“AITA For Calling Out Step-Family’s Dirty Laundry At Thanksgiving After They Criticized Me For Being Unmarried?”

While many people think of Thanksgiving as a time when a large family and their house guests sit down to eat wonderful food, others perceive it as a moment when the most awkward and uncomfortable moments of their life happen. And the more members of the family one has, the more likely it is that Uncle Bob will make a joke at a family member he doesn’t like or that sneaky niece will bring up the fact that Uncle John didn’t become a doctor, as was expected. And it is entirely possible that this whole mess will be initiated by one’s own family members. A prime example of this is the story told by u/throw_93758 in the AITA Reddit community, which received about 27.7K upvotes and over 2.7K comments. Quite possibly, the incident described by the Redditor could be included in textbooks as a classic example of how not to behave at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
