'My husband refused to speak to our child on Christmas Day for the pettiest reason'

It's the most wonderful time of the year, but sometimes family feuds do occur, even on December 25. One woman was left miffed after her husband chose to ignore one of their children on Christmas Day, all because they didn't adhere to his "shower rules". The woman said that she was "upset" and "stressed" that he was being so vigilant, even on a day when families often opt to put their differences aside to try and make it the most magical day possible. The mum of two explained that their kids are 25 and 21, and her husband refused to "host or entertain" them "because one of them hasn't had a shower for two days".
The stressed mum took to Mumsnet to say that she didn't agree with the petty reason her husband ignored their kids, saying that how often they shower is their "business," and they shouldn't get involved with it for no reason. She wrote: "I say it's their business and we should have a good Christmas. The one that hasn't showered still lives with us, and the older one is visiting with a partner. I'm trying to manage the situation, but I'm upset and stressed that he wants to impose his 'rules' on Christmas Day".
In a later update, she clarified what she meant by he was refusing to host them, sharing: "When I say host/entertain, what I mean is they are here at our house, but he’s staying away from them and not being friendly.". In the comments, people were divided, with some saying that if the younger one was "stinky," they could understand why he'd be a bit irritated.
