So bitter they are

They expect your family to go big on Christmas because they are there? Are these relatives from abroad or just here? Maybe they should help shoulder with expenses and not expect you to do it all. Or maybe they discussed it before hand rather than discussing it now that it was a year over

Unfortunately, some people, family, friends, and relatives included, are not content and have no sense of appreciation. If they have specific preferences, then maybe they should have brought something with them. The fact that you welcomed them into your home and gave them the best that you can should be appreciated. Worry not my friend, this incident speaks more about their values and morals than yours. I am not worried about cutting out toxic and negative people in my life, no matter who they may be. I once cut my brother from my life and he realized his mistakes and apologized. Took us 2 years but those were peaceful 2 years for me. You have a responsibility to take care of your well-being, so if that means cutting them off, then I don't think nobody will think badly of you for it. I imagine this is not the only negativity that they tried to throw on you?

They had come with such expectations on their trip - that's pretty nervy of the guests. If they are that ungrateful, then right - they are no longer welcome.

Oh you are right!!! If they are ungrateful, they should not come back!! Hihi Me too I am avoiding those kinds of people. Whether they are family or friends, I can write them off anytime hihi

I understand that feeling, I too don't like that kind of behaviour of relatives,better not to come in my home then,haha. Instead of saying thank you or appreciation you will listen complain.Then oh,definitely feel bad.

Don't they know earning is hard even harder in the middle of pandemic. You don't have any duty to fancy them. They should be grateful for food and bed. If they don't like it, let them be... Toxic people never seen their own mistakes

I agree with you. If they weren't satisfied all they needed to do is not come back. Should not have to be bothered.

Pandemic or not, people should be grateful. Especially when they don't have to spend a single cents. They're already lucky that host provide the best for them. They shouldn't ask for it. Just because they're related by blood, they don't have to be rude about it. Those concept, 'we say this because we're related to you' don't exist for me.

Ah...yes, the old fashioned folks. We have plenty of them here.

Perhaps they were thinking that they were staying in a hotel that they can demand what they want because they have to pay for it :)

Oh, my! That is not a grateful and nice relative. I wouldn´t want them to go back if I were you. What were they expecting to have for the Christmas meal?

They shouldn't expect so much during these days because things are still tough
