Mom forces 24-year-old daughter to choose between her and her BF on Christmas: 'I don't want to lose my boyfriend's respect'

It's the holiday season once again! Families around the world will gather together to celebrate. Maybe you look forward to these holiday parties yourself! Walking into a warm cozy home full of smiling faces, gifts for all, and plenty of delicious food is the start to a great holiday. 

However, once you start seriously dating someone, you realize that you'll have to choose where to spend the holidays. Everyone has a different approach to this: some continue to go to their respective parent's homes, while others split the time between both families. Others alternate years, spending one year at one partner's home, then the other at the other person's family house. It can take some time to work out the best choice, though. As much as you want to spend time together as a couple, it can be awkward to spend Christmas with a big family that you barely know. It makes you feel like you're missing out on your own family's special day. 

This woman, u/nenynexi, is going through that right now. She's trying to figure out how to spend the holidays with both her BF and her family, but her parents are flipping out over it. You can read her story, as well as the advice people gave to her, down below. 

After that, read about an "astounding IT meltdown" that occurred when one employee accidentally caused an avalanche of 600,000 emails.
