their wall of their deceased baby and simply captioned "it's dead". This person was unaware she did this. I was horrified. gently told her I thought it was inappropriate and really unprofessional and I got a barrage of abuse back saying I was being judgemental and did I think I was the moral police. My mum said nothing presumably to keep the peace. She has form for being unable to accept any type of criticism but now I'm left feeling like I'm in the wrong and shouldn't have said anything. AIBU?

That is disgusting, OP. My job involves working within homes too and I would never even consider taking photos of anything within their private property. Unprofessional. And to say that about a baby who has passed? Shocking. Please tell me she doesn't work with vulnerable people or children?
Is your sister autistic and so perhaps doesn't understand social boundaries?

What a heartless, nasty thing to do.

I think you were right to call her out on it.

Your sister should be reported to her employer.

Your sis is a bit of a prick (to put it mildly)

Crispsandcola · 02/07/2026 23:40

Nope, your sister's unprofessional and (sorry) a f*cking callous bitch.

Of course not. Why on earth are you asking?
