As a recovering addict, my family has all been super supportive. When I hosted a holiday party this year I provided hot cocoa, coffee, tea, cider, and egg nog. No one brought alcohol and everyone had a fantastic time. I think it's all in how you approach the subject of what to bring and what tone you set.

But your situation is different, I feel like. She has not mentioned anywhere that her father is attending or that anyone in the family has any issue like that or they are violent after drinks. You can't control how other people choose to spend their holiday, and a lot of people want to chill out after working endlessly the whole year.

[@charlottewalker8161]

I'm glad to see people standing up for OP in the first one. It's great to see them sticking to their boundaries - especially one with such personal trauma related. It's one night in their own home that they are hosting which is already stressful, to see that your family would be petty enough to choose alcohol and make a rival event speaks volumes. There is always New Years and Boxing Day when they can get smashed, they can go dry for one night to be together as a family.

[@jocelyntrishell]

Yeah seriously

[@clusterbungle]

Agreed, and I remember another am I the scallywag where someone wanted to host some kind of holiday meal with only vegetarian (or maybe vegan?) food and the family wasn't on board with it. The general consensus in the comments for that one was yeah YANTA because it's literally one day it's fine they can deal with it. This kinda feels the same to me. It's one day, they can have a night cap when they go home if they want, if it's impossible for them to have a good time without alcohol then they actually might have a problem

[@kash9854]

@@clusterbungleI was thinking of the same video but didn’t know for sure if I was remembering it right, so I’m glad you posted this. I agree with y’all. Meat is pretty important to a lot of people during holiday meals, a lot of them centre around meat, so if it’s reasonable for people to skip meat once for a holiday for the sake of loved ones (which was a take I agree with), it’s certainly reasonable to skip booze once.

[@ArtoriasB]

@@clusterbungleI remember that one and it pisses me off so much because why is this one she’s the scallywag for not wanting them to have booze for one night but the other isn’t for wanting them to eat vegan for one night.

[@salazarslytherin7766]

I think she was a scallywag simple because she insulted people who drink alcohol and them for hosting another party in the same day. They can have another party sure she can host a non alcoholic one fine but just like she wanted people to respect her choice of a non alcoholic party she shouldnt disrespect people who drink calling it childish and they need to grow up coz if that was the case then alcohol would be for children but it's not it's for adults

It’s a bit interesting how different Kris’ response is between a vegan meal in one of the Reddit videos and this one with alcohol. Abstinence from drinking is definitely also a belief/religious thing

[@amiritiichia7479]

As a sober person who has a serious family history of alcoholism who refuses to allow alcohol in my home, the first story really resonates with me. It's her home, and she is free to not allow that in her home. I always am very open about my rule, but I always provide fun mocktail alternatives, and I'm okay with my friends pregaming. It's a bit much for me to be around a ton of drunk people, but I understand that being sober isn't super common. I think the biggest thing with op is her wording makes her the asshole, but I don't see any issue with asking people not to bring something that you have trama associated with in your home.

[@cluckingcluck7352]

I agree. Glad you shared your opinion!

[@Eliseo-jh7dl]

Literally. Also I'm sure they can survive 1 Christmas without alcohol even though there probably going to have other days like new years eves drinking...

[@darkriku12]

They understood that, that's why they hosted the gathering elsewhere. Nowhere was any hint that they intended to drink at OP's house.

[@roadkill3881]

No it’s not her home. She has a husband it’s THEIR home. And nobody brought booze to the prudes house. They threw their own party.

[@Mohegan13]

The thing is if they are that opposed to an Xmas gathering without booze to the point the sister-in-law arranges her own, it actually makes them sound alcoholic too which just emphasises why she may want a sober Xmas in the first place. Frankly they sound a bit toxic to me. 🚩🚩 I like a drink, but if someone said they're having a booze free party/gathering my response isn't "OMG that's lame!" it's "cool, no problem." I think this is one of those AITA posts that could have done with a bit more background for clarification sake. But I certainly see no issue with having a sober gathering, particularly if the host has history with alcoholism in the family.

[@notjustanotherguy739]

No, as someone who grew up with alcoholic parents it can be *EXTREMELY* traumatizing, it is for me and it is not about controlling other people, it’s about being able to attend without having PTSD panic attacks all night. It doesn’t matter whether or not people can drink responsibly, it is triggering no matter what. And especially when you ask people not to and they don’t want to listen, that’s like being thrown right back into that abuse you suffered all over again when you as a little kid tried to tell your parents to stop drinking and they ignored you. I think people who never experienced this don’t understand, but it’s like any type of trauma. I’ve been in therapy for 17 years and I am still struggling so the least I’m asking is for people to meet me halfways. You don’t know what trauma does to a person until you’ve lived it. It breaks you.

My opinion on the 1st 1 about the no booze, I fully support. As some1 who has parents with drinking problems & a recovering borderline alcoholic I don't think she is asking too much. I'm a bit disappointed you guys think differently... I personally don't like being around a bunch of drunk people in my home, I have dealt with it in the past with some exs of mine & their friends/family. It's not fun & I don't blame them for not allowing booze.

[@elg1400]

As someone whose family struggles with a predisposition for alcoholism, it really can ruin the holiday. My boyfriends family also struggles with alcohol abuse, which has also been incredibly damaging, especially during Christmas and the grieving process. Someone is NEVER the Ahole for not wanting alcohol at a holiday, when it is like this. Think about it; alcohol was more important to them than spending time as a family at Christmas so much so that they had their own, hurting the feelings of the host, just so they could drink. Even if it wasn't her decision, it should have been acknowledged about how it has become a problem to the point where some family thinks there should be no alcohol at all! It hurts me so incredibly much that I cannot remember a family Christmas without various family members drinking too much and being loud and abrasive together. Sometimes it has ruined Christmas. I hate that this will be my memories of Christmas. They literally cannot have just one or two. Unless consumed moderately, alcohol is always divisive in a family. I feel like I'm not actually talking to my family members, I feel like I'm talking to them through a screen of drug-like belligerence, and the words their saying aren't actually them but it hurts just like it is. They don't pay attention when it comes to enjoying opening gifts, they say horrible things, they're loud, and they're, in short, not themselves at all. I drink extremely moderately, and I enjoy have a cocktail as much as the next person, so I'm not a tea-totaler, but I would gladly never have another drink again if I got to have just one non-alcohol family Christmas!!! If you can't control yourself when it comes to how much you drink or what you say/do when you drink, for the sake of your family and friends and yourself, just don't!!!!

[@BoringTroublemaker]

I think it’s perfectly fine to not want alcohol at a family gathering that you are hosting but if you are going to impose that rule it’s probably best not to condescendingly and self-righteously insult everyone before they even show up.

My family is generally a party of 9 at Christmas dinner. Last year 2 of us were sober, so we had a mostly dry Christmas (split one special bottle of wine between everyone else). It is HARD to be sober, especially when the whole family is drinking. You mentioned that skipping Christmas is a whole year of no drinking.... FALSE, it is one day. Throw a New Years party with alcohol, do a Christmas Eve with alcohol... Just don't punish the people trying to enjoy an unintoxicated family gathering.

For the first one, if it’s your house they should have no problem following your rules. They are mad because they are being called out for their behavior. People who have problems with not being able to drink and literally can’t have fun without drinking have issues they need to deal with.

[@lakewoodln1060]

But they did follow her rules tho? I cannot fathom how people don't see the utter entitlement and scallywag behaviour of the OP. She's throwing a tantrum and calling people childish and immature because they choose not to go through life completely dry like her, then wonders why no one wants to come to her party? Why is everyone so intent on seeing the rest of the family as the bad ones? They literally respected her decision and politely chose not to attend her party instead, even going as far as to invite her to the other party just so she didn't feel lonely and excluded, yet she's still got some bone to pick with them. Am I the only crazy one to see it as incredibly entitled and bratty to expect people to come to your party when they don't want to?

@@lakewoodln1060 they actually didn’t follow her rules because they ended up not going to the party at all, and they went to the pseudo-party that the sister had thrown, and that was the entire argument towards the end of the post because of the fact that she was upset that her husband’s family would much rather go to an entire alternative party, as opposed to just spending one night without drinking… she’s also been through a lot of trauma when it comes to drinking so I can see how stuff like that kind of triggers her in a way and plus if you’re drinking almost every single day I think that’s more of an issue then whether or not, she’s the asshole

[@lakewoodln1060]

@@bxarbianaa I agree with you about the fact that there seems to be some trauma related to drinking in her life, which, as heartless as it may seem to say this, she needs to address and overcome on her own. No one else is responsible for her traumas and it's unfair for her to assume that everyone is going to end up acting like her drunken father did when she was a kid. Also, I agree that people who drink every day do have a problem that they need to work on as well, that's unhealthy behaviour. What I don't agree with is that it's somehow uncalled for to choose to go to someone else's party, regardless of the reason. The fact that people can't see that OP is being an absolute child about this whole situation, trying to control people's choices and calling them immature and childish for choosing to go to another party and drink and celebrate at someone else's house instead of hers is absolutely mind-blowing to me. The way I see it, she's just using the trauma card as a way to garner sympathy, no one else is responsible to give up a certain part of their usual Christmas celebrations because she has traumas that she needs to work on. Idk, I could be wrong about this but so far, no one has made a compelling enough argument in my opinion, she's a grown-ass adult, not a child. She needs to learn to take rejection graciously, not go on reddit and bash her whole family.

Hey guys! I wanted to give my thoughts on the roadtrip/bathroom break problem as someone on the younger side. My family goes on long road trips all the time, and our policy is that whenever we fully stop, pretty much everyone goes to the bathroom even if they don't feel like it so that there doesn't need to be a ton of irregular stops. From what I gathered in the reading, it kind of sounds like the driver tried to get off at an exit pretty soon after she told him she needed to go right then, but some places won't have an available exit for like 10-15 minutes of driving. I think that the 13 year old was more in the wrong than the driver, because she wouldn't lose anything from going while at the stop, while needing to stop soon after can put you like 20-30 minutes behind on the whole drive. Love your content, and the community! :)

[@carmeltabby]

I'm one of 4 daughters (31 atm) and same here. We would go on long car trips to visit my mother's parents every few years and it was not optional to say "I don't need to go" when we stopped for bathroom breaks. My dad knew we'd have to stop again soon if we didn't all go then. The daughter was 13. I'm with the dad in saying it was dumb not to use the bathroom when she had the opportunity. Especially because of highways like the 401 that don't have exits very close together all the time.

[@inkymon0]

I agree, when I was younger I had a weak bladder but we always went on roadtrips often to visit grandparents. My mom always forced me to go to the bathroom even if I didn’t need to go and it worked. The parents just need to control their kid😐

[@Arlari.c]

I kind of agree. I agree that she definitely should’ve tried because you never know, but I have had those times where I’ve tried to use the bathroom and nothing comes out, then 30-40 mins later I’ll have to piss really bad.

I also have lived in a few places in Canada (specifically Vancouver) where McDonald's is pricier than the U.S. and still could never spend that much on just myself and I'm not a small person. That's a lot for one person, especially if you're taking someone else's money to do it. You can "borrow" for a snack, not a full on buffet.

[@rebeccachurch5795]

I thought $35 was a lot as well, in this economy! That’s nearly $50 🥺 As an American who buys the meals for my family, $20 is a lot for one person. That said, the mother had no right to call her fat and I am sorry op was going through a breakup.

[@lashehatch7359]

For the 1st story, I disagree. As someone who grew up with family that were alcoholics, things can be pretty traumatic. I personally don't avoid alcohol, but I can completely understand not wanting to be around it in your own home. The way she talks about her situation, it sounds like everyone knew about her dislike for alcohol. She didn't control what they did at their own homes. She only tried in her house. They knew it was her year to throw the party for a year and could have touched on the topic at any time prior. This sounds more like disregarding someone's trauma than undermining all the work they have put into planning for a party. OP, not the scallywag, just a crabby patty in the way she spoke about her dislikes.

[@ember13dp]

Yep, her house! I think she should have told them earlier that if she's hosting, there's no alcohol, and so they could have decided "ok someone else host"

[@zebedeesummers4413]

regardless someone else is hosting and she is upset about it. I think it is entirely reasonable to choose what is allowed in your home but it is not reasonable to dictate what is allowed on a holiday, especially if there is a standing expectation or tradition. Offering to host and not mentioning that something is banned is WILD to me, almost feels like intentional drama The trauma is important but that is hers not theirs. I have trauma to and if it'll come up I tell people I don't just assume they'll figure it out.

[@lashehatch7359]

I took that OP was upset since she had gone out of her way to plan everything already for said event. So, she was mad that they didn't appreciate her boundaries in her own home and also wasted her time and money. It didn't sound like OPs opinion of no alcohol in her house was a new thing either. That is how I took it anyway. If OP hasn't spent money on the holiday yet and someone else offers to host, I would still understand hurt feelings. However, that is all I would understand if that was the case.

It’s funny how the first story is so similar to that one other story where the vegan girl wanted a vegan only dinner, but the reactions were opposite. For the vegan girl they said “suck it up, it’s just one night” and for this story they said “Just because you don’t drink doesn’t mean you take it away from others.” And “at least let them bring their own alcohol” 😂 the irony

[@JG-il3gp]

I was thinking that too

[@caseybergdahl]

With the first one I agree with her, and her husband is wrong. It's her party, it's her choice and house rules. It would be different if she went to the Aunts house and told them they couldn't drink. People don't understand the trauma that can come from alcohol/alcoholics. My cousin had a dry wedding because her husband was a past alcoholic and everyone was very considerate. I feel bad for that lady, she's invited to my Christmas 😤

[@darkriku12]

Well yes, that's why they made a separate party in order to do it elsewhere where they wouldn't be intruding on her house rules. And that's why they still included her.

[@poecraven]

Well, I agree with you, and this is one of the few times I diagree with Kris. It is her house and her party. If someone is exepcted to be fine eathing vegan food at a vegan dinner and afterwoards go get their meat if they want, then the same can be done with booze. Go, have a fun, sober time with your family and then meet up afterwards at a bar or someones house for drinds. Like an afterparty. It's not that hard, shows respect to the hostess (your brothers wife by the way) and she has put up with your boozing for years. If you're not a bunch of alcoholics, you will survive a couple of hours or on night of sobriety.

[@singingwolf8997]

@@darkriku12 But see, in doing that they basically just showed that they care more about booze than family. Instead of just respecting OP's wishes in her own home and having a nice, fun Christmas without alcohol, they decided to say "Who gives a shit about your trauma? We want a buzz!" and set up a retaliation party so they could still get drunk. And inviting her anyway just feels like a slap in the face. They don't respect her one bit.

[@1africanlily]

I completely agree. It’s her turn to host and she has every right to say she doesn’t want alcohol in her home. Them creating a separate party at the same time is disrespectful. Why can’t they go to hers on the original day and have another gathering with alcohol on a separate day for those who want it?

[@deziiluv]

​@darkriku12 except they basically took over her Christmas. It sounds like everyone was going there INSTEAD of hers n not both. As to the "making my husband spend Christmas at home alone with me" implies. The correct way wouldve been go there for dinner and THEN the sisters after to drink. Sounds like they value drinking more than just good old quality family time together. I don't drink n honestly I understand. She wanted ONE Christmas were she could bond with them without them being piss drunk n her feeling left out. When ur the ONLY one not drinking, u feel pressured n left out.

[@hazley5404]

I think the no alcohol one was completely valid. It’s her house, her party, and it is childish to not be able to have a good time without alcohol. It’s one night, be with your family and for goodness sakes be present if life is that hard without alcohol I’d rethink your life choices

[@PlantBasedLaughter]

For the first story, the sister is defintiely the scallywag all she had to do was throw the party on a different night. As someone who is sober as well as seen the affect of being the solely sober person at a party, she is totally reasonable for not wanting alcohol at her party. If anything, it sounds like her decision has never been respected by her husband or his family.

[@JCole78]

I was thinking the same. I also completely get where she’s coming from as well. My SIL and her husband will show up to the birthday parties for nieces and nephews who are children with alcohol. My house is an alcohol free house for religious reasons, and for me that’s the end of it. Alcohol is just like smoking if you’re at someone’s house that doesn’t allow it in their home you don’t do it, and it doesn’t make you a skullywag for having such rules for your own home.

[@SetiSupreme]

you only get one Christmas in a year and it's a children's holiday so the very least you can do in my book is to abstain from alcohol for that day. It doesn't belong in Christmas at all. I have seen sooo much fighting and ruined Christmases for soooo many children that it's ridiculous. And trust me when I say this: Your kids can sense if you have taken even one teaspoon of rum and they are afraid of the change it brings in people. Wow. Please do not drink on Christmas if you have kids.

[@Garbox80]

I really think there's a problem when people can't have ONE day without alcohol. And it's Christmas, it's supposed to be a day for the kids first and foremost (of course for adults too, food etc., but there's no need to get inebriated). Or maybe they can't be in same space with each other if they're sober 😂. And for the record, I'm not against alcohol per se, I sometimes drink myself.

[@dietotaku]

thank you, i was really gobsmacked by kris' response, especially since she basically said the exact opposite about the vegan who wouldn't let anyone bring meat to the family dinner she was hosting. i'm also teetotal and i really think it proves OP's point about the childishness of alcohol that the family bailed on her to get sloshed at another party as well as all the quippy comments about "the grinch who stole boozemas" and "OP's dreaming of a quaker christmas." then again, being sober has never been respected in this country, to the point that the last time we had legally-mandated sobriety society was just like "FINE, I'LL MURDER PEOPLE UNTIL YOU LET ME DRINK."

[@sadmac356]

I'm kinda "everyone sucks here" about that. I completely understand her being uncomfortable with it, but she didn't have to be so judgemental about it. The sister could've had her gathering on another day, choosing to have it the same day seems like she's being petty

[@liamnehren1054]

That money pot thing sounds like a great idea... maybe have a little log book beside it with signatures so that each child gets a little consciousness prick if they are taking more then their siblings but still good idea.

Grats to Jessica and George*!! Didn't know she had her little one! (assuming that's what you meant, I could be completely wrong lol) Edit* Also, the first story, I must respectfully decline. She is not the scallywag. As someone who has a long history of being exposed to alcohol abuse, trauma, anxiety etc etc brought upon by alcohol, requesting a no alcohol holiday at My Place, seems perfectly reasonable. The other party could have hosted another event on another night. Sometimes it isn't about whether or not the host drinks. It's about all of the trauma that alcohol can bring up. Drunk people in general leave me with SO much anxiety, so I fully empathize with the poor host.

[@pyretta138-3]

Alternatively, maybe the family does have an alcohol problem if they can't handle not having booze 1 holiday and need to have an alternate gathering just for their precious drinks

[@darkriku12]

Sometimes people can only get together once a year and that's the only time they can let loose being around kids and other responsibilities all the time. Getting drunk once a year does not equate to alcoholism. It's just being human.

[@zebedeesummers4413]

right, but as someone who doesn't drink traditions do matter to me. It is fine if she doesn't want them to bring booze to her place but if they were not expecting having her host to change what would be served I understand not wanting to go anymore.

idk I think it's a culture thing (culture within a family I mean). This woman fully and completely wants to hamper the vibe.

When the topic was forcing people to eat vegan, they were not in the wrong but with not allowing alcohol for one day, they are in the wrong. It almost feels like a double standard, especially since the trauma that comes from alcoholism can be very deep compared to veganism (which I do have a lot of respect for) isn't usually born from trauma.

Even if you don't feel it your bladder is still full, so my parents say if you didn't go when you had the chance then you have to wait until we stop again, My grandpa used to say never pass up the opportunity to pee, and that's the rule we've lived by since I was a tiny child.

Kinda weird. Another story you read was about a vegan hosting some party, where everyone had to be vegan for the night. Then it was ok and the family should just deal with it. But now with the alcohol story the hostess is the scallywag? I think it's very much reasonable to ask for a party without alcohol. And the sister hosting a different party was actually really scummy.

[@JessehNotBovverd]

Hmm, to me it’s a little different. The vegan party was due to that person’s ethical reasons for not wanting to handle or cook meat because it went against her beliefs. I think in this situation, if it had been that the person herself had been an alcoholic or had issues around alcohol, it would have been similar - however, it came across more judgy saying she simply thought everyone was childish wanting alcohol to have fun. I agree the sister in law was also the scallywag for planning an alternate party, but I don’t agree this can be compared to the vegan hosting a party.

[@pencilandpaper8438]

I was stopped by the same thought. Maybe Kris’ pov is biased because when we feel we’ve shared an experience with someone else, we also feel they should experience it the same way we do. I for one totally understand becoming really anxious around people who are drinking, and while it isn’t personal I do feel less safe around those people. The OP was effectively talking about one event, that would have lasted at most one day *in her own home that there be no drinking. The immediate response even from her own husband was not only completely disrespectful but just genuinely unkind. Especially with the lack of context the OP provides I’m frankly quite disappointed that she responded as she did, it doesn’t seem very consistent with other values Kris has expressed… I know many people for example who will not have drinking in their home because it goes against their religion : so if OP had said instead, ‘spiritually, I don’t want the evils of alcohol in my home’ I’m guessing they might have responded differently….

[@Njcoqui67]

A person who strongly feels they shouldn't have alcohol at her event because of her father being a drunk? There might be some underlying trauma there. Maybe her dad was a mean drunk. Not everyone shares openly with their past. Plus if you can't go one family gathering without the need for a drink, then they are devoid of personalities. I agree that their attitude about this topic was disappointing.

​​@@Njcoqui67I don't care what kind of drunk her father was, it's not a valid excuse to be that condescending about the topic. It's not her decision that's awful, it's the way she talks about her in-laws. If she talks that way *to* them, she should be grateful she's allowed at Christmas

When I was a teen, a family friend took me to Florida to babysit her toddler. I went and watched that kid all day every day because it was winter in New England and I loved every second of that sweet sweet Florida sunshine.

I don't allow alcohol in my house either like OP in the first story. I don't think she was being an asshole at all by asking for a dry holiday party. Not allowing people to drink in my house saves me the trouble of throwing them out when they inevitably start acting stupid. The SIL on the other hand is ABSOLUTELY being an asshole by scheduling her party on the same night specifically so that they can drink. I'd probably also tell hubby to go to that party and just find someone there to spend the night with.😤
