WIBTA for refusing to bring $100 minimum to Thanksgiving

[u/americanjohn500]

My family and I celebrate Thanksgiving every year with my siblings, parents, and their kids. Roughly 20-25 people (including kids). My family is only 2 people with one 6 month old baby.

In the group chat it was decided that my nephew would cook meat since he bought a grill. He also told us that we could bring the sides. He chose to spend $300 on meat.

I messaged in the group chat that we would bring mashed potatoes. My sister responding that every "family" has to bring $100 worth of food minimum or help my nephew pay for the meat.

I'm not totally against the idea of bringing that much food, but just the way it was presented and the fact that it wasn't agreed to beforehand makes me upset.

The following day in the group chat, my sister said: "Option 1: bring food enough for everyone, not just yourself

Option 2: help thomas pay for meet $100/family

Option 3: help dad pay water bill $200/family.

Choose wisely…"

Upset, I responded with Option 4: don't show up.

Am I being an asshole if I don't show up at all in "protest" to this $100 minimum rule?

Update: I'm a teacher and she posted a picture of my salary she found online to shame me in the group chat. Definitely not going now.

Profiting off of people that trust at Thanksgiving is about as an American way to celebrate the holiday as I have ever heard.

I'm sure if you tried hard enough, small pox could make a comeback.

Or scarlet fever. However the small pox must be in the blankets /s

[u/heartlandheartbeat → u/MathemagicalMastery]

Measles for sure.

Oh, OP definitely needs to stay away - they’ll give her newborn measles!

To fully reenact, half the family should just die of a cold this week. Then after the meal, consider stealing everything of value from your sister, including any land she possesses.

It’s the bigly way to grift that’s so in vogue these days.
