Teen rejects extravagant gift from aunt. Is he ungrateful?

When it comes to gift giving, it’s the thought that counts, right? But what if that gift comes with a catch? For one teenager, receiving extravagant gifts from his wealthy aunt comes at a price. She expects him to do favors for her in return. When she gifted him a car for his birthday, he knew the expectations that came with it and decided to reject it. But now he’s being called ungrateful and an a**hole for not accepting. Is he justified in his decision or should he have just taken the gift and dealt with the consequences? This isn’t the first time his aunt has put him in this position and he’s tired of feeling guilty for not wanting to do her bidding. What do you think?
