AITA For Refusing To Take My Turn Hosting Family Dinners After Everyone Always Bails On Mine?
-----
A 24-year-old woman cherished her family's tradition of Sunday dinners, where everyone took turns hosting and cooking. When she moved out, she eagerly continued the tradition, putting great effort into planning and preparing meals. But over the past few months, she noticed a change. When it was her turn to host, her siblings would cancel last minute with weak excuses, and her parents often arrived late and left early. Yet, when others hosted, everyone showed up on time, engaged, and stayed late.
Feeling disheartened, she confronted her family, but they dismissed her concerns, insisting she was overreacting. Eventually, she decided to skip her turn to host, without announcing it. That Sunday, her family unexpectedly showed up, expecting dinner, and were shocked when there was nothing prepared. They criticized her for not following through, claiming she was the one disrespecting the tradition.
Afterward, they sent messages scolding her, saying she had acted immaturely and needed to "make up" for missing her turn by helping out more at the next dinner. Hurt and frustrated, she felt like her efforts to keep the tradition alive had gone unappreciated, and now she was being blamed for not living up to their expectations, even though they had repeatedly failed to meet hers.
