Our thoughtful gift-giver had planned a surprise weekend getaway for their family as a Christmas present, confirming everyone’s availability months in advance. However, just three weeks before the trip, their sister decides she’d rather attend a friend’s 21st birthday party and asks to reschedule the entire trip, including hotel, theatre show, and transportation.

Now, our gift-giver is left wondering if they’re in the wrong for refusing to reschedule and being upset with their sister’s demands. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation…
