Sister Gets Kicked Out After Cruel Comments About Lost Pregnancy

There are just some thoughts that should never leave your head. Some of these thoughts can be cruel intrusions, but others can be something that you might want to get sorted out.

A commenter offered a really helpful strategy for gauging whether we should let a thought out of our head that I think all of us should stop and reflect on before we speak. 

"There is the suggestion to THINK before you say something. That is, is what you are going to say True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, & Kind.

True: Possibly - but I side with Fred's perspective.

Helpful: No.

Inspiring: To what end!?

Necessary: No.

Kind: Quite the opposite!"

This sister had absolutely no filter or consideration for how her words might affect others when she decided to pass a flippantly-cruel comment to someone who had recently lost a late-term pregnancy.

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A--Hole) subreddit by Redditor u/crispsandfries, the woman who had to kick her sister out of the house when she insulted their relatives. She wants to know if she is in the wrong for kicking her sister out of her home after her callous comment.

Commenters reinforced the poster's decision to excuse her sister from the dinner after her comments, noting that her actions made her most definitely not the a-hole. They thought it would have been far worse for her to do nothing and let the behavior continue. 

"What an unbelievably callous thing to say." -ZookeepergameWise774
