"My family and I celebrate Thanksgiving every year with my siblings, parents, and their kids. Roughly 20-25 people (including kids). My family is only two people with one 6-month-old baby. In the group chat, it was decided that my nephew would cook meat since he bought a grill. He also told us that we could bring the sides. He chose to spend $300 on meat. I messaged in the group chat that we would bring mashed potatoes."
"The following day in the group chat, my sister said: 'Option 1: bring food enough for everyone, not just yourself. Option 2: help thomas pay for meat $100/family Option 3: help dad pay water bill $200/family. Choose wisely...' 'Upset, I responded with Option 4: 'don't show up.' Am I being an asshole if I don't show up at all in 'protest' to this $100 minimum rule?"
A family Thanksgiving of approximately 20–25 people required contributions after a nephew bought a grill and chose to spend $300 on meat. A couple with a six-month-old baby offered to bring mashed potatoes. A sister announced a mandatory minimum of $100 per family or asked families to help pay for the meat or a $200 water bill. The poster responded by saying they would not show up in protest of the unexpected fee. The sister later posted a picture of the poster's teacher salary in the group chat to shame them. The poster then declined to attend, and the sister's demands were criticized as profiteering.
