AITAH for uninviting my sister to my 17th birthday party after she stole my prom dress and destroyed it?
so i have a younger sister bella, who is 15. the best way to describe her would be as a brat, and a spoiled on at that. she gets whatever, whenever, wherever she wants. good grades? new iphone. she fails a test? oh she’s just stressed, let’s get her ice cream to make her fell a wee bit better. meanwhile i have to work a part time job at a cafe to buy my own things
my senior prom is coming up. ive been saving my tips for 3-4 months to buy this gorgeous silk vintage dress online. it cost 250 bucks (and a whole lotta nerves). it arrived last week and it was literally perfect. having admired it, i put it into my closet so that bella wouldnt get her chubby little fingers on it.
yesterday i came home from school and saw bella in the kitchen, wearing MY DRESS. she was making a stupid tiktok, the concept of which i actually never understood. like whats the benefit? ur basically being a clown in a digital circus. whatever. so, there she was, dressed in my prom dress, which i worked my ass off for, holding a milkshake in her hands or some purple juice. wasnt my main focus at the moment.
before i could even scream, she spun around, tripped, and spilled the entire glass of that purple juice all over the front of MY silk dress
ITS RUINED. COMPLETELY AND ABSOULETELY STAINED BC OF HER STUPID MANIA OF MAKING DUMBASS TIKTOKS
i screamed. like actually screamed. i started crying immediately
my mom ran in. she saw the dress and saw me crying. instead of yelling at bella, she told ME to calm down. she said something in the lines of hey, calm down, stop crying. bella just wanted to look pretty, we can dry it out and wash it off, it wasnt her fault, look she is sad too about what happened
bella wasnt sad. or maybe she was. a little bit. she was looking at her phone, tears swelling, while constantly tapping and swiping. the only thing that little brat was sad about is the ruined tiktok ig
i told them that bella is banned from my birthday dinner this weekend (we were arranging to go to a nice sushi place with family where we usually go to big events cuz of the insane atmosphere, its like a garden-themed neon-lighted japanese village)
i said that i dont even wanna look at her, nor talk to her. like, the brat owes me 250 bucks and a fucking therapy session. i was saving up for this dress for like 4 months. my dad stepped in and said that i am actually being the brat and that i was very vindictive and that this type of behavior is not appreciated in this family (yeah but taking other peoples clothes w/o their consent and ruining them is, ig) and that i can’t exclude my sister from family bc of some cloth.
they said if bella can’t come, they aren’t paying for the dinner at all
i told them to cancel the dinner then bc it wasnt just fabric to me. it was hours of hard work, sweat, burnt out nerves. the worst thing is that bella hasnt even considered apologizing. she just gives me a disgusted smug look like im the one who ruined her dress over a stupid ass tiktok
so, yeah. it is what it is. at least ive got my dignity, right? aitah?
