My sister was doing thanksgiving breakfast since she's got her husband's family stuff to go to later.
I brought my laptop because I was going between places myself. It is a newish laptop, only a month old and it cost me a lot because it is an art laptop that can work as a gaming laptop as well. One that I can pull the screen back and draw on.
My mom started talking about black Friday ads. She wanted to look them up online. Well, nobody else has a computer screen 'big enough' for her old eyes but mine. Reluctantly I let her but I told her to not use it as a touch screen. As a background, my mom and I generally do not get along and I try my best to avoid her throughout the whole year and this makes me reluctant to go to any family events that she'll be at. I won't get into the backstory of that.
Immediately, she starts looking using it like a touch screen, her acrylic nails click clacking on the screen and she screams "See?! IT IS A TOUCH SCREEN!!" and I yelled at her to stop touching the screen. So she looks at me like a 2 year old and taps her nails on it a couple more times and I took the laptop away, yelled at her, and inspected the screen to make sure there was no scratches from her nails (none that I see) while she's yelling at me for being an asshole.
I wasn't nice, I yelled at her I told her not to touch the screen, I don't want her nails damaging the screen of the NEW LAPTOP I just bought and I knew she wouldn't pay for a new one.
So then she doesn't even say sorry, says I'm being difficult and that it's just a laptop. I put it away, she says that she'll use the touchpad, she just wants to look at black Friday ads and I told her no, too late. She reaches for it, and I yell in her face to back off.
My sister, brother (and some of the other family members) were telling me to just let her do it, she said she won't touch the screen again. I said no, I don't trust her not to. My BiL married to my sister told them to fuck off it's my laptop. This got
So, as validation seeking as this looks. AITA?
