Not everyone was pleased with their Christmas gifts this year, but the polite thing to do is grin and bear it. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, one woman made it abundantly clear that she didn't like what her future in-laws gifted her with. They paid off her student debt, which most students would be forever grateful for. But not this woman. Instead, she faked a smile and then went off to the guest room to bawl in private - except everyone could hear her freaking out. Apparently, she would have preferred an expensive handbag instead. She clearly doesn't understand the worth of having her debt paid off. Scroll down for all the details.

    Font - AITA for calling my brothers fiancée an ungrateful bi ch? My parents (65&53) paid off everyone's (my siblings and their partners) student loan debt as a Christmas gift this year. I am very aware of how privileged I am to have parents that were able to do this for me. My parents were able to help their three children (M30, M27, F27) through college so we collectively had little student loan

    Getting student debt paid off is a dream come true.

    Font - debt compared to most. I think between the three of us they paid around 80k (and two of us have higher level degrees). My boyfriend is going through paramedic/rookie school and they're paying for the half the city he works in isn't paying. He's incredibly grateful and actually cried when he read the Christmas card.

    Font - However, my oldest brothers fiancée was actively rude and incredibly ungrateful about her gift. Keep in mind her student loan debt/credit card debt so high it became a source of contention between my brother and her because once they get married he will take on her debt. My parents have been aware and worried because right now my brother is in good

    Font - financial standing. So, they gave both my brother and his fiancée the gift of not only paying off her student loan debt (she has a Masters in education and 120k in student loan debt) but also her credit card debt as a Christmas/early Wedding gift. In total probably about 250k! Not to compare $$$ but my student loan debt was 25k and I was thrilled to not have to worry about that anymore.

    Organism - My brothers fiancée couldn't even pretend to be grateful. She kind of gave a fake smile and then went off to the guest bedroom to literally CRY ABOUT IT! Not happy tears, but "tears of disappointment". She made a massive scene and acted super sad and told my brother my parents were acting selfishly because they were worried about him and not what

    Font - would make her happy (which apparently was a particular $3,000 handbag). She claimed she wasn't worried about her student loan debt because it will probably be forgiven anyways (I doubt that) and that my brother makes enough to pay off her credit card debt himself (he makes 80k btw, she makes like 65k...not enough to comfortable get rid of over $100,000 worth of credit card debt that is growing rapidly!)

    Font - My parents were upset but kept quiet but I had enough and loudly proclaimed while she was in the next room that she was an "ungrateful little bi 'ch".

    Font - Everyone got angry at me. My brother and his fiancée left and my parents said I didn't need to escalate the situation but I can't handle anymore holidays with someone so entitled. Am I the asshole?

    Font - Oldgamerlady · 15 hr. ago Partassipant [1] NTA - It's stunning how unaware your future SIL is of the fact that your parents gave her $250,000. Never mind the fact that your brother should probably have second thoughts about marrying someone who carried $130K in credit card debt. Like, what in the actual f***, complaining about a $250,000 gift.

    Font - Alibeee64 · 15 hr. ago Partassipant [2] NTA. Holy crap, what did I just read? Her level of entitlement is through the roof! Perhaps you could have worded it better, but I'm sure you just said what everyone was thinking. I hope your brother rethinks marriage to this if for no other reason than they clearly have much woman, different financial priorities.

    Font - Ok_Pomegranate3775 · 10 hr. ago Yeah I'm with you all the way. I'm stunned. That's a quarter of a million dollars in debt they just cleared up for her and she's so ungrateful bc the man she's going to marry could've taken care of that for her. I'm.... I need a minute. NTA

    Font - Umbrella_Storm · 10 hr. ago And paying off her debts like this is not going to fix her spending problem long term. $100,000 in credit card debts? Wanting a $3,000 purse for Christmas? She's just going to charge her cards back up and they will have the same money struggles his parents were trying to solve for them.

    Font - cashycallow · 15 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [18] If I was your parents I would have cancelled that offer. She's delusional if she thinks a $3k bag is a better gift than getting rid of $250k in debt that she would otherwise be drowning in. And as a bonus, with that debt gone, she can actually build some savings and buy that $3k bag herself. NTA.
