I paid for my ungrateful parents’ vacation — they keep texting to complain about it

A woman sent her parents on a nearly all-expenses-paid trip — but hasn’t received so much as a thank you.

Instead, she has been bombarded with text messages brimming with complaints about how expensive their meals are, despite not having paid for airfare, lodging or a rental car during their stay in Kauai.

Taking to the Facebook forum “Am I The A**hole?” the anonymous woman explained that she booked the trip for her parents “as a thank you basically for my mom helping me so much with all of my kids when I had my 4th baby.”

“I lined it up so it would be 5 days during their 36th wedding anniversary,” she continued, adding that she and her husband footed the bill for the plane tickets, hotel and rental car.

“All I’ve pretty much heard from them is how expensive their food is,” she wrote. “Not a thank you or even an appreciate or positive remark.”

She accompanied her lamenting with a screenshot of a text message between her and her parents, who sent a photo of their meal total — $104.31 — along with the shocked face emoji.

“Quit your complaining you’re in paradise on a free vacation,” their daughter hit back.

In response, her parents complained that their “cheapest” meal was still $40, with most ranging between $50 to $60 on the tropical island.

“Ok then noted I’ll send you to Arkansas for your next trip,” the woman quipped.

On Facebook, she asked if she was being too harsh on her parents for “being so irritated” after receiving constant complaints — especially, she noted in the comments, when her father makes “well over 100k a year” — but users quickly jumped to her defense, calling her parents “entitled.”

“I literally can’t imagine receiving such a nice gift and doing nothing but complaining about it,” wrote one person who declared her “NTA,” or “not the a–hole.” “If they were going to be that concerned you’d think they’d look some things up about food cost and stuff beforehand and politely decline if they didn’t want to spend that money.”

“That is a lovely thing you’ve done for your parents and I’m sorry they can’t seem to appreciate it. I felt embarrassed on their behalf reading these texts, but I love your responses,” wrote another viewer. “Send them a screen shot of the definition of ‘ungrateful’ if they carry on.”

“I would be so mad,” one person simply stated.

“I suggest they hit up a grocery store and make some damn PB&J’s,” offered another.

Some people, however, urged the woman to “go easy” on her parents and not “make such a big deal out of it.”

“It’s really hard for people to spend money lavishly when they aren’t used to it,” commented one person. “I think they are showing to you to show you that it’s a good establishment, much better than what they are used to, it’s giving them bragging rights for when they go back to their friends.”

Others also voiced alternative responses for the woman to use should her parents keep up their complaining.

“When something like this happens to me, I write, ‘You said “thank you” wrong.’ and just leave it,” wrote one person.
