A woman is facing backlash from her family for refusing to attend their Christmas party because of the $250 price limit for their White Elephant gift exchange. She argues that her tight budget makes it impossible for her to comply.
This Woman's Family Is Pressuring Her To Bring A $250 White Elephant Gift To Their Christmas Party. Now She's Being Called"Petty" For Refusing To Attend
"I have a pretty tight budget this year with unexpected medical bills and just general life expenses. After paying for all my bills and essentials, there's barely enough left to get by. The idea of spending $250 on a gift is totally unrealistic for me. I expected to show up for the family dinner and festivities."
"My mom thinks I'm being 'petty' and that it's 'just one gift.' My dad says I'm overreacting and that it's not about the price; it's about the spirit of Christmas . Some of my siblings are saying I should just suck it up and 'join in' because it's about being together, while others are telling me they agree with me but are still going to participate since the majority of the family agreed to this.
Many users felt that the woman was NOT the asshole for not attending the party, as $250 was too big of an ask."I get it would be very uncomfortable to be the only one who couldn't afford it.
