Reddit is full of stories from people from all walks of life, and one main thread that we get to see them on is the AITA thread. Now, if you don't know what this is, then let us explain.
The AITA thread on Reddit is one of the most visited threads on there as it is a place where people can come to tell their stories or situations, and ultimately they're looking to get an opinion on whether or not they are in the wrong.
Sometimes this can be a situation where they reacted a certain way, or if they just decided to do something and they are wondering if they're bad for that.
We see all types of stories on this thread, but today, we're talking about a post where a woman asked if she was in the wrong for suggesting to her boyfriend that he let his kids spend Christmas with their mom instead of bringing them along with her family.
This can be a really controversial topic, as we'll see in the comments, but ultimately the decision on whether she was wrong or not was unanimous.
So if you want to know more about this situation and what happened, then keep reading as we dive in.

Mundane-Solution5657This is the rest from the comment above. This suggestion is a good way to make sure they're both happy.
Mundane-Solution5657She definitely would be in the wrong to make her change the way they have things going with their co-parenting situation.
One-Awareness3671Awkward moments are going to happen no matter where they are so it's best to get it over with on a large holiday where everyone is happy.
MaybeAWalrusThis person really had a lot to say about how she handled the situation.
[deleted]Ultimately she's the odd one out and that can suck, but she has to realize that the kids do and always will come first.
penguin_squeakNobody truly knows her reasoning but this person sure thought they had an idea.
Prestigious_Net_383Some people clearly don't know what it's like to be in or grow up in a divorced household.
SJoyDObviously the kids are also old enough to understand that they're supposed to spend it with their dad and they are probably excited for this.
UsuallyWrite2If she's worried about drama or awkward moments with her family and his kids then it sounds like her family's problem.
LowArtichoke6440This hit the nail on the head because he definitely said everything we were thinking.
randyjohnson_seagullMaking him skip a year is not okay at all.
dcm510OP just doesn't understand and her boyfriend should definitely tell her where her place is.
ABeerAndABookMany people even said that this would've been a deal breaker for them.
Confident_Smile_7264After reading the post and all of the comments, we can say that OP was in the wrong here. People really had a lot to say about the situation and let her know where her place was because clearly, she didn't really know.
How do you feel about this?
