Most of us spend Christmas with our family and friends and it is always fun to buy gifts for our loved ones.
But one woman has shared how her father accused her of ruining their Christmas this year after he forgot to buy wrapping paper for the gifts.
Taking to Reddit, the 23-year-old woman explained that her dad always buys gifts on Christmas Eve and leaves her to wrap them in a rush.
This year, he returned home again on Christmas Even with presents for her to wrap but he forgot to buy wrapping paper, assuming that his daughter would have some left over to wrap the gifts.
“I live at home with my parents. Every year, my dad waits too long to buy his gifts and leaves the last-minute wrapping up to me,” she wrote.
“This year, I got all of my shopping done by December 3rd and bought wrapping paper according to what I needed. My dad did his shopping yesterday and asked me to wrap them.”
“When it came around to wrapping the presents he got for my mum, I realised I only had enough paper for two of them, and the other two have been put in gift bags.
“I told my dad and he said I’m an a**hole for not thinking to buy more paper, and even though my mum laughed, she was in the kitchen trying not to cry.”
Her dad then told her that it was her fault their Christmas was ruined because she did not buy enough wrapping paper.
“I felt bad, but it was 4pm on Christmas Eve in the UK. I can’t just run out and get anything, and now my dad is saying I’ve ruined her Christmas gifts by not being more thoughtful,” she added.
Reddit users were quick to defend the daughter and said that it was her dad who ‘ruined’ Christmas.
One person commented: “He could get paper when he buys the presents even if the technical side of actually wrapping them is way beyond his ability. You had enough paper to wrap 2 of them – were you meant to telepathically know how many presents he was going to get plus the sizes of them? He is lucky you had a couple of gift bags available for the others.”
Another said: “Your dad wasn’t thoughtful enough to buy her presents earlier than literally one day before Christmas and he has the audacity to have a go at you? You still have them wrapped, a gift bag is still wrapping. Tell your dad to plan better next year, he is a grown adult and needs to act like one.”
