Would you invite strangers to your home on Thanksgiving just because your mom is friends with these people?
This woman is in that exact situation, and she is not okay with her mom’s demands!
Now her mom isn’t talking to her, and she’s wondering if she made the wrong decision.
Read the story below for all the details.
AITA for not allowing a family come over for Thanksgiving?
I (30F) had plans changed when my boyfriend couldn’t visit this Thanksgiving.
My brother (27M) plans to have his dinner with my mother (50F) and her family.
So, I am going to spend it alone.
Her mother asked her to invite a family from her church for Thanksgiving.
The issue arose when my mother called me.
She demanded (yes, demanded!) I invite a family from her church to spend Thanksgiving at my house.
I naturally said no, and then she asked me to give them my turkey, and I said no again.
When she refused, her mother called her selfish.
It went back and forth until she snapped that I am a selfish witch, and my turkey isn’t even good.
Before I could explain that I wasn’t comfortable with strangers at my house, she hanged up on me.
And now, she won’t answer my calls.
Now, she feels a little guilty about all this.
I don’t think I’m the jerk, but I do feel a bit guilty.
Like maybe I could have offered to give her church friends at least 100 dollars.
AITA?
Her mother seems awfully demanding!
