    A few months ago, my siblings and I planned a big surprise party for my parents' 30th anniversary. I was covering the majority of the costs because I'm in a better financial position. Invitations were sent, catering was booked, and everything was set.

    I immediately canceled the entire party, letting my siblings know why. They're furious with our parents but think canceling was too extreme since "the party wasn't just for them — it was for the whole family." My parents are devastated and calling me selfish, saying I ruined their milestone. AITAH? -

    Canceling the party was a chef's kiss-level power move. Why throw a party for people who think your husband's job is beneath them? They should've celebrated their milestone with the dignity they apparently think they have.

    If they're devastated, maybe they can cry into their snobby champagne and reflect on how trashy their behavior really is. You didn't ruin their milestone...they did.

    Your mom's comments about not wanting him at the party because of his job show a lack of respect and understanding, and it's commendable that you stood up for him
