Her Niece Wrongfully Accused Her Teen Daughter Of Stealing AirPods And Told The Entire Family That Her Daughter Was A Thief, So She Banned Her Niece From Her House
This forty-year-old woman lives with her husband, who is also forty, and her daughter Laura, who is fifteen.
She also has a twenty-six-year-old niece, Kelly. And even though she is really close with her siblings and all of their children, she really has not seen much of Kelly in recent years. This strain really happened after Kelly moved to another city, which is around three hours away.
With the holidays just around the corner now, though, Kelly has been in town and hanging out with the family a lot more. And, of course, this was nice at first.
But, after Kelly was at her house again just a few days ago, a ton of family drama ensued.
Apparently, the issue all stems back to when she hosted a family dinner earlier this week– which both her daughter Laura and her niece Kelly attended. The dinner honestly went fine, too, until Kelly gave her a random phone call the next day.
During that conversation, her niece was reportedly furious and actually accused Laura of stealing her AirPods.
Understandably, she was completely confused and asked why the heck Kelly would say that. But, her niece went on to detail how the AirPods had been in her purse, which was left in the dining room. Then, the next time Kelly went to get the headphones, they were gone.
As for why Kelly accused Laura, her niece claimed that her daughter was “acting suspicious” and “being guilty” the entire evening. According to her, though, Laura did not seem to be acting out of the ordinary.
“I had not noticed anything, but there was a bit of unrelated drama going on at the dinner. So, I was distracted,” she recalled.

Anyway, she decided to tell Kelly that she would talk to Laura about the issue. Then, she would call her niece back.
Immediately after speaking to Laura, though, she claims that her daughter vehemently denied ever stealing the AirPods.
First of all, her daughter said that she was nowhere near Kelly’s purse the entire night. Second, Laura pointed out how she already had her own headphones. So, it did not make sense why her daughter would want to take Kelly’s.
“I can usually tell when Laura is lying, and she has never stolen things in the past. So, I am pretty inclined to believe her,” she added.
Of course, she did admit to being a bit biased– being that she is Laura’s mother, after all. Despite that, though, she claims to know Laura really well and honestly believes that her daughter is not a thief.
So, she ended up calling Kelly back a few hours later and telling her niece that she had no idea what actually happened to the AirPods. However, she was certain that Laura was not behind their disappearance.
For whatever reason, though, Kelly kept insisting that Laura had stolen the headphones. Plus, her niece even tried to say that she and her husband were going to have to purchase her a replacement!
But she stuck to her guns and told Kelly that that would not be happening. Moreover, she was sure the headphones would turn up soon.
Kelly apparently was not satisfied with that answer, though, and proceeded to go around telling the entire family that Laura was a liar and a thief. Plus, she even got accused of enabling her daughter’s sticky fingers!
Then, the very next day, she received a lighthearted text from Kelly. As she had guessed, Kelly found the AirPods– which had been left inside Kelly’s car the entire time.
Rather than being apologetic, though, Kelly apparently found the entire situation very funny. She, however, was understandably really pissed off and decided to give Kelly a piece of her mind.
“I told Kelly that I really do not appreciate that she jumped straight to calling my daughter a thief when she misplaced her own AirPods,” she said.
She also decided to tell her niece that she was not welcome back into her home after pulling that stunt.
But, after hearing that, Kelly reportedly got really upset, and she even got accused of trying to cut Kelly out of the family.
Since then, the rest of her family has also taken Kelly’s side and are claiming that she is being “horrible” and “bullying” her niece.
So now, she has been left wondering whether banning her niece from her home after her daughter was wrongfully accused of stealing is justified or not.
Why do you think Kelly was so quick to assume that Laura stole the AirPods and told the entire family? Do you believe she did the right thing by standing up for her daughter from the start? If you were in her shoes, would you also ban Kelly from your house? If not, how would you handle this situation?
