is a truly joyful holiday spent with loved ones, eating delectable harvest dishes, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade followed by an afternoon of football, and giving thanks for all there is to be grateful for. But for many others, the day is an annual anxiety-inducing occasion in which family feuds are promised, pleasing everyone is impossible, and the hyped-up feast only results in nausea — if it can even be stomached amid the familial turmoil.
The parents-to-be didn’t show up on the Big Day, and though OP was sad, Redditors say she was not the a—hole. “Shame on your siblings for not offering to help. It’s fine to help out every once in a while but for you guys to be the cleanup squad each time? Not cool and y’all are being taken advantage,” one person said.
“…No weapons No talking about politics, survival skills, religion, spirituality, world views, sexuality, other people’s bodies or health choices, significant others, divorce, or controversial subjects not listed above. The goal is to have a peaceful holiday dinner…If people are getting upset or uncomfortable, change the subject. Inability to adhere to etiquette or appropriate behavior will result in being sent home.
There was a whole bunch of back and forth between her, her boyfriend, and one of his daughters about this plan. But again and again, they told her to come whenever she could and that there would be food for her. The SIL then gets “frustrated” with her family when they jump in. Also, Patrick doesn’t have a bedtime on holidays so he is often up until 11-12 — leaving no time for “adult conversation or fun.”
“Get an Airbnb and enjoy the holiday. If you husband doesn’t like it tell him he’s welcome to still stay with Dennis the menace if he wants to but you will not be.” One woman took to Reddit to explain the wildly unacceptable position her family put her in ahead of their Thanksgiving gathering: Requiring her to detransition to attend their meal.
“My mom is a narcissist who told me my baby was autistic because it didn’t want to look at her last time we visited,” she writes. “I’ll be with my baby, watching the 7-year-old… My husband will inevitably be ‘tired’ from working or off talking to my mom’s boyfriend about politics or something stupid and I’ll be alone.”
The man writes, “I looked at the list, looked at , looked at the list again, and said no. At this point, they’re basically asking me to cook an entire meal. I asked if they’re short on dishes because people are not coming. She answered that people are still coming but life came up and they couldn’t cook. I asked what came up but she doesn’t know. I told her if they’re coming, they can buy restaurant dishes to bring. She said I have all day to prepare and I’m cooking tomorrow anyway.
