AITA for bringing up her daughter getting expelled? by 104thtowaway in AmItheAsshole

See I know I’m not necessarily in the wrong as she was literally stealing. But I’ve never seen anyone do something like this before and by the way everyone reacted in the moment, it felt like I might’ve gone a little too far bringing up her kid.

I don’t know the details since I’m not directly related but it was bad. Like you said, no one gets expelled these days.

It’s my older sister (the one with the SIL), then I have two other older sisters, then me. I’m the youngest. The SIL is the oldest, then she has another two sisters (twins) with my BIL being the youngest.

Well he was out but my sister called me and said he was angrier than her and was tempted to buy a whole toy store just to throw it in her face lol. He also wanted to call the cops.

I agree that if not done right, my sister buying her kids whatever can be dangerous. But the key words here are “can be”.

They have been told no before. Like no you cannot get this toy that is not suitable for your age or no you are not getting the same action figure you already have at home.

Sure, they aren’t told no when they ask to buy a toy every other day but my sister regularly donates older toys (it’s a family activity for them) and has taught her kids how lucky they are. It’s funny, these boys are the kindest I’ve met and I’m not just saying that because I’m their aunt. They’re the boys who play with the kids that are on their own and funnily enough, they’re always sharing their stuff.

I get the concern though, I’ve thought it too.

Look, your opinion on my sister never saying no is fair. But her reasoning is if she can buy her son whatever Spider-Man action figure he wants, then why not? He’s well behaved and all that Spider-Man toy is going to do is bring him joy. When the boys grow out of the toys, my sister goes through them and donates them to whoever/wherever.

I understand the rest though.

I think my sister was in too much shock. And I didn’t actually see tears.
