A man turned to Reddit for advice after his sister-in-law treated him like a stingy and cheap person. He had already offered them an all-inclusive trip. What more could they possibly want?
Work Perks
OP (Original Poster) traveled a lot for work, so he had a lot of hotel and airline points. The summer this story was posted, OP planned to take his family to Disney World and stay at one of the resorts on the property.
Doing Something Out of the Goodness of His Heart
He noted that his sister-in-law and her family had a hard time during the pandemic, so he decided to do something nice and invite them for the trip.
He would be treating them to a Disney adventure! OP shared, “I said I would pay for their flights, hotel, and park tickets.”
The Excitement Dying Down
Everyone in the family was excited to go on the trip. However, when OP’s sister-in-law talked to his wife, everything started to change.
OP wrote, “Now she is upset that we are staying at one of the resorts, and they have to stay in Disney Springs.”
You’re Being Cheap!
OP’s sister-in-law accused him of being “cheap” because he was using his points for their hotel instead of outright paying for them to stay at the same resort as the rest of OP’s family.
On Your Side
Thankfully, OP’s wife was on his side for this issue. He said, “My wife told her sister and brother-in-law to shut the f**k up and accept the gift, but they didn’t.”
Roping Others In
Instead of being grateful and accepting the gift, OP’s sister-in-law and her husband even told his in-laws that he was “making their kids jealous by not letting them enjoy the same stuff as them.”
It’s a Nice Hotel!
OP further clarified that the hotel he booked for them was “very nice.” But it “just wasn’t The Grand Floridian.”
Ultimatum
OP had had enough of the drama, so he talked to his sister-in-law.
He gave them the choice of accepting his gift or not coming since he could still cancel their reservations.
Yelling Fest
Upon hearing this, OP’s sister-in-law and her husband started yelling and accused him of being an “a**hole for taking away something from their children.”
More Issues
OP was disappointed by how his sister-in-law and her husband reacted. Because of how they responded, the issue got even bigger.
He said, “I had talked to them like adults, but when they started screaming, their kids heard them and found out that they might not be going.”
Disappointed Kids
Now, OP’s sister-in-law’s kids are “p***ed at their parents because they possibly f****d up” their vacation.
Was It My Fault?
OP’s worried that he’s a bigger a**hole because he made his sister-in-law and her husband look bad in front of their kids.
He’s also questioning whether he was wrong for not making reservations for them at the same resort they were staying at.
What the Community Thinks
Redditors are appalled by how entitled and ungrateful his sister-in-law and husband are.
A top commenter advised, “You’re gifting them airline tickets, park tickets, and a nice hotel, and they demand more? Cancel their tickets. Immediately. For their benefit, too, so they drop this entitled idiocy forever. So the kids learn you get nothing if you’re being an a**. So they don’t try to walk all over you in the future. Not the a**hole. That would be them.”
Who Do They Think They Are?
The community could not get over the fact that OP was called out for being “cheap” when he already offered to do so much.
One said, “They should be thankful you offered to even pay for flights, let alone tickets, and the hotel—and for the whole family? The level of entitlement is beyond comprehension.” Another person also wrote, “I’m not even a Disney person, but if someone offered me and my family a free vacation, I sure as hell wouldn’t turn up my nose at it. Not the a**hole.”
A Debate
OP’s post also sparked a debate about whether he should take his sister-in-law’s kids.
Quite a number essentially said, “Dump the parents; take the kids.” However, there were also a lot of Redditors who advised against this, especially since OP and his wife would be responsible for a lot more kids than they originally planned.
What would you do if you were in OP’s shoes? How would you respond to his entitled sister-in-law?
