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.

Don't be surprised, or horrified, if you aren't invited next year.

Your family must really dislike you. Poor boy.

No one asks to be bullied. People are bullied because of their behaviour and what they say.

She asked for opinions. You and several others told her she was weird, annoying, rude , crazy a dick! List is endless.

Another saying dick move - plus, one person’s spit on a cake is bad enough, let alone yours as well…

16 pages over 2 candles being blown out. 😂

This. 👏

same m.. mn bonkers ahoy!

This!

Agree 100%.

Mentally ill, nasty, horrible, the list goes on.
The bullies have come out in force on this thread.

This!
what on earth possessed you
I’d have gone mental and you wouldn’t be coming to any further birthdays!

Where does she say her intention was to help him? She said she did it “as a joke”.

I’d get it if she’d beat the kid. Burnt him with candles. She was a bit annoying at worst.

Honestly, these same posters would cry
over online bullying. Yet they read god knows how many pages of abuse and add to it!

Hopefully the op is made of strong stuff!

It was a selfish thing to do.

It's his birthday, so it's about him, not you

It’s all about ME!!!!

An all time low with this thread.
The majority of posters have been like vultures, like someone else said, you would have thought she had eaten her nephew, not just blew a couple of candles out.

Arsehole behaviour, you are definitely the twat in this situation.

I would assume you have very low emotional intelligence. A child’s birthday party is a big event for them. You doing something like that takes the attention away from the birthday boy and makes you look bad.

16 pages about 2 candles, or getting competitive with a 6 year old child, or having zero patience with a 6 year old child on their birthday or destroying a once a year fun opportunity, or attention seeking at a 6 year old's birthday party, or a second thread in close succession showing zero understanding of other people's feelings, or a second thread in close succession begging for negative attention seeking, or all of those at the same time .... take your pick.

On the plus side, you'll never need to worry about doing it again 👍

He had already blown out 4 candles. He obviously wasn't struggling and only had 2 more to go. It was your impatience, it was your me me me attitude. What's wrong? Was it taking to long for you to get a slice of cake ?

It's clearly not "like water off a duck's back" to you - if it was, you wouldn't have bothered to post here.

Not your place. Think you'll have to suck this one up and apologise to them both.

I think you probably missed that he’s six years old. You likely don’t have children and have no contact with children.
