At Her Boyfriend’s Sister’s Baby Shower, An Aunt Accused Her Of Ruining The Whole Thing And Now This Teen Is Asking The Internet If She Really Did Anything Wrong Here
A 16-year-old girl is dating a boy who is 17, and recently she went to her boyfriend’s older sister’s baby shower.
Her boyfriend asked her to come to shower since she gets on well with his closest family members and he figured this would be a nice way for her to meet some of his other family members.
“One of his aunts who I didn’t know too much came over while I was playing with the younger kids and took me over to where some of the other aunts and my BF’s sister was for some ‘girl talk’,” she explained.
The aunt really just wanted to ask her a ton of personal questions like what college she planned on going to, what her thoughts on marriage are, and what kind of a career she wants to have.
She tried her very best to be calm while answering everything.
Those are some pretty heavy questions for a 16-year-old to answer, but it gets way worse.
Her boyfriend’s aunt then asked her if she wanted to have kids.
“I said never because I don’t want kids, for multiple reasons but I got interrogated about why don’t I want kids, would I ever adopt, doesn’t my boyfriend want kids,” she said.
The aunt kept going; pressing her on what she would do if she found herself accidentally pregnant.

She replied that it wasn’t likely, but that if it did happen she would go through with terminating her pregnancy.
The aunt was horrified and insisted she wouldn’t feel like that if she actually had a “life growing inside” of her.
She said she really didn’t want kids, but the aunt would not drop this topic. Even after she went back to playing with the children, her boyfriend’s aunt followed her.
“My BF’s aunt asked ‘I thought you didn’t want kids’ I reinforced that I didn’t and she brought up that I was really good with the kids at the party, I explained wanting kids and being good with kids are two different things,” she continued.
“She then told my BF that I need to leave and I ruined the party because of my opinions and what I said while she was ‘making conversation.’ My BF said we’d both leave since his aunt was out of line.”
Several days later, her boyfriend’s dad revealed to her that the aunt said she would never like to see her ever again.
She’s left wondering if she somehow did something wrong by honestly answering the questions she was asked at the baby shower.
She ended up contacting her boyfriend’s sister to apologize if she made her upset in any way, but her boyfriend’s sister said it wasn’t her fault; their aunt just does this to everyone.
She’s now working with her boyfriend’s dad to throw her boyfriend’s sister a new, smaller baby shower that should be drama-free.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“The party is only ruined if the person the party is thrown for has a bad time.”
“The sister was not involved in the conversation at all and did not need to be told about it. The aunt had a bad time tormenting a 16-year-old has no impact on if it was a successful shower.”
“The aunt has a way inflated sense of her own importance.”
“She asked, intrusively and obsessively, and you answered. Who badgers anyone, ESPECIALLY a 16-year-old, about their current/future reproductive choices?”
“If at any point you DON’T want to give very personal information like that out to an actual stranger, you can always say “I’m not comfortable answering that question, can we talk about something else?” Of course, you are fully within your rights to answer everyone exactly as you did, because she asked. My God.”
“It doesn’t matter how long people are together or how old they are, others should NEVER ask what they plan on doing about children. Ever.”
“Imagine asking someone that’s infertile and they need to either lie about why or tell the truth. Either way, it’s downright terrible.”
“As a mom, I would be very proud of my child if they were as mature and kind as you. You’re a teenager who was harassed by an immature adult but you stayed calm and polite.”
“Shame on his aunt and good for you and your boyfriend for being the adults.”
“It’s one thing to be curious about your life goals and try to get to know you better. It’s another to push their goals on you and then get salty when you don’t just accept.”
