Reddit slams woman who asked her boyfriend to leave his kids out of her family Christmas dinner

Hundreds have been unleashed on a woman after she confessed that she asked her partner not to bring their two children to Christmas dinner.

in a to post On Reddit, the girlfriend asked her if she was wrong, and she claims she made the request with everyone’s best interest in mind.

Her boyfriend did not take well to the suggestion that the children spend Christmas with their mother and accused her of ‘excluding’ them from the family.

A girlfriend caused a stir online after admitting that she asked her boyfriend to leave their two children with their mother and not bring them to their family’s Christmas dinner.

She said that she and her boyfriend have been dating for 11 months and will spend their first Christmas together with their family.

It will be only the second time that the father has met his new partner’s family, so he thought that including his children, aged seven and 11, could be “stressful” and “might not be the best idea”.

“I suggested that he let them spend Christmas with their mother while he attended my family’s Christmas alone,” he explained.

“He took offense and took it as me hiding/excluding his children from my family.”

She told him she didn’t want to “expose” the children to any “awkward moments” between him and his family on their first vacation together, as they don’t know each other very well.

“He got upset and said he felt sad for the kids at my suggestion and told me it’s his turn to have them this year and he won’t spend it away from them,” she wrote.

The father was outraged and ‘offended’ by the suggestion, accusing his partner of excluding their children, but she insists it would make everyone more ‘comfortable’

“We started arguing and he didn’t take my suggestion well. I told him it was just a suggestion, but he told me to stop trying to ‘justify’ my actions.

The woman said her boyfriend then sent her a long text about how hurt he was by the suggestion and she asked him if it was out of character.

“I was just trying to make sure he would be comfortable with my family.”

Respondents in the comments were unsympathetic to the woman saying she was wrong to imply that a father doesn’t spend Christmas with his children.

“I guess he only gets them every other Christmas, there are very few magical Christmases when your kids are young enough to enjoy them.” You shouldn’t remove them,” wrote one person.

‘Let’s not pretend that your suggestion has anything to do with your concern that he’ll be stressed about spending Christmas with your parents. It’s all about your comfort, let’s be real,” said another.

‘They have a parenting plan, it’s their turn this year to have the children for Christmas. Maybe you can spend Christmas with your family this year and go next year,” added a third.

‘This is how many parent-child relationships begin to break down. Don’t be that catalyst.
