Redditor Harrassed By Family After Refusing To Fly Across The Country For The 5th Time That Year To Celebrate Her Sister's "Surprise" Engagement

Here's the original post by a Reddit user who later deleted their account:

The sister's boyfriend planned to propose soon and wanted OP to attend the celebration.

OP got accused of "making excuses" after she refused to fly back home for the fifth time that year.

OP's family has too many expectations of her.

The family's reaction made OP doubt her decision, so she decided to consult with the Reddit community:

OP thinks she might be the a-hole for the following reason:

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to the user's post:

That's one way to shame him into paying for the trip.

Flights are not cheap and they are well aware of that.

"This makes no sense to me..."

OP doesn't have to physically be there to attend the celebration.

Some people don't even consider video chatting as an option.

"Sometimes you gotta give the folks back home a little dose of hash reality."

OP needs to visit her family even less.

The events that follow the proposal are more significant.

If they want OP there so badly, they could still offer to pay for the trip.

Time for new traditions to be made!

That should be the only option.

Setting boundaries is important, even with family.

OP should stop sacrificing her time and money for her ungrateful family.

"These folks have some strange ideas about priorities."

OP should set clear boundaries with her family and impose a little more respect than she's currently getting. Her family clearly doesn't appreciate the sacrifices she makes for them, and she should invest much less in them in the future.
