AITA for telling my SIL she shouldn’t have a Christmas tree?

My brother’s wife works from home.

My brother works in an office.

He does the household chores, cooks, and take the kids to and from school.

Her sister-in-law said she’ll put up a Christmas tree.

He told us that’s part of why they’re not doing Thanksgiving.

And they mostly likely won’t do a traditional Christmas.

Sister-in-law was annoyed, and said she’ll do the tree.

This woman gave an honest opinion about their family setup.

I said, “I don’t think you should.”

She asked why.

I said, “Considering (brother) working and you’re working from home, no one is going to watch those kids. They got a history of tearing things up.”

She went quiet, and everyone else kept talking.

Now, she’s wondering if she should have just stayed quiet.

A mutual friend called me up, and said I shouldn’t have gotten involved.

My nephews do have a history of getting hurt and breaking things when they’re home without my brother.

AITA?
