We are back again with another Reddit post from the AITA thread that we love so much. We enjoy these posts because they usually consist of some pretty interesting and juicy stories to look at, plus all the comments that people leave on the post trying to give OP their advice.

With this being said, today's post was submitted by a man who is looking to see if he's in the wrong for saying that he and his partner won't be attending the Easter Sunday plans with the family. Ultimately it's because the plans never accommodate their odd work schedule.

Although they understand that it's hard to work with, they had made their own plans, and so they turned down going with their family. So we want to give you the full story and share the full post with you and the comments that were submitted as well.

Most of these comments had a lot of great advice for OP on how he can handle the situation and tell him whether or not he's in the wrong for how he reacted. So without further ado, let's dive in and take a look at the full post and some of the best comments on it as well.

OP starts off their post with a little update/edit and then a disclaimer about being on mobile and their throwaway account.

They start off the post explaining that their MIL called to ask if they'd go to a cookout, to which his partner said no.

Then he goes into the context we need for these types of events and why they automatically denied the invite without even thinking.

He tells us more details about the situation and what's going on with their schedules and the family not accommodating to them so they're able to attend these events.

He gives even more details about his work life, sleep life, and just overall what type of layout his day is in due to the odd schedule of his work.

The comments came in quick and most of them already were siding with OP and telling him that he is not obligated to accept any sort of invitation.

This part is true too because if they did want to see them then they would make sure to do it at a time that makes sense for them or they could invite them at a different time so they can still get the time together.

Unfortunately, it does sound like they overreacted about him falling asleep and also maybe that should prove his point to them a little bit more though.

Ultimately it sounds like everyone was on the same page when it came to this situation and voting that OP was NTA especially after hearing all the details on their previous encounters.

OP actually responded to this comment and gave us some extra input on their situation and the dynamic that their family shares .

OP is not in the wrong for this, and honestly, an invite is an invite, so it's not like he was ever obligated to go. The family is going to have to understand their scheduling issues one way or another.

We hope that OP gets through this and can gain a relationship with their family members and they can get to attend some family functions.
