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.

You're a twat.

He may have laughed but it was about HIM not YOU.

Such a nob.

Even if he laughed it is still bad manners.

That is an extremely unusual response by a 6 yr old to this

You made blowing out the candles about you and how you felt. Who cares if he took his time blowing out the candles - that's part of the fun!

You were being very unreasonable. It was HIS birthday, not yours!

No sorry this isn’t kind. It’s different if they ask for help but at 6 they can usually do it by themselves.

Sure, Jan.

Is this real? No I don’t think it was a nice to do. Even if anyone were to blow out his candles , it should have been his mum giving him a helping hand gently.

As if you needed to even ask. You took someone’s moment, even my 3 year old knows you don’t blow out other people’s candles!

What everyone else said. Dick move to make that about you.
You were lucky that he laughed. Most six year olds will have been waiting for that moment.

I find it hard to believe a 6 year old was laughing at his aunt blowing out his candles. You sound like you were just looking to be the centre of attention to be honest.

Why did you interfere? Not nice on your part.

You're not being unreasonable, you're being a total bitch and your sister was right.

Was it not enough about you? poor baby…come here for a hug

Are you always an attention seeking that? At least you sister will have one less person to cater for next year.

How over bearing of you

Ok if he wasn't bothered and laughed that's lucky. But don't do it again because it makes you look like a mug and a weirdo who's trying to sabotage a small child's birthday fun.

There were two candles left! It’s not like I blew the whole lot out but I’ll take it on board and won’t do it again

MCS 🙄

@AliceNotInChains

I can't believe you even have to ask! You can't possibly think this was a reasonable thing to do. How could it possibly be done 'jokingly?' There were only 6 candles. He was perfectly capable of blowing them out himself.

And apologize? I cannot believe you were thinking of doing it again.

It's odd you're continuing to try and justify why you did it at all to be honest. I suspect this is not the first or last time you'll behave like this.

What does that mean?

Obviously Op will have got the point by now but I don't even understand how this could be interpreted as a "joke"? How would it have been funny, exactly?

Awaiting the "drip feed" that Op is Neurodiverse.... 🙄

This must be fake surely!

You’re the same poster who insisted on the en-suite being a ‘one person toilet’ when you went away.

Please tell me this is fake and nobody is this self absorbed 😂
