My sister had forbidden my daughter from going to the pool, and her reason really surprised me, to the point that I decided to take my daughter and leave.

This weekend, we had planned to spend a family day at my sister’s house. My daughter, Lily, loves swimming, and by the beginning of the week, she had already prepared her swimsuit, eagerly waiting for the weekend to swim in the pool with her cousins.

When we arrived at my sister’s house, all the children were already in the water. I told Lily to change so she could join them, but a few minutes later, I saw her near the pool, looking upset, watching the other kids having fun.

This intrigued me because Lily loves the water, and it was strange that she wasn’t swimming.

I approached her and asked, “What’s wrong, honey? Why aren’t you going in the water?”

She replied, her eyes filled with tears, “Aunt Susan won’t let me swim. Everyone else can, but not me.”

I took a deep breath and went to see my sister to understand what was going on. Her response left me speechless.

I immediately took my daughter and we left.

The full story is in the first comment below .

I went to see my sister and asked her what was going on.

Her answer chilled me: “I wanted to avoid too much disturbance. Lily splashes. My kids are used to a certain calm.”

I couldn’t believe my ears. “You mean my daughter isn’t welcome because she would disrupt the order?”

She insisted: “It’s my house, my rules. It’s nothing personal.”

I made an immediate decision. “Go get your things, Lily. We’re going home.”

Later, I sent a message to my sister: “I won’t talk to you until you show some respect for others.”

She never responded.
