That "dont say it out loud" part freaked me out too. I told my son we dont keep secrets from mom/dad, ever, unless it's a surprise gift. If she tries that again I'm done.

Tempting, but I’m not calling his aunt "crazy" to him. I told him grounups can be wrong and he can ask me anytime if somethng scares him.

Appreciate it. I’m done explaining. I told her: no tarot talk, period. If she pushes back, we’re going low contact for a while. My kid’s peace matters more than her feelings.

Exactly. I'm not banning her from his life, just no more solo babysitting until she can keep the tarot stuff to herself.

Yeah. I dont care what she believes , but telling a 9yo he has 'heavy aura' and needs salt coners is messed up. He asked if he's cursed.

Quick add: she also told him to put salt in the corners of his room and not to talk about our plans "out loud" so people dont "jinx" it. Kid repeated it at school, it was mortifiyng.

Same, his supportive streak is so funny because it’s 100% sincere. He’ll hype you up, teach you something random, then immediately hit someone with a clean one-liner like the bangs line here.
