    Food - AITA for "embarrassing" my cousin and getting us kicked out of a restaurant? Not the A-hole
  • 02
    Font - I F(25) don't have kids yet. I never really wanted them growing up but I figure I'll eventually have kids in the future once I get my life together. My cousin Sarah (29) has two bad behaved kids from a previous relationship and a newborn baby with her boyfriend MJ (40).
  • 03
    Font - Last night my mother, sister, Sarah and I went to a sushi restaurant - and this was my first time having sushi. After we ordered, I had a hard time using the chopsticks. My cousin started obnoxiously laughing.
  • 04
    Font - The waiter came over and asked me if I wanted "training wheels" which is a little plastic item that attaches to the chopsticks and helps you hold them in place. My cousin laughed and said "sorry about her, she constantly embarrasses herself and us."
  • 05
    Font - I just gave her the side eye and put the training wheels on. When it was time to order desserts, her boyfriend MJ finally joined us - claiming that he was "busy." She went on to tell him how "stupid" and "slow" I was for not knowing how to use chopsticks and how the waiters and everyone around now know that I'm an embarrassment.
  • 06
    Font - My mom asked her what her problem was and she goes on a rant about how I'm so embarrassing and it's no wonder I'm "jealous of her being a mother" and "no one wants to have kids with me."
  • 07
    Font - I finally had enough. I said "I don't have kids because I don't want them to come out like your rude pieces of shit" and "you're calling me an embarrassment? Didn't MJ just have a baby on you with his wife? Your baby literally has a sibling a week apart from her. You probably learned how to use chopsticks by eating his wife's leftovers."
  • 08
    Font - I guess when she was attacking me it was fine because everyone turned on me. It got so loud that management had to get involved. Sarah was screaming and crying, MJ was yelling at me, and my mom and sister were berating me for being "mean."
  • 09
    Font - Management brought the bill and told us to please pay it and leave. My mom paid the entire bill but my sister said I'm an AH for embarrassing Sarah and getting us kicked out - and how she's probably going through postpartum depression. Now...idk if I went too far seeing as she's probably going through some post baby stress. AITA?

    Font - UPDATE: Thank you all for the overwhelming responses! I've been wanting to put Sarah in her place for a while now - and I'm glad I did! However, Sarah's Mom got involved and is mad at me. Apparently, MJ told Sarah that him and his wife were separating. Sarah found out that he lied because she was secretly stalking his wife's Facebook page and got the shock of her life when wifey posted a newborn baby and MJ was there for the birth.
  • 11
    Font - Sarah did the math and realized that he got both of them pregnant the week of his birthday. She confronted him and he confirmed it. He also said that she'll have to get over it or he'll leave. So, she stayed and is now constantly in shambles. Not my problem.
  • 12
    Font - Now onto the problem. She kept the wife's baby a secret and only told her mom, who told my mom, who told my sister and I. So, they said that they were pissed because I wasn't supposed to repeat it. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. After like a week, that's all everyone talked about.
  • 13
    Font - Sarah's mom (my aunt) reached out to me this morning and she said that Sarah's problem with me is that I always said I don't like kids and only a "horrible person" won't like kids - and that I was mean to her about her kids 2 months ago. 2 months ago she wanted to go to a party with MJ and asked me to watch her kids. ALL THREE OF THEM. FOR FREE. I told her no because they're untrained, I don't feel comfortable watching a newborn - and she'll have to pay me to put up with the other two.
  • 14
    Font - So, I guess that's why she's still holding grudges. Regardless, Sarah's mom said she was having a really hard time after finding out about the "outside" baby (who technically is the inside baby as Sarah's baby is the outside baby but whatever) and she wants me to apologize for putting her business out there for everyone.
  • 15
    Font - She got my mom and sister involved so I just called Sarah and apologized. She just said "I don't care what you have to say" and hung up. Regardless. I held up my end of the bargain. Hopefully this gets blown over soon because ya girl is TIRED.

    Font - Jedisilk015 20 hr. ago edited 19 hr. ago Oh my God, I'm stealing this! And sheesh what was up her cousin's butt anyway? She was being sooo vicious because (checks notes) OP didn't know how to use chopsticks right? And man did that sister ever project onto her sister? Jealous over three children and an affair partner...sure lady, OP is jealous of YOU. NTA and frankly I'd cut contact with said cousin. She's nasty and toxic and obviously bitter over her life choices. Also boo on OPs family f

    Font - burnednotdestroyed 17 hr. ago Yes! I was scrolling down hoping someone else noticed that. This AH was "busy" celebrating Mother's Day with the primary mother in his life, his wife...the cousin is literally Mother's Day leftovers and she knows it, which is why she was taking out her frustration on the first/easiest target available. Sheesh, lady. Maybe don't f**k around with other people's husbands and you wouldn't have these problems?

    Font - 718Sapphire 19 hr. ago edited 2 hr. ago To piggy back off your comment- I didn't begin speaking Spanish until my friend tried hitting on this girl who spoke absolutely zero English. She was in NYC from PR I was 20 and she was 19. We are still friends to this day. She learned English in about 3 months hanging out with me. And she never made fun of me when correcting my Spanish.

    Font - When I was a child I would speak to my grandmother in Spanish and my mom would tease me about the way I sounded, telling my grandmother "isn't it cute how she sounds like a white girl". I would ask her to stop and she would say "what? I think it's cute." Meanwhile in my head I was thinking Ik you mom. My grandmother told her not to do that but she and other relatives persisted so I only spoke to my grandmother in Spanish when no one else was around.

    Font - I have a loathing for people who mock someone who's out of their comfort zone trying something new. It's such an ignorant thing to do. It's almost as though they're afraid they'll be better than them. And it's crazy to me that op mentioned she's a parent to 3 kids does she mock them every time they try to learn something new? Sounds like a shitty mom honestly.

    Font - CarefreeTraveller 18 hr. ago right? theres also a huge difference between teasing someone and straight up being a mean AH. i always giggle a little at my boyfriend when he struggles with the german ch sound and says 'good naked' instead of 'good night', but even then i encourage him and say its getting better with every try. making people feel good about their progress, no matter how small it may be, is always the best option and people who cant even do that are miserable pricks
