A woman shared on Reddit that her boyfriend was taking her to Disneyland to enjoy the Christmas decorations. Her sister, who still lives at home and is struggling financially, asked to join and stay with them at their hotel. The woman declined and suggested her sister’s boyfriend, Tey—who doesn’t contribute financially and switches jobs often—should pay for her instead.
This upset the sister, who turned to their father in tears. While their dad also dislikes Tey, he scolded the woman for being harsh. Their mother later called her, calling her insensitive and urging her to include the sister.
Despite the backlash, the woman stood firm, saying it’s not her or her boyfriend’s responsibility to fund her sister’s vacation. The post sparked debate online about family expectations and financial boundaries.
Should she have handled it differently? What would you do?
