How annoying is it when families completely ignore you?

Imagine planning to move to a different country. You tell your family about your plans, but they later claim you never told them. Would you apologize, or would you think it was all on them for not listening to you?

This guy shares how he told his family he was moving abroad, but they barely paid attention to him! Now they’re mad at him!

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for posting about my international move on Facebook when I thought I’d already told my family about it months ago?

I’m Canadian but have been living in South Korea with my wife and kids for the past 10 years.

Earlier this year, I went back to Canada on my own for a few months to test the waters for a permanent move.

While I was there, I interviewed for and was offered a job to start once I move back, and I enrolled my kids in school.

This is where it gets bad…

During my visit, I had several conversations with my family—my dad, my stepmom, and my sister—about the fact that I was probably moving back in July.

I was open about it and made sure they knew it was very likely to happen.

My dad even knew the exact day we bought our plane tickets.

After the tickets were booked, I made a Facebook post announcing the move.

He was not expecting that…

Since then, my sister and stepmom have basically ghosted me.

I found out from my dad that they’re upset because they “found out through Facebook” and feel I should have phoned them personally to tell them the final decision.

Honestly, I didn’t think it was a surprise. I thought I’d already made my intentions clear back in February.

I’m not particularly close to my stepmom or sister, and when I first told them I was planning the move, they weren’t exactly excited or supportive.

UH OH…

I didn’t mean to hurt anyone—I’m just not great with social cues, and I genuinely didn’t realize this would come across as insensitive.

So… AITA for not personally calling my family to say, “Hey, I’m officially moving,” and just posting it on Facebook instead?

GEEZ! That sounds weird!

Why can’t the family just be supportive of his decision?

Let’s find out what folks on Reddit think about this one.
