    Font - I (42F) have a SIL (35F) she is my husbands sister. She is so easily influenced its embarrassing. Now because of tiktok she has a 5 step skincare routine, god only knows how much money she threw away on snake oil products. She spends hours following make up routines she sees on there. She now wakes up at 5am to do a workout plan from an account she follows. She is constantly cooking recipes from TikTok, going to restaurant she found on there.

    Font - Everything is from Tiktok I don't think she has ever had a original thought in her life. She is 35 for God's sake, it's an app for teenagers!

    Font - Now with easter coming up she is asking to bring some butter board she saw on tiktok. It honestly sounded ridiculous. I finally decided to say something to her. I explained to her how its embarrassing how she is still trying to act like a teenager, no amount of skincare and 5AM workouts will stop her from aging.

    Font - She is 35 she is going to have wrinkles, we all went though it now its her turn, she is just wasting money and its time to grow up and accept how old she is, she is no longer a teenager and that's ok, we all age. I explained to her that her life is flying by she is married with no children. She is 35 I fear she is going to wake up in a few years and regret not having children and wasting so much of her time worried about what she looks like.

    Font - She told me forget it she won't even come to easter. She told me "Just because I gave up on myself doesn't mean she need too." Which was incredibly rude and unnecessary sorry I have two kids to take care of I don't have time to worry about wrinkles or if my outfit is perfect. She then hung up.

    Font - Now my in-laws are pissed and they have decided to do easter at their house since SIL now feel too uncomfortable coming to our house. And of course she will be making her ridiculous butter board. My husband agrees that she needs to grow up but thinks I should have kept my mouth shut and should apologize so we can have a nice easter. But I'm looking out for her she is no longer a teenager and it's time to accept that.

    Font - Suprise women can be happy an have fulfilling lives without kids. Why are you so concerned about her uterus and sex life tell me? SIL sounds like she is living her best life. Sounds like you are damn jealous of her. I would like to be friends with SIL, she sounds like fun.

    Font - TortoisePenetration 20 hr. ago Partassipant [1] You're totally right, it's not just for teens. I don't think the issue is age per se, it's just some people are more predisposed to fall for the snake oil and the fake routines influencers, which there is a hell of a lot of on tiktok

    Font - Amar_Akbar_Anthony20. 20 hr. ago Partassipant [2] True, but i still don't see how that is OP's problem. She even has something to say about the workout and makeup routines. Which i assume OP does not pay for.

    Font - Cabbagetastrophe 13 hr. ago I'm 45 with a doctorate, a full-time job, a kid, and a mortgage. I also play D&D twice a week, watch cartoons, and build BRIO train tracks. Fuck the entire concept of "age-appropriate" hobbies.

    Font - echoCashMeOusside 20 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [13] YTA. She's not hurting anyone, and plenty of people have crazy skincare routines regardless of their age. Can you hear yourself? You're mad at someone for working out. I explained to her that her life is flying by she is married with no children. She is 35 I fear she is going to wake up in a few years and regret not having children and wasting so much of her time worried about what she looks like.

    Font - This quote gives me the impression that you do have kids and have probably let yourself go. In order to cope with this, or create an excuse for yourself, you dig your heels into some antiquated and narrow-minded perspective like "only people who reproduce are truly grown up." Or "I can't work out because I'm too busy taking care of me kids, something my childless SIL can't understand." despite many great parents still finding time to take care of themselves.

    Font - I don't use TikTok and am entirely unaware of its landscape. But I was expecting you to be talking about your SIL constantly pulling pranks or holding up foot traffic to do some sort of dance. Not working out and trying new recipes. Yeah, I'll say it again, YTA. I think you're the one who needs to grow up. You chose to have kids so stop being jealous and judgemental of someone who decided not to and is living their best life.
