'Two 50+ year old sisters [are] fighting over an inheritance': 20 Stories of juicy family drama

Let's take a peek behind the curtain: what are these families squabbling about right now? No two families are alike, and none of them are perfect, either. Whether your family is just two people and a pet, or two parents and 2.5 kids, or a giant mixed family with stepparents, there's plenty of love to go around. Each family has to figure out how to navigate their lives together: for example, some families have dinner together each night, and they work out any issues while eating a casserole. But…

Adult son refuses to attend parent's 1 PM Christmas "dinner" because he'd have to get up at 7AM to prepare the turkey: 'For context, I buy the Turkey at £130'

I remember being so frustrated as a kid and into my teenage years as my extended family tried to optimize Christmas further and further every year to ease the burden on the family member hosting. And, to be fair, with a large extended family hosting a holiday was no small thing, and being young and completely blind to the exhaustive burden that life as an adult brings, I didn't appreciate that an additional monumental task of planning, cooking, cleaning and hosting that having the family around…

25+ Gift givers who gave the worst presents ever: 'Suddenly, she no longer wanted to exchange gifts'

What's the worst present you've ever received (or given)? Some people just are not good at gifting things to others. We all have that one aunt who gives everyone ill-fitting clothes, or hands out toys that the kiddos are way too old to play with. Although, as you can read in the answers of this hilarious r/AskReddit thread below, a lot of people have given bad gifts on purpose! For a few folks, getting subpar presents from the same person year after year started to grate on them. One person sha…

Dad gets mad at adult daughter for turning guest room into nursery for their newborn, preventing him from being able to stay with them during visits: 'He said it was selfish [...] to keep an office [...] over a [guest] room'

Having relatives stay with you is difficult for everyone; the person visiting is displaced, and the person hosting has their life and normal routines disrupted with someone else always suddenly present. And in a small home or an apartment you really begin to feel the effects of this. This is further complicated by the needs of any babies, children, or pets who live at home with you, adding another often less predictable element to the mix. The trade-off is that you get to spend a whole length o…

Mom refuses 10-year-old son's Christmas gift request for $300 video game cosmetic item: 'I am not a fan of buying things in video games'

Cosmetic items in games continue to reach new highs—when it comes to pricing—and lows in terms of the actual value you're getting for what you're paying for. Back when we were playing Nintendo 64s, the last thing any of us would have imagined was that one day, we'd be paying for unfinished games and senseless cosmetics. Now, thanks to the rise of updates and downloadable content, even our favorite and storied developers are shipping games that are missing content to be added later as “updates”…

‘It's messed up': Employee gets pressured by family to call in sick instead of working on Christmas Eve, she refuses to risk her job in favor of a family dinner

Although nobody likes to work on Christmas, some of us find ourselves landing jobs that require us to work during the holidays. It's not fun, but that's having a job in a nutshell, and there is not much we can do about it. If we value our job, we have to accept that sometimes we make sacrifices for it, including working on Christmas. The employee in this Reddit story (OP, original poster) was hired as a seasonal worker, so she knew from the start she would be required to work during the holiday…

Mom refuses to host Christmas dinner and only invites select family members, the rest of the family finds out, then demands to be invited as well: 'You host, then'

Every year, as we approach Christmas Eve, the biggest question that hovers above our heads is – Where are we going to spend the holiday? If you're lucky, you get to choose between a few options. It can be different family members who decided to host, it can be a group of friends, or if you are brave enough, you might choose to host yourself. If you have no options, it can only mean one thing – No one you know wishes to undertake the mission of hosting a Christmas dinner themselves, and honestly…

Mother cuts off contact with her children after moving in with new husband, 23-year-old daughter is left alone with young siblings: 'She picked a man over her children'

When talking to new parents, one of the biggest changes they would mention about becoming a parent is how they are no longer only living for their own sake. Having a kid means that your existence and purpose in life do not revolve around you anymore, but it revolves around this completely separate human being. This creates a firm distinction between good and bad parents – Good parents see this change as beautiful and meaningful, and bad parents teach themselves to resent their kids for it. It s…

'This felt like an ultimatum': 30-year-old husband pressured by wife to pick between his family and hers for the holidays, he refuses to choose his in-laws

Figuring out logistics for the holiday season always requires making some tough decisions. However, if making these decisions puts a marriage in hot water, then there is a larger problem going on behind the scenes. Here, we have a 30-year-old husband who was hoping to split Christmas eve and Christmas day with his family as well as his wife's parents so both sets of grandparents could have some time with their three-year-old daughter.
