Imagine having a yearly tradition where everyone in your family goes to your stepbrother’s house for Christmas. If you didn’t enjoy this tradition, would you keep going every year anyway, or would you make other plans?

In this story, one sibling is in that exact situation and really does not want to go to the stepbrother’s house this year.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for not wanting to go to my stepbrother’s house for holidays anymore?

I grew up without my dad and my mom married my step dad when I was young and he has two boys.

Was neither close with his kids or him. We are different people with very different values.

This doesn’t sound like very much fun.

My mom constantly asks me to go over to his oldest boys house that is married with kids there for holidays.

I have went the past two years and its so uncomfortable and not natural. We dont connect or talk… Its an hour away and not worth it to me.

I dont wanna just do fake family stuff.

She’s wondering if she should go anyway.

My step dads kids dont even talk to me when I go over, nor does his wife. didnt invite me to their wedding, and only say hi when I leave.

I feel my parents value them more because they took the same path they did in life and mine differs from theirs.

AITA for not wanting to go over there?

She should be able to enjoy the holidays, not feel forced to spend them with relatives she has never really liked. Although, that’s sometimes what the holidays are all about.

Let’s see what Reddit suggests.

It’s unclear if she was actually invited.

Even if it’s not true, she could still claim to have other plans.

But she really could make alternate plans.

This person can relate to not enjoying forced family gatherings.

It might be time to start a new holiday tradition.
