AITAH for blaming my sister, not me, when her son ate my space brownies?
In a world where laws and family values collide, one woman’s quiet sanctuary shatters under the weight of an unexpected visit.
Her carefully crafted peace, symbolized by homemade marijuana-laced brownies, becomes the battleground for respect and boundaries, thrusting her into a tense confrontation with those she loves most.
Amid the innocent chaos of a cranky child and the unyielding stance of a sister who opposes her lifestyle, a simple request for sweets spirals into a powerful clash of trust and principles.
This is not just about brownies—it’s about autonomy, understanding, and the invisible lines drawn within family ties.

Strong Takes and Sharper Words from the Crowd:
The community had thoughts — lots of them. From tough love to thoughtful advice, the comment section didn’t disappoint.
The original poster (OP) is facing a severe conflict stemming from their sister's decision to defy an explicit boundary by giving cannabis-infused edibles to her child, leading to the child's hospitalization.
While the sister immediately deflected blame onto the OP for having the edibles present, the OP maintains that their primary fault lies in setting an absolute rule that was then intentionally violated by the sister for convenience.
The core debate centers on whether the responsibility for the child's poisoning rests solely with the adult who willfully disregarded a clear prohibition (the sister), or if the homeowner (the OP) bears a secondary responsibility for keeping substances in their private residence, even without prior notice of a child's visit.
Is the absolute right to control one's private property more critical than the perceived need to childproof against unexpected visitors?
