In this post on Reddit, a couple celebrates their newborn baby’s arrival with a “baby ceremony,” inviting friends and family to meet their daughter Charlotte. Among the guests are their cousin Alice and her parents. Alice is known for her upscale preferences in clothing, often choosing designer wear with a penchant for luxury. She’s employed as a banker and lives with her parents, affording her lavish lifestyle.
During the event, Alice’s turn to hold the baby takes a surprising turn when baby Charlotte unexpectedly vomits on Alice’s expensive designer blouse. Distressed and embarrassed, Alice quickly hands the baby back and leaves the gathering in tears. Despite attempts at an apology, Alice remains upset and declines comfort. Moreover, Alice’s parents request reimbursement for the ruined blouse, valued at around £1800. OP, however, declines to reimburse, citing the known unpredictability of babies and the conscious choice Alice made to wear expensive clothing near a baby and babies can be like this.
Now OP wants to know if she’s an A-hole to refuse to pay. So keep on scrolling down below and read the whole post by yourself and in the end, you guys have to let us know if OP is an A-hole.
1. OP gave birth four weeks ago and they decided to have a baby ceremony
2. OP’s cousin Alice and her parents were also among the guest, and OP told us that her cousin Alice has expensive taste in clothing and everything she owns is a designer
3. As soon as Alice held the baby Charlotte vomited on her, after this Alice handed Charlotte back to OP and ran off crying. OP’s mom gave her one of her shirts to wear but it was too big for her and she stayed in the car crying for the rest of the event.
4. OP got a call from her mum and her mom has been on the call with Alice’s mom and they wanted OP to reimburse the cost of the blouse which was about 1800 pounds
5. Now OP wants to know if she’s an A-hole for refusing to pay since we all know babies can be like this and she shouldn’t have worn something so expensive around a baby.
6. NTA
7. This user suggests not to wear expensive clothes around babies and kids in general as they are messy and have stuff sticked on their fingers
8. This user has got a point, what are your thoughts on this?
9. While this user suggests that OP should pay for the dry cleaning only as she just had a baby
10. Definitely NTA
11. She took responsibility for what could happen as soon as she held the baby
12. And this user thinks that cousin is just stupid for wearing something expensive near a baby
13. Alice should have known when she attended wearing that
14. She is completely responsible for it and OP is definitely NTA
15. Everybody thinks OP is not an A-hole in this situation and we agree up on this
