Standing Up for Yourself at Family Gatherings

Family gatherings can be a mixed bag. It’s not always easy to please everyone, especially when it comes to family events. One Reddit user recently shared their experience on the AITA subreddit, and it left many of us wondering: what would we do in that situation?

The anonymous Reddit user had always been successful compared to their family members. Whenever they were in town, they made it a point to treat their loved ones to dinner. So when their mom informed them of a family gathering at a high-end steakhouse, they didn’t think much of it.

However, upon arrival, they were in for a shock. Over 20 people were gathered at the restaurant, which was quite a departure from the small, intimate gatherings they were used to. To make matters worse, everyone had already ordered expensive steaks, ranging from $80 to $250 per person.

Feeling taken advantage of, the Reddit user decided to take a stand. They left $100 on the table to cover their portion of the bill and walked out of the restaurant. The following day, they left the country without saying goodbye.

It’s understandable that the Reddit user felt hurt and betrayed. They had always been generous to their family, providing cars, home renovations, vacations, and more. Yet, their act of kindness seemed to go unappreciated.
