“NTA—You shouldn’t feel guilty for doing something that benefits you greatly. You didn’t intentionally hurt anyone, and your opportunity to make a wish has wrongfully become overshadowed by your family taking it personally, as though it’s their wish to make as well. It’s not you but your family who is selfish.”

“NTA. My brother’s Make-A-Wish was for himself, not the family. “
