I am 17M and have 3 brothers 21/16/17. My family planned to get a Christmas tree tomorrow an hour away. I was surprised when this morning my father told me we would be getting it today. I wasn’t prepared or in the mood to go and needed to relax for a while. I told my father I wasn’t feeling great with a bad stomach and mentioned I was exhausted from the previous long night in the city. He insisted I went. An hour later when the whole family was in the car, my mother called me. She asked if I was going or not and I told her no. She told me it was fine but then 5 minutes later they come back into the house screaming at eachother. I then get a text from
My mother saying “thanks for ruining a nice family Christmas experience. Hope you are happy.” This was backed up by my father taking my driving privileges until the end of the year and screaming for an hour… Apparently my brothers are complaining that if I wasn’t going why should they. Sorry for the rambling but AITA and did I ruin the experience?
NTA. It sounds like nobody wanted to go except your parents and unfortunately you’re taking the heat for your siblings.
