DH shouldn’t “jokingly” blow out ds birthday candles

[Quibbledibble]

DS7 has been very sick with stomach bug, started on his birthday so he hasn’t had birthday cake.
finally have his birthday cake with candles. Light them and sing happy birthday - DS all excited.
just as he’s about to blow them out, DH blows them out.
DS cries.
im fuming. AIBU
apparently this was a joke.

Who would eat a cake that someone has blown all over.

Your dh was a prick, but use a candle snuffer next time. To make it more special each child can have their own candle snuffer with their name on or something.

This. Or that the 7 year old lacks resilience for not finding the shitty joke funny.

Or to make it easier and safer, don't do candles in the first place

Even better!

Did he not get to do candles as a kid? How odd

It sounds like you were at home, not so party with school friends? So the candles are more of a main event, making it different from a usual meal.
I think what hasn't been mentioned is the hypocrisy. In most families a child would be scolded / told off for blowing out their siblings candles, or their mates. DS knows this yet an adult does it to him. That's got to sting!

That's awful. What an idiotic thing to do. Your poor poor child.

What a total dick. What else does he do? I’m guessing tip of iceberg

As a child I would have found this funny. Just like the candles that don’t blow out are funny. I honestly cannot understand why so many people are sensitive about this.

I wouldn't be eating cake someone with a stomach bug had blown all over 🤢

Me neither 🤢
