For context I(29 F) and my sister (33F) have always gotten along great until yesterday. We were at my sisters house for a large family gathering, and as per usual all the children, including my sisters son “Jeremiah” (8 yrs) and my son “Lucas” (5yrs) were playing together. They usually get along really well and rarely fight.
For context my son also wears glasses as he is severely visually impaired and is almost blind without them.
As the children were playing yesterday I noticed Jeremiah and Lucas getting into a fight over a small truck. Lucas had it in his hand (keep in mind, this truck was Lucas’ that he brought from our home) so I asked him if he could give it to Jeremiah for a bit. Lucas looked at me however was hesitant and said no. At this moment, Jeremiah pushed his hand into Lucas’ face shoving him to the ground, then ripped his glasses off causing them to crack. I watched in shock. My sister came over a couple minutes later and asked me what had happened, so I explained it to her. To my surprise she didn’t ask Jeremiah to apologise or say anything really, despite Lucas being in tears.
About 5 minutes later I asked my sister why she didn’t do anything back there, which she responded that her son can work these things out himself and she shouldn’t have to get get involved. I got quite angry at her, and she responded saying “well maybe your kid needs to toughen up and stop being so fragile” so I told her he also broke my sons glasses to which she then replied “it’s not my fault your kid is blind and not my fault he didn’t share his toy” I told her she needs to parent her kid better by asking him to be less aggressive and rude and we left, leaving me to pay for a new set of glasses. I feel terrible about what I said, so AITA?
