She’s Not Letting Her Nephew Bake Her Birthday Cake, Since What He Makes Tastes Terrible And He Has No Concerns About Hygiene
This 29-year-old woman will be celebrating her 30th birthday in just a couple of weeks from now.
For her special day, she is in the process of organizing a party and ordering food from the restaurants in the town that she loves the most.
As she was party planning, issues started to arise with her common-law husband’s sister’s 9-year-old son.
“Her son has just started to get interested in baking, and he has been baking cakes for birthdays (his siblings’, his parents’, grandparents’, his cousins’, and my husband’s) for a year now. They really taste awful, and I have a very sensitive stomach,” she said.
She is easily nauseated that even just thinking about food being made incorrectly makes her gag.
When she goes out to eat, she never orders cold foods because she rationalizes that with hot food, they’ve been cooked at higher temperatures, so there’s hopefully less of a risk of the food being dramatically undercooked. Cold food is, unfortunately, something that is prepared by chefs using their own discretion, and she has had negative experiences with this in the past.
Plus, she feels extremely nauseated and grossed out, understandably so, when she witnesses bad table manners and habits like people using toothpicks, belching, or clearing their throats constantly. It’s so intense for her that she breaks out in cold sweats.
“I have witnessed this nephew bake, and as any 9-year-old, there are no concerns about hygiene. Also, it tastes very bad. I get cold sweats now thinking about it,” she explained.
Leading up to her party, her sister-in-law asked her the type of cake she’d like her nephew to make. In response, she told her that instead of him baking for her, she’d like to order a cake from one of her favorite bakeries.

Unfortunately, her sister-in-law was furious and said that not allowing her nephew to bake a cake would deeply upset him.
“I told her, ‘Isn’t it healthy for him to understand that people have boundaries and not to take it personally?'” she continued.
At this, her sister-in-law told her that she was a jerk and that she and her nephew were no longer coming to her birthday party. She responded and said that it’s too bad they’re not coming anymore, but she doesn’t feel like she’ll have a change of heart.
After the argument, her husband suggested allowing her nephew to still bake her a cake but also going through with her plan to order a cake from the bakery. However, she didn’t like this idea because she felt like it wasn’t right that her boundaries wouldn’t be respected in that scenario since she didn’t want her nephew baking the cake at all.
Plus, the cake will taste terrible, and she doesn’t want anyone feeling obligated to eat it. She won’t have a lot of people at the party anyway, so having two cakes would be too much.
Do you think she was wrong not to allow her nephew to bake her birthday cake?
