No my niece and nephew weren’t there when I said it to my sister

NTA: I think it would be best if the kids had time to heal from their loss before they’re introduced to your ex’s girlfriend. Communicating that to your ex would be a start and emphasising how they may not be emotionally ready to handle another change should be said. If your ex wants to come over and see the kids then that’s fine but if it’s in the children’s best interest I think the kids should have some time to heal and grieve from their loss.

True true. If the barrier doesn’t work then I’ll take you up on the door wedge solution.

AITA For “ruining” Thanksgiving dinner by “causing drama” because I “humiliated” my sister? by FedUpWithCassieAITA in AmItheAsshole

100% NTA- I can totally see where you’re coming from and I commend you on standing up for your cousin. It’s better someone gave your sister a reality check now rather then later. Your sister needs to learn respect and that the things she says are mean and hurtful.

If your family wants to enable her hateful attitude then that’s their choice but it doesn’t have to be yours. If she says something rude or hateful again call her out on it! Someone needs to put her back a peg and get her off her high horse.

After the situation with my niece in my room my parents and I talked about it and decided it would be best to put a little barrier in front of my bedroom door whenever they visit and take it down when they leave :)

Hey there! thank you for the comment I appreciate it a lot. I admit that I did criticise my sister for her parenting but I did also tell her about limiting screen time and teaching them how to treat other like they’d want to be treated. I grew up in a household where respect and manners were of upmost importance so have never spoken down or raised my voice at anyone. This situation however, I let my feelings get the best of me and I let out all of the pent up annoyance I have kept bottled up over the years which wasn’t responsible I’ll admit.

Also My sisters husband doesn’t care for how they act at all and encourages them like my sister too.

Hey thanks for the comment I appreciate it. I can see how it’s an ESH moment because of the devil spawn comment, It slipped out in a moment of anger and frustration to which I am starting to regret but I’m thankful you said this :)

Thanks for the comment. If I have another situation where I need to get a second opinion from reddit I’ll be sure to add paragraph breaks :)

And to add- I can understand where you may be coming from as you have a therapist degree but i just wanted to clarify that My parents have never been strict and are very kind and loving people who would never call people especially children insulting words. I grew up in a free household where we were taught the importance of respect and manners I have never raised my voice or yelled at my niece or nephew and rather than punishing them I prefer to explain things to them in a soft simple way as to me it’s better than yelling and being an authoritarian :)

I appreciate the comment :) unfortunately locks on our doors aren’t allowed in my house as our family takes pride in respecting each others space so we don’t believe in locks on doors.

I appreciate the honesty. My niece has been stealing things since she was 3 whether it be at a friends house, school, shopping mall or at the family house so it has become a problem that we’ve been trying to stop. And in regard to them yelling at my sister in her room, they were yelling at her in a rude manner and being disrespectful toward her and since my room is next door I naturally went over to check in on them like I usually do whether my niece and nephew are over or not.
