Woman Is Asking If She's TA For Getting Her Sister A Car For Christmas
She was repaying her sister and brother-in-law's extraordinary kindness to her and her husband.
Christmas is a season of love and giving. Families in Christian communities gather for this annual celebration.
It is also a time for giving back to the people who have helped you in one way or another, whether big or small, during times of financial difficulties or other life problems. In other words, it is the time to show them that their help was appreciated.
For this Reddit user u/justpissedd, the person she is giving a gift to and showing her appreciation for is not just an ordinary one. It is none other than her eldest sister, Charlie.
She elaborated that she was not close to her sister because of their 10-year age gap. Charlie was also the least favorite in the family.
OP went through financial difficulties after eloping with her husband. They were cut off from all support.
It reached the point where they lost their jobs, and they could barely afford their rent. Her parents had not communicated with her, and her other sisters advised her to marry a wealthy husband because love would not pay her bills.
However, when they were evicted from their apartment, Charlie and her husband welcomed them with open arms. They even used their savings, gave up their dream vacation, paid a year's worth of rent for them, and helped them find jobs to get back on their feet.
Now that it's Christmas, she gifted Charlie a luxury car. She comes to Reddit asking if she's TA because some family members have called her rich and accused her of not sharing after learning that she gave a car to Charlie.
Here is what OP has shared on Reddit:
via: justpisseddShe explained how Charlie and her brother-in-law helped them with everything. They used their money for a supposed romantic getaway without expecting repayment.
via: justpisseddIt's payback time!
She gifted Charlie a luxury car and her brother-in-law an all-expense-paid romantic getaway, which the couple had given up four years ago to help them. As her brother-in-law's TikTok video showcasing their gifts went viral, family members who had not reconnected for half a decade sent her messages and labeled them as stingy for being wealthy and not sharing.

Those family members are greedy.

She should ask them why they're stingy and never shared with her when they are supposed to be wealthy because of their doctor husbands.

She was merely reciprocating Charlie and her brother-in-law's kindness.

Her parents are greedy.

Her money, her choices.

Those unhelpful family members don't deserve to be in her life now.
via: ineffable_sweetness
She is sharing the fruits of her labor with people who treated her with grace and compassion during leaner times.

It's tough to make choices.

There is no need to give it a second thought.

Clearly, she's not TA here. There is nothing wrong with showing gratitude to those who readily extended their help when she struggled financially.
The help Charlie and her brother-in-law provided was even beyond ordinary, and they did not expect anything in return. They are her true family.
