She’s Not Allowing Her Nephew To Intern For Her Because Of How He Acted At A Wedding As A Child
12 years ago, this woman was just 18-years-old, and her cousin was getting married. Back then, her mom and dad were not in town, so she and her 20-year-old brother went to the wedding together.
Her half-brother Ned, his wife, and her 8-year-old nephew Jack also were at the wedding with them.
The wedding was extremely lavish, and there were more than 100 guests in attendance. It basically was one enormous party, and she ended up sitting at a table of 16 people, which included her immediate family.
She wasn’t really that close with Ned’s wife, and she had basically no connection with Jack because he was super spoiled.
As she got up to get food, Ned’s wife asked if she could get them a salad, and she obliged, bringing a plate back for them along with her own food.
“As I stood there extending the salad plate toward her, Ned told Jack, who was seated between him and his wife, that he needed to eat some vegetables,” she explained.
“Jack screamed and threw the salad in my face, followed by tossing his glass of orange juice at me. I was so stunned I couldn’t do anything.”
“Everyone was looking at me, and I was just so humiliated. My brother guided me to the bathroom so I could wash my face. He asked me what I wanted to do, and I said I wanted to go home, so we did. The day after, my cousin called to ask if I was OK, and Ned’s mom had someone pass me some money, claiming to be for the ruined dress. Ned and his wife didn’t contact me at all.”
Her parents arrived home from out of town later on, and when they found out about what Jack had done, they were livid.

Her mom was especially upset that she never got an apology out of Ned, Jack, or Ned’s wife, so her mom banned them all from their house.
She and her brother then decided to cut Ned out of their lives, but they did see him on occasion at their dad’s office. 2 years after the wedding incident, Ned and his family moved to a new city, and not even her dad saw them really after that.
Fast forward to today, and she’s really up in the industry where she works. She even has her own company, and she constantly has people applying for opportunities to intern with her. A couple of days ago, her assistant said to her that someone applied for an internship, and they had the same last name as she did.
Well, it was Jack, and he was looking to intern for her. She looked at his resume, and it was up to par with interns she has had in the past.
“He did not stand out, but he was also good enough to pass the initial screening from my assistant,” she said. “Seeing his name brought all kinds of emotions up in me. I was angry and astonished at the audacity. I also could not see myself working so closely with him for any duration, so I told my assistant to remove Jack’s application from the list.”
“My family has different reactions to this. My dad said Jack was just a child back then, and it seems he’s turned out OK, so I should interview him and give him a chance. My brother said I should interview him and tell him he doesn’t get the role. My mom said I did the right thing for my mental health.”
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to take her nephew out of the running solely based on what he did at her cousin’s wedding as a child.
