17-year-old refuses to spend Thanksgiving with her mom and her new boyfriend, mom calls her selfish and disrespectful: 'Spending Thanksgiving with a man I barely know and his children is not my ideal scenario'

Nobody wants to spend holidays with people they hate. The holidays mean time off work, which means spending several days with nothing much to do with whoever you've chosen to spend said holiday with. If you're a kid, you usually don't have a choice about which dysfunctional relatives you spend Christmas and Thanksgiving Day with. If you're a pushover adult, you might spend your little time off work with family members who make you want to pull your hair out. But there is another way, as one teenage Redditor found out. This 17-year-old took to the site to ask whether she was wrong for rejecting spending Thanksgiving with her mom and her new boyfriend. She has an older brother who she would rather spend the holiday with and is feeling uncomfortable that this boyfriend is attempting to fill a fatherly role. As expected, her mom freaked out about this rejection.
