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.

If this is true and you're not just bored, then yes of course YABU.

Yea but you know how girls laugh in awkward situations in the presence if those with more power because it feels like the polite /done thing to do.

Probably this is how your nephew felt.

Its a minor thing to you but i bet he will always remember how you made him feel

Yeah, this........

Oh my God, that's the same person??

Is it the same poster?

Main character syndrome right here.

I don't believe you.

Yep! ^

Mine would have laughed out of awkwardness - but I would have heard a lot about it later.

But even if it's true, it doesn't matter, you don't do that to a kid!

Agreed.

A dick move

Making the birthday candles about her, not the birthday boy

You didn't need to step in. He's 6. You should have let it be and if his Mum thought he needed help she would have given it.

Well aren’t you the lucky one that he is a sweet child. some kids would have burst into tears. You only get to blow out your candles once a year, and it’s a big deal.

Crikey its not that one is it 🙈

That’s a shitty thing to do to a child, I’d be pissed off if someone did that to my 6 year old.

That’s a horrible thing to do.

Was this the one who insisted on using the shared toilet rather than walk down the ooooooh scarey corridor to the ensuite they had insisted they had.

Some people eh! Mind you , if the sun shone out of my arse I would probably insist on the ensuite room……

Do you have your own kids? Jesus you don’t do that. I’ve watched 40 five year olds stand patiently by while a birthday child huffs and puffs all over cake and not one interfere

What a horrible, twatish thing to do to a kid.
What would possess you to do that.

Whatever you do, please don't point out that it is school holidays! You could find yourself banned 😂

Who was laughing at the "joke"?

Everyone = YANBU
Just you = YABU

I thought this was a reversey percy until I noticed OP's use name and realised it's the Toilet Princess. So I can totally believe she would do something like this and consider it acceptable.

What a pri*k

You don't ever blow out someone elses birthday candles...

Yeah that’s a dick move on a 6 year old
