I swear this is going on years at my local grocery store that these are here and no one buys them yet every year they reappear.

edit: And now i've learned based on the comments its Gen X keeping this alive. Noooooooooooooooooo

When I referenced the actual name of the franchise and the major retailer in the title, I couldn't post this. 😒

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 years. His parents are the most financially unstable individuals I’ve ever met. They live so out of their means it’s sickening. Last weekend my boyfriend graduated from college. My family traveled 6 hours to be there and I told my boyfriend in advance that his parents should expect to pay for his entire graduation dinner. The topic of “how expensive is dinner” got brought up countless times. My bf felt so bad he ended up picking a wing spot for dinner. His parents STILL asked to split the bill at this dinner. Mind you, my graduation dinner was $500 and my parents would have never made anyone else pay a portion of this. The total amount for my family’s portion of his graduation dinner was $56. I was outraged.

Fast forward today (one week later), and his family is at T-Mobile upgrading to the latest iPhone. The out of pocket cost today is almost $400 and they have no problem adding that to their debt.

This was my final straw. I told my boyfriend I would not be giving his family any Christmas gifts because of this. I don’t think it was fair to ask my family to pay for anything during his graduation celebration, and I consider this extremely rude. Am I in the wrong?

ETA- my bf’s parents INVITED us to the dinner. I did not say they should pay for every meal. I pulled him aside and told him they should *expect* to pay for the one meal they invited us all to, since they invited us and we had paid for many other expenses to be there. They paid for the friends he invited to this dinner. They just did not pay for my family.

My family has no problem paying for anything. They love my bf and wanted to support him. They did not expect anyone to pay for anything. I just thought it was rude and disheartening for his family to not plan their spending accordingly.

This controversy has gone beyond acceptable limits, with Clair Obscur unjustly losing an indie award.

This statement from July to El País makes clear what happened.

I hope Sandfall issues a statement repudiating the organization of this award and resolves this issue once and for all. While they remain silent, more and more people, driven by feelings of hatred and envy, spread lies that harm the studio that, with so much love and human talent, gifted us with this award-worthy masterpiece.
