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

[AliceNotInChains]

My nephews 6th birthday party yesterday. He was struggling to blow all the candles out so I jokingly blew the remaining ones out for him. My sister went on a full on strop over it saying I ruined his moment. AIBU to think she’s completely over reacting?? She ended up relighting the candles for him to “have another go” making it a much bigger deal than it needed to be.

Not cool. He is six years old. That wasn't a "joke" that was mean. Shame on you! You should know better
These things are important to children!

So OP, you got the attention at a child’s birthday party, now what?

Did he really laugh?Or are you feeling guilty and making excuses?If he laughed ,his Mum wouldnt have been annoyed.
Such a thoughtless thing to do. Not funny.

I don’t see where the joke is. I wonder are you trying to downplay what you did by using the word ‘jokingly’…?

Hopefully your grovelling apology and promise to never to do it again will suffice.

This thread is nasty.

Not the OP, who said at the beginning she wouldn't do it again, and agreed with me ages ago that she had made a faux pas,
Nope, the nastiness has come from the pile-on she has had to read over the last day, being called all the horrible names under the sun.

You would think she had eaten her nephew, not helped him blow his bloody candles out.🙄
Some of the bullies on here really need to get a life.

What kind of idiot does this to a kid on their birthday?!

🙄

How old are you…7?
What a childish, nasty, 'me me me', thing to do!!
Grow up. And apologise!!

You implied the OP had a mental illness, can you imagine if she did, how all the vitriol in this thread would make her feel?
Calling people names whilst hiding behind your keyboard doesn't make you clever....it makes you a coward, well done.

I don't really get why this would be a joke?

Hilarious. 🫩

These threads are always funny. OP asks AIBU? Nearly everyone says YABI. And the OP comes back with "no I'm not"

Exactly, why ask if you don't want people to have a different opinion than your own?

Hey, you're not listening.
It was a twattish thing to do.
Don't do it again.
Or make something about you when it isn't.

Obviously not.

What OP did wasn’t great but there’s really no need to call her such a vile misogynist word.

We had a good day out today, funny how all those involved are now over it yet people on here are still burning up with fury over it 😂

Good for you.

Incidentally, for the first time since I came here, I have reported this thread; the nastiness aimed at you throughout has been ridiculous.

I am glad it hasn't bothered you. x

Ah, so you didn't like the birthday boy getting some laughs and attention on his birthday so decided to rain on his parade. I guess some of the posters here are right about you, not happy unless you are the center of attention. Grow up op

I repeat my comment from your last thread about how you don’t care how your behaviour affects others!!

I sometimes wonder on here if some of the posts are a windup. Surely you know not to blow out a child’s candles.

Definitely describes op

Yes you were OTP
