Family and holidays often mix together in a variety of ways. It isn't all fun and roses… You need to walk on eggshells, for the most part, as everyone has their own special set of triggers. For example, maybe you don't want to mention that you're majoring in art to Grandpa, who thinks anything besides finance is a waste of time (This generation knows nothing!). And maybe don't mention that you've been taking yoga classes (our back, guys) to your mother, who doesn't shy away from her brutal opinions about it (It's just a fancy way of stretching! Total waste of money). Perhaps don't broach the subject of inflation (or how much you pay for rent for that matter) with dad because he'll go ballistic.
Now, as if that weren't enough, you've also got a lot of thinking to do when buying Christmas gifts. Yeah, we're aware that Christmas is (finally) over, but some family drama ensues all the same. While scouring Reddit, I came across a post on r/AITA that I honestly can't really form an opinion about, regarding expensive gifts for family. I certainly can't afford to spend that ridiculous amount of money on myself, let alone anyone else, so maybe I'm not the person to ask… But opinions are flying all over the place in the comment section, so feel free to join and judge away.
