The elderly couple, known for hosting a beloved Christmas breakfast tradition, faces a dilemma as their grandson’s school trouble unravels. The couple, aged 67, learns about Townes’ snack-selling escapade at school and Emaline’s racist remarks, leading to her suspension. Concerned about the gravity of the situations, the grandparents decide to withhold Christmas gifts for Merlin and Emaline. However, this decision prompts a negative reaction from Merlin, who accuses them of overstepping boundaries. Seeking opinions on Reddit’s “AITA” forum, the grandmother wonders if her actions were justified, but the online consensus labels her the “AH” (a**hole). The story sheds light on family dynamics and the challenges of navigating disciplinary issues across generations.
