Ashley Biden, daughter of former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden, wrote on social media that it was "one of the hardest summers of my life."The post comes after a summer during which the former first daughter faced two main challenges: her divorce and her fathers cancer diagnosis."August 2025. The summer of 2025 was one of the hardest summers of my life. I have been preparing for the fall (my fav season) and now ready for the RISE," she wrote as the caption of a carousel of summer photos. "Grateful for the support of friends and family. Grateful that I took the time/space to grieve, process and heal. Grateful for peace of mind, new beginnings, new seasons, and a rediscovered strength and love for myself."She ended the caption with "#SturgeonMoon2025" a reference to the August full moon followed by a string of emojis.ASHLEY BIDEN FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND, HOWARD KREIN, AFTER 13 YEARS OF MARRIAGE: REPORTSLast month, Ashley Biden shared a photo of her with her ex-husband and another woman, who the former first daughter identified as the doctors "girlfriend."She captioned the Instagram story, "my husband and his girlfriend holding hands," and posted it with the Notorious B.I.G. song "Another," featuring Lil Kim, the New York Post reported.The outlet also noted that the Instagram story was posted just hours before Ashley Biden filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years.FEW PRESIDENTS HAVE BOWED OUT LIKE BIDEN. HISTORIANS EXPLAIN WHAT IT MEANSThe story appeared on Aug. 10 and was deleted shortly after it was posted. While it appeared to be aimed at her husband, the people in the image faced away from the camera and were not immediately identifiable.The Post also reported in August that in a separate Instagram story, which was also deleted, Ashley Biden posted herself walking through a park giving a thumbs-up while "Freedom" by Beyonc played.Ashley Biden's divorce filing states the marriage is "irretrievably broken" and requests spousal support while the divorce is pending, according to filings reviewed by Radar Online.She married Dr. Howard Krein in 2012 with a ceremony blending her Catholic faith with his Jewish heritage, followed by a reception at the Biden familys lake house in Wilmington.At the time, thenVice President Joe Biden praised his future son-in-law, telling People magazine: "This is the right guy. And hes getting a helluva woman."At the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Ashley Biden recalled her fathers role in her wedding to Krein, saying, "At the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception. He was riding around in his John Deere 4-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and by the way, he was very emotional."In May, Bidens office confirmed he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer."While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The [former p]resident and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians," Biden's team shared in a statement.Ashley Biden made a similar Instagram reflection post at the end of May, writing: "May 2025. Heartbroken yet HOPEFUL. MAY I have the courage to handle all that life throws at me (us). So very grateful for all the love + support.""Life is tough my darling, but so are YOU," she added at the time.On the same day, she also posted a picture of herself with her parents and seemingly pushed back against rumors that her family had covered up her fathers cancer diagnosis while he was in the White House.Fox News Digital's Jasmine Baehr contributed to this report.

New Orleans Democrats pushed back on President Donald Trumps suggestion to send National Guard troops to the Louisiana city to help fight crime, with one accusing him of "scare tactics and politicizing public safety."The outcry came after Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Wednesday "we're making a determination now" as to where National Guard resources will be deployed next."Do we go to Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice section of this country that's become quite, you know, quite tough, quite bad," Trump said. "So we're going to be going to, maybe Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem, we will straighten that out in about two weeks. It'll take us two weeks. Easier than D.C."Landry, a Republican, appeared to embrace Trumps offer, writing on X in response: "We will take President Donald Trumps help from New Orleans to Shreveport!"WHITE HOUSE SLAMS PRITZKER, BLUE CITIES AS CRIME FIGHT ESCALATES: 'DECLINE IS A CHOICE'However, Democrat City Council President Helena Moreno slammed Trumps remarks, saying in a statement that "we have had an unprecedented reduction in crime and violence in New Orleans," which is a blue city in a red state."This is an attack on certain cities. There are many cities with mayors aligned with this President whose crime issues are severe, but theyre not targeted," added Moreno, who is running to be the next mayor of New Orleans. "That clearly shows that this is about scare tactics and public safety. Ultimately leading to the misuse of public funds and resources to attempt to score political points.""We cannot allow this, and I will fight to prevent any federal takeover of New Orleans," she declared.ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT LEADERS BLAST TRUMP PUSH TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGOU.S. Rep. Troy Carter, a Democrat whose district includes New Orleans, called Trumps comments a "political stunt.""Militarizing the streets of New Orleans is not a solution. Period," he said in a statement. "If the President wants to provide federal resources to the City, Ill work with him to provide funding to recruit and better train police officers, better fund our district attorney, fix the infrastructure at Orleans Parish Prison and fund the very programs he has cut that get at the root cause of crime: systemic poverty."The City of New Orleans and the New Orleans Police Department also released a joint statement Wednesday saying that, "We have consistently worked with our federal partners, including collaborations with the Louisiana State Police," and that, "This collaborative approach has been instrumental in our ongoing success in reducing crime.""Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the women and men of the NOPD, the strategic use of advanced technology, and a steadfast commitment to constitutional policing, strong public safety partnerships have also played a critical role in driving and sustaining this downward trend in crime," that statement read."Our federal and state partnerships have played a significant role in ensuring public safety, particularly during special events for a world-class city," the statement added. "The City of New Orleans and NOPD remain committed to sustaining this momentum, ensuring that every neighborhood continues to feel the impact of these combined efforts."

A New Jersey school teacher has admitted to sexually assaulting two of her teen students, prosecutors said.Julie Rizzitello, 37, pleaded guilty last week to two counts of second-degree sexual assault for the crimes that took place in 2017 and 2024, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutors Office.Rizzitello, who taught at Wall High School in Wall Township, was arrested in July 2024 after police were notified by an employee from the district about her relationship with a student, according to the Coast Star. She was also charged with witness tampering and three counts of criminal sexual contact at the time.NJ ELEMENTARY TEACHER ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING STUDENT, HAVING HIS CHILD WHEN HE WAS 13The incidents with that victim took place in May and June of that year, according to the outlet, citing a police arrest warrant.Rizzitello and the student, who had turned 18, had sexual contact in his car in Brick in May 2024, NJ.com reports, citing an affidavit of probable cause outlining the charges against her. They also met at various other locations, while she also sent him nude photos, officials said.After she was arrested, a second victimcame forward and revealed that he and Rizzitello had intercourse in November 2017 and January 2018 at her residence in Brick Township on the Jersey Shore. Pictures and text messages were provided to the detective that corroborated statements during the interview, according to Coast Star, citing an affidavit of probable cause. The victim was 17 at the time.HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ASSAULTING FORMER TEEN STUDENT AT HER HOMESean OHalloran, Wall Township police chief, said that Rizzitello had taken advantage of her position as an educator."The actions of this former teacher represent a betrayal of trust, not only to the victims, but to the entire school community," OHalloran told Coast Stare in a statement. "I commend the courage of those who came forward and the dedication of our officers and partner agencies in bringing this case to justice. Protecting our youth is among our highest priority and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that criminals are brought to justice to safeguard our residents and guests."Rizzitello, of Brick Township, will be sentenced on Jan. 9, and prosecutors said they will recommend she serve 10 years in state prison and be registered as a sex offender under Megans Law, a set of state and federal rules that require people convicted of certain sex offenses to register with law enforcement.Prosecutors will also call for lifetime parole supervision and be barred from holding public office.Rizzitello, who taught English, was hired in 2013 and was paid an annual salary of around $62,000 before resigning from her job, per NJ.com.In July, Wall Township Public Schools acknowledged the charges against Rizzitello and stated the district was fully cooperating with law enforcement while urging anyone with information to contact police.

EXCLUSIVE: A young Gazan boy dubbed "Amir" who traveled to a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution site and was reported as having been killed by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in May, has been found alive and was hiding out with his mother.In an exclusive interview with the boy whose real name was confirmed by the GHF to be Abdul Rahim Muhammad Hamden, but who goes by "Abboud," the 8-year-old and his mother answered questions provided by Fox News Digital through a GHF translator, in which the pair appeared excited ahead of their planned extraction from the Gaza Strip.Abboud and his mother, whose name is Najlaa, were safely extracted from the Gaza Strip on Thursday, though the location has not been disclosed in this reporting for their protection."Outside the Gaza Strip is nice," Abboud said, according to a translation verified by Fox News Digital.The story of Abboud went viral after a former GHF contractor, Anthony Aguilar, a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army and retired Green Beret Lt. Col., said he saw the boy who he called "Amir" gunned down by IDF forces outside a GHF distribution site on May 28.ISRAEL SAYS UN MISLEADS WORLD AS GAZA AID STOLEN AND DIVERTED FROM CIVILIANSIn his account, Aguilar showed images taken using his body camera footage of the boy approaching him and another contractor clutching bags of food.Aguilar claimed that he and the boy had a touching moment where Abdul, whose nickname is Abboud, kissed his hand and then his face in apparent thanks for the food supplies.The former Green Beret said that the boy then ran back to the group of other Palestinians who were shortly after forced to leave the aid site after pepper spray, tear gas, and stun grenades were employed, he claimed in an interview with MSNBC.Aguilar who was employed as a contractor for UG Solutions, a subcontractor for GHF then said he heard shots fired after the Palestinians had left, and upon reaching the scene, he found Abboud and others had been shot by the IDF.ISRAEL SET TO LAUNCH GAZA CITY OFFENSIVE: HIGH STAKES, HIGH COSTS AHEAD"Shot to the torso, a shot to the leg dead," he told Dialogue Works regarding Abboud.In his accounts of the incident to multiple media outlets, as well as Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., on July 29, Aguilar claimed the killing happened first outside GHF aid site SDS 1 before telling MSNBC on Aug. 2 that the shooting happened near SDS 2, and then telling Dialogue Works late last month the events occurred outside SDS 3.The GHF, who terminated Aguilars contract in June, launched an investigation at the end of July to try and locate the identity of the boy and uncover what happened.Through their investigation, which relied on speaking with local Palestinians, they eventually tracked down Abbouds mother and her son.The identities of Abboud, his mother and other relatives were verified by GHF by using facial recognition software that compared the images of the boy with those captured by Aguilar, along with biometric data shared with Fox News Digital.In footage exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, Abboud, is seen playfully interacting with a GHF representative after he first arrived at Secure Distribution Site (SDS) 3 with his mother late last month."We are overjoyed and deeply relieved that Abboud is safe, and that this story ends in hope," GHF Executive Chair Johnnie Moore said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "That outcome was never guaranteed and its thanks to the courage and persistence of our team of American heroes; veterans who never stopped working to find him and bring him to safety in the most complex environment imaginable."Concern mounted as Aguilars story gained international attention that Hamas had a vested interest in ensuring that Abboud was not found, as it would discredit the claim that the GHF and the IDF had engaged in not only brutal but deadly behavior towards Palestinians."While this story ends happily, it could have ended in tragedy," Moore added. "Too many people, including in the press and civil society, were quick to spread unverified claims without asking the most basic questions."When a childs life is at stake, facts must matter more than headlines," he added.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAbbouds mother brought him to SDS 3 late last month under a heavy disguise, before the pair, along with four other male family members, including at least one who had been threatened by Hamas, were extracted from the Gaza Strip, a GHF representative involved in the operation confirmed to Fox News Digital."He and his mother have been moved to safe and secure location. We will not be disclosing their whereabouts at this time for their safety and security, but we have every belief that they are on their way to a new life," GHF spokesman Chapman Fay told Fox News Digital.Najlaa said her wish for her son's future is that he be "at ease.""My son and I suffered a lot. But we thank God," she added. "I thank everyone who helped me and stood by me."

Senate Republicans are grappling with President Donald Trumps move to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding and what the ramifications could be on the looming deadline to fund the government.Senate Democrats previously warned after the GOPs first go-round with clawbacks that any further attempt to gut congressionally-approved funding would be a red line, and that it could lead to Democratic lawmakers withholding their support for a short-term government funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR).The Trump administrations decision last week to go forward with a pocket rescission, which skirts the 45-day window needed for a typical clawback package, rattled Senate Democrats and has alarmed some Republicans about finding a path forward to keep the government open.GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, EPSTEIN FILES, DC CRIME: CONGRESS RETURNS TO MOUNTAIN OF DRAMA"The last thing in the world we need to do is to give our Democrat colleagues any reason not to try to move forward with the appropriations process," Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said."That does concern me, and once again, we need to get the appropriations process back on track," he continued. "We're going to do whatever we can to get this thing through this year. We're committed to it. It's better if Congress takes back its authority on this. Quit doing continuing resolutions, do the appropriations process."Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., on the other hand, was all for the move and wasnt worried about the impact it could have on a shutdown."I'm concerned about more spending from those negotiations," he told Fox News Digital. "Again, you're not going to get me concerned about anything that cuts spending or reduces the size and scope across government. I'm all for it, no matter how we do it."Still, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., will likely need Democratic support to advance any spending bills, let alone a CR by Sept. 30, through the upper chambers filibuster threshold, given that a handful of Republicans never vote for funding extensions.WHITE HOUSE MOVE TO CANCEL $4.9B FOREIGN AID WITH 'POCKET RESCISSION' BLASTED AS ILLEGALRounds and other members of the Senate Appropriations Committee are in favor of barreling forward with passing spending bills and have so far been successful in advancing three with bipartisan support.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who in July warned that Trumps first $9 billion clawback package would have "grave implications" on the appropriations process, has maintained that congressional Democrats were united in their desire to continue working on spending bills with Republicans.He warned that Republicans would "face their greatest test under the Trump administration," to either work across the aisle or face a shutdown."However, as near the funding deadline, Republicans are once again threatening to go at it alone, heading our country towards a shutdown," Schumer said.Thune has also remained committed to seeing lawmakers pass the dozen bills needed to fund the government, but acknowledged "inevitably, it looks like [we] need a CR for some time for the foreseeable future."And he warned that Democrats may try to use the latest clawback package "as an excuse" to not fund the government.GRIDLOCK CRUMBLES AS SENATE ADVANCES SPENDING BILLS IN RACE AGAINST SHUTDOWN"That's all it'll be is an excuse, because they know that I'm committed, Sen. [Susan] Collins is committed, our conference is committed to working constructively to try and fund the government through the normal appropriations process," he said.Meanwhile, some Republicans questioned if turning toward clawbacks was the best way to tackle spending cuts and argued that such measures were already baked into the annual appropriations process.When news of the package surfaced, Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, charged that efforts to claw back "appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law."Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., told Fox News Digital he wasnt worried about the legality of the move so much as whether turning to the clawbacks was "the most efficient way to get at spending cuts.""I think the appropriations process is a better way, and we've had some success, and Id like to keep that momentum going and try to, you know, avoid a shutdown and get back to regular order," he said.

Minneapolis was shaken when gunfire erupted outside Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday, Aug. 27 the fourth major shooting in less than 24 hours.The school attack, which terrified students and parents, capped a violent spree that left at least three people dead and more than a dozen others wounded across the city.The violence began Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 26, when a gunman opened fire on a group standing on a sidewalk in broad daylight. One victim was killed and six others wounded.Later that night, a second deadly shooting unfolded, followed by a third shooting in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Aug. 27. Then, just hours later, gunfire rang out outside the church near Annunciation Catholic School an attack that rocked an already reeling community.MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH SHOOTING AUDIO CAPTURES FIRST RESPONDERS RUSHING TO CHAOTIC SCENE IN DEADLY ATTACKFollowing the third reported shooting, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian OHara expressed concern, calling the recent spike in gun violence "deeply unsettling.""Across three separate multiple-victim shootings, eight people have been injured by gunfire and three have lost their lives," O'Hara said in a news release, issued before the school attack added to the toll."While this level of violence is cause for concern, our resolve to fight for the safety of every person in our community is unwavering," he continued.Gov. Tim Walz responded by deploying additional state law enforcement officers to Minneapolis to bolster patrols around schools and places of worship."No child in America should go to school apprehensive of danger, of losing a classmate, of gunshots during prayer," Walz said in a news release. "We will work in close partnership with the City of Minneapolis to give residents every reassurance that their families and their children are safe."WHAT LEADS SOMEONE TO COMMIT A MASS SHOOTING? TRUMP ADMIN, RFK JR PLAN TO FIND OUTMinnesota State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic stressed that the states role extends beyond enforcement. "Our presence is about more than patrols its about letting the people of Minneapolis know they are not alone."Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson echoed that message, noting: "The loss Minneapolis is experiencing right now is felt across our entire state. By coming together, local and state law enforcement are sending a clear message: The people of Minneapolis are not alone."The spree came just months after city officials touted progress in curbing violence. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey previously highlighted stretches with no homicides and said the citys Northside was "safer than its been in over a decade."City data showed 2024 recorded the fewest gunshot victims since 2014. But Frey acknowledged how quickly progress can unravel. Just before his spring remarks, an April 29 mass shooting left four people dead.Jillian Peterson, executive director of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center and a criminology professor at Hamline University, told USA Today that surges in violence can still occur despite positive trends.KAROLINE LEAVITT CALLS PSAKI'S PRAYER COMMENTS 'UTTERLY DISRESPECTFUL' AFTER MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL SHOOTING"We tend to see clusters like this, and its difficult to determine whether theyre part of a larger pattern or isolated incidents," Peterson said. "But something like the shooting at Annunciation School hasn't happened in a very long time."Adding to the citys trauma were the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses at their homes in July.According to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks such incidents, Minneapolis has seen at least six mass shootings in 2025 so far. The organization defines a mass shooting as one where four or more people are hit by gunfire, not including the shooter.Public safety expert David Zimmer argued that, despite improvements, Minneapolis remains the epicenter of Minnesotas violent crime problem."Following the post-George Floyd uprising in 2020, Minneapolis experienced an explosion in violent crime, including murder, robbery and carjackings,"Zimmer explained. "While those elevated rates of violent crime have decreased over their peaks in 2022 and 2023, violent crime in 2024 remained 45% higher than it had been in 2018."Zimmer said that stat is significant because while Minneapolis only represents 7% of Minnesota's population, the city accounts for:"As Minneapolis goes, so goes Minnesota," Zimmer said.VANCE BLASTS PSAKI FOR POST DECLARING PRAYER 'IS NOT FREAKING ENOUGH' IN RESPONSE TO MINNESOTA SHOOTINGZimmer also noted the Minneapolis Police Department is operating 40% below authorized strength, with just 550 sworn officers, one of the lowest staffing ratios among major U.S. cities.Despite staffing challenges, Zimmer praised the MPD's "Crime Pattern Response Protocol," which he said has proven successful in responding to patterns of violent robberies and carjackings.The violent spree has renewed political battles over Minnesotas progressive criminal justice policies.Zimmer argued that lawmakers often prioritize the impact of laws on offenders rather than victims. "The fact is, Minnesota has consistently been among the states with the lowest imprisonment rates in the nation," he said, "but narratives about overincarceration make it difficult to strengthen consequences for criminal activity."Retired NYPD Inspector and Fox News contributor Paul Mauro also pointed to the sprees scale: "Were well into the twenties on shooting victims in that town over the last two days," he wrote on X, calling out progressive officials like Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty.According to data from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, murders climbed sharply after Walz took office in 2019, from 117 that year to a peak of 201 in 2021, before gradually falling to 172 in 2023.Analysts blame pandemic disruptions, anti-police sentiment, progressive prosecutorial decisions, and the so-called "Ferguson effect," where police scale back proactive enforcement.Walz's office did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Fox News' Emma Colton contributed to this report.

Conservative commentator Benny Johnson says the American dream is at risknot because of policybut because of a growing lack of "basic human decency and sympathy" from the political left.Johnson recently blasted The New York Times over what he called a "sloppy hit job" that downplayed the dangers his wife and newborn faced when a rowhouse next to his home was set on fire in Washington, D.C. in 2020. While the paper has stood by its reporting, Johnson argues The Times showed a "lack of humanity" that reflects a broader issue."There is a horrifying tactic on the left, that is to dehumanize your political opponent or enemy," Johnson told Fox News Digital.Johnson, a conservative pundit with 3.8 million followers on X and 5.6 million YouTube subscribers, said he doesnt consider any fellow American an "enemy." When former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May, Johnson said he prayed for the entire Biden family despite years-long political differences.BENNY JOHNSON SCOLDS WHITE HOUSE REPORTERS WHO 'LIE' ABOUT D.C. BEING SAFE DURING PRESS BRIEFING"I hope that whatever days God has for him on this earth are painless and that he lives them out. We're not celebrating anything bad happening to another American," Johnson said.Johnson doesnt believe similar empathy comes from the left."As you saw a couple days ago in Minneapolis, when a transgender shooter murdered children kneeling and praying in a church, many on the left, including some of their biggest spokespeople, couldn't even pray for them," Johnson said.Johnson pointed to MSNBC host Jen Psaki, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as high-profile Democrats who were critical of those offering prayers after the Minneapolis church school shooting."When President Trump was shot in the head in Butler, many accounts were very upset that the shooter didn't have better aim," Johnson said.MSNBC'S JEN PSAKI TURNS CHURCH SCHOOL SHOOTING INTO ATTACK ON PRAYER, TRUMP'S DC CRIME CRACKDOWNThe latest example came over the Labor Day weekend when speculation about Trumps health and rumors that he had died circulated on social media.Trump was fine, to the chagrin of CBS "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" audience, which booed when the host said the former president is "very much alive.""I want to live in a country where, even if I have a political objection to somebody, and they're on the other side, that I'm not wishing them harm," Johnson said. "It's just basic human decency and sympathy. And these kinds of things are what build societies that you wish to live in."Johnson believes this shouldnt be a political issue, but rather a moral one."Sadly, and unfortunately, the left time and time again proves that they are capable of totally dehumanizing the other side and refusing to grant any shred of humanity or decency," Johnson said."TheAmerica I want is an America where we see each other as having inherent value, regardless of your background or your politics. And that's how you can make a culture and a society you want tolive in and raise children in," he continued. "I'mgoing to do everything in my power to create that America, as a birthright to my children."

A family visit took an awkward turn when a curious aunt accidentally ate dog food fueling a heated Reddit discussion about etiquette.In a post on the popular "Am I The A--hole" community, a user wrote that she lives in a house with her medium-sized dog and keeps a designated area for her pet's essentials."My kitchen is structured in a way that there is an area dedicated to my dog's things: dog food storage, bowls, food toppers basically everything that has to do with his nutrition," the 25-year-old woman wrote.IS IT 'RUDE' TO BOX UP LEFTOVERS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE PAYS? FATHER-SON FEUD SPARKS DEBATEThe user's dog food powders are made from a variety of different meats and fish, including beef sirloin, mussels, lamb and chicken, she said."[On] the label, it says what it is and what it is intended for, but there's no dog [shown] on the label that would make it super obvious at first glance that it's a dog item," she added. "That's just how the brand labels products."The drama began when the woman's 60-year-old aunt stopped by to help set up her phone."I saw I needed something long-ish to be able to open the compartment that would let me add the SIM card in," the Redditor recalled. "I told her to wait, and I went to look for one."SUNDAY DINNER SERVES UP DRAMA AS WOMAN SAYS SHE 'CANT STAND' MOTHER-IN-LAW'S COOKINGThe aunt, meanwhile, went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. Next thing the niece knew, the older woman was holding one of the dog food jars in her hand."I hear her asking what I use that powder for and that it tastes quite nice," the niece wrote. "I immediately gasped and let her know I use that for my dog it's dog 'food.'"She then said her aunt "freaked out.""I assured her that while it's used for dogs, it's completely fine and safe for humans and that nothing's going to happen to her at all," the original poster wrote."I apologized for the fact she had eaten that in my house, and she started blaming me for leaving the food toppers 'there.'"CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe woman concluded, "She has now gone to my mom, other aunts, cousins."Commenters on the Reddit thread were quick to call out the prying aunt, accusing her of being nosy."Aunt will be known forevermore as 'Snoopy,'" one user joked.Another argued, "If you open cupboards in someone else's home and help yourself, no one 'let you' eat whatever you consumed without asking!"Lisa Gache, CEO and founder of Beverly Hills Manners in California, told Fox News Digital that the concept of "petiquette" has been long-established but the Redditor's situation is unusual.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"I have yet to see specific guidelines that dictate labeling pet food items in one's own home," the expert said. "In this scenario, the food items were stored in a designated dog area and the assumption is that they would not be mistaken as anything other than dog-related food."In similar situations, Gache advised hosts to show calmness and empathy something the Redditor seems to have done.The expert said that the aunt bears the responsibility and that rummaging through someone else's cabinets is "ignoring basic guest etiquette.""While the aunt didn't help matters by blaming her niece and gossiping to the family, the best remedy going forward is for the woman to use warmth and good humor to smooth over the incident with a hug and say that she hopes they can have a good laugh about this in the future," Gache suggested.
