Woman Calls Out Men Who Feel Entitled To Do Nothing During Christmas

Christmas is one of the coziest and warmest holidays of the year. Families come together, gifts are passed around, the table is full of comforting food, and the festive atmosphere brings it all together. It’s no wonder so many people look forward to it.

But that kind of celebration doesn’t come together on its own. Making Christmas feel special usually takes effort from everyone involved, and over the years, one woman has grown increasingly frustrated with her father-in-law’s refusal to contribute anything at all. He doesn’t help with cooking or picking out presents, yet never misses a chance to criticize what he doesn’t like.

Tired of his entitled behavior, she took to the internet to vent and ask whether anyone else deals with a male relative like this. Read the full story below.

    I'm a Visual Editor for Bored Panda. I’m also an analog collage artist. My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.
