Parents let 3-year-old daughter upstage 1-year-old niece's birthday, want her to blow out the candles instead: 'My niece started screaming and wouldn't let anyone sing happy birthday'

It's hard to sit by and watch somebody else's bad parenting. Everyone is entitled to their own parenting styles, but that doesn't mean you have to like it. But it can be incredibly difficult to just be passive while someone else is wrecking their child's future. It's even harder when your own child is mixed up in all of it. Maybe they have a friend whose parent is making some questionable choices. Maybe your kid is getting caught in the crosshairs. Or maybe they're in your own family.

You famously don't have control over the decisions of others, especially your own family members. But it can be hard to sit on your hands and watch them make the choices they are going to make. Especially if you're at a family gathering and one person's behavior is affecting everyone else. That's what happened in this story when the in-laws made life pretty difficult for the rest of their family.

When it was one little girl's birthday, her parents took care to make sure she was the center of attention. But her 3-year-old cousin, and those cousin's parents, had something else in mind. When they let her roam free and take over attention, her aunt had some choice words.
