A woman who said she is 40 years old with a large family "needs a break this year" from hosting Thanksgiving at her home after many years of doing so — yet she's taking heat for the declaration after the family has grown accustomed to her generosity
When she brought it up in a family group chat — "thinking it would be a reasonable request and it’s plenty ahead of time" — her two older sisters did not take kindly to the suggestion.
They "were not happy with the idea," she wrote in her post.
They said they're either too busy or have "smaller houses," or they're "dealing with a lot of stress" and don't "have the energy to host."
As a result, both older sisters suggested the same sister keep doing it again this year to "keep the tradition going" — plus, she knows how to do it right, they insisted.
The woman insisted in her Reddit post that she feels she's "done my fair share over the years, and it’s not unreasonable to ask for a break. But at the same time, I understand that my older sisters are also under a lot of pressure, and that hosting Thanksgiving is a big deal for our family."
She asked others on the social media platform if she's wrong for "refusing to host Thanksgiving this year after doing it for the past decade."
