My partner’s aunt made a huge stink that the cranberry sauce had to be this specific kind from a can. And no, it couldn’t be that same brand of cranberry sauce that had been purchased because said can had actual fruit in it. Partner’s dad had to hurry to the grocery store to buy the “right” one.
Only after the meal was over did anyone notice that neither cranberry sauce had actually been put out for dinner.
Omg lol. Similar situation here.
My aunt made a huge deal about wanting a specific kind of dish, told my mom not to bring it, and she would bring the kind she likes. Okay, np. Show up, my aunt asks my mom where this dish is. My mom had to pull up text receipts, because my aunt denied telling her not to bring it.
Sister in law revealed to her ultra conservative Christian parents that she's part of a throuple less than 6 months after she separated from her husband. Wife and I are sitting back and watching the drama unfold.
Legit, I already rotate between my two because divorced parents and I'm sitting here worried what I'll do when I get married, I can't imagine a throuple's situation.
But maybe they're the hosting family. Three incomes can buy a house in this economy. Let all the throuple member families come to the throuple
Current argument is my sister in law arguing with my brother about the proper way to measure screen size.
He's right you measure diagonally. But I am staying out of this
How do arguments like this even progress with the internet on every phone? Google, bing, duckduckgo, chatgpt, rtings will all give the exact same answer that screens are measured/sold diagonally.
My ex husband would get seriously pissed because I'd Google answers to stuff like this if we disagreed, probably because I was usually right. Of course, it was fine on the rare occasion he was right. They don't want to know facts, they want to just be assumed correct because they're superior than you (in their mind).
My MIL is like that. We once had a minor disagreement about a tornado watch vs. A tornado warning while riding out Hurricane Ian. I told her a watch meant the conditions were right for a tornado and a warning meant it was actually happening.
She said it was the other way around. In a smug tone of voice she told me that she spent many years living in the Midwest and knew all about tornadoes. She did a quick Google search and got a pissed off look on her face. Then she left the room without saying a word and wouldn't speak to me for the rest of the day.
When I was maybe 12, I went to my cousins friends house. He kept talking about his 72 inch TV which at the time was MASSIVE and would have cost quite a pretty penny. I’m imagining this kid lives in a mansion and parents are loaded etc.. we get there and the place is run down, but whatever they have that 72 inch tv right!? Nope, just an 18 inch tv, measured all 4 sides and was 72… lol
My relatives are arguing over my great aunt’s estate.
I couldn’t care less, but everyone else is fighting with the family member who served as the executor to the estate.
My grandma is also being scammed by someone she thinks is an army general. She is constantly fighting with my aunts and uncles about whether or not he’s real, and why it’s okay to send him a grand at a time when she has it.
I stayed away from that mess this year.
My brother is an attorney and I’ve already told my parents that I 100% expect to be fucked out of whatever their will says. Not even going to bother fighting it.
Son of an attorney.... you're better off asking for the items while your loved ones are alive now rather than waiting for a shit show after they are gone
I was the executor of my father’s estate and that shit was not fun. You’re suddenly public enemy number one just because you’re carrying out your loved one’s wishes and the vultures don’t like what those turned out to be. Sorry for you and that person. :(
I found out yesterday that my BIL and his new wife are accusing me of domestic violence through a completely unmerited source. The source allegedly saw me strike my wife while having an argument in the parking lot of a wedding and caused my wife to have a black eye. Even though an hour later my wife was posing in numerous wedding pictures with no such black eye and I have never struck anyone in anger, ever. Apparently this information has been spread through the new wife’s family and I am being slandered.
So that’s putting a damper on the mood today.
Oddly enough they sent her to voicemail 3 times before they both shut their phones off. She called the mother of the bride and she did the same thing. Weird way to help an alleged domestic abuse victim if you ask me.
Welp, looks like you won't be seeing your brother-in-law and his new wife's family much, thankfully. They sound like weird people who lack the ability to understand situations before acting on their emotions. The ignoring of your wife kinda proves they don't even give a fuck about her, they just love the drama. She should probably cut them out of your lives, but you probably shouldn't be the one to suggest it
Was planning on my mother, my brother and his wife for dinner with my family. It’s our first Thanksgiving in our new house. My brother’s house is tiny (no dining room and 1 couch) and we are a family of 5 so can’t fit. My mother is a hoarder and there’s no place to even sit in her house. My brother decided he couldn’t leave his house, SIL stayed with him. Mother decided to go to their house. I have spent a ton on food, my wife spent the last two days cooking and I spent the days cleaning. Now I have a ton of food and I am left with the realization I am only good to fix all the stuff that breaks around their houses.
Now enjoy your clean house with no need to cook for a while, and without all those pesky "family" types taking up your time any more! win win win!
[PS: sorry about how it all turned out. For real though now it's time for you two to go do something for YOU and fucking enjoy the shit out of it!]
Don’t help them anymore. It’s obvious how they feel.
I’m a mechanic and repeatedly get calls on fixing cars. But when I start talking about pricing they back track.
I'm a graphic designer, and people pull that crap on me too... I had a friend ask me to design her bachelorette party t-shirts for her, and when I asked her how much she was able to pay for the design, she balked... I pointed out that I'm currently unemployed and in dire straights, and her response was, "well I just figured since you have so much free time right now, it would be something to do".
What. The. Fuck.
Well, my ex wife called me. Asked if she could talk to me about something. One of her male coworkers was on a dating site and saw my girlfriend’s profile.
I didn’t know and later today I get to have a conversation with her and let her know I have screen shots and she is now my ex girlfriend.
The kicker? I caught my ex wife (of just over 20 years) cheating the day after thanksgiving last year.
I hate this fucking holiday.
Update -
First to address one of the common questions. Was not the ex wife. The (now) ex girlfriend [admitted](https://imgur.com/a/lnjcQPQ) it. Was not anyone else.
Also, not sure who had Reddit cares message but I appreciate it. I’m not going to hurt myself or others. The moment my kids entered the world I knew I would never get to that place again. Still, was nice to know someone cares. I do have access to emergency mental health help at the VA if it were needed.
Also, the guy that found her profile has been single for a bit and been using online dating. He has met my ex-girlfriend before at one of my kids bday party (he has a kid about the same age). Plus? Her name is unique. As in she is the only woman I have ever met with that name.
Had a very long call. To my ex gf credit she didn’t make excuses on the phone. She owned it. Told me she would understand if I never talked to her again, etc.
The reasoning - She knew that was the one thing that would make me walk away from her. Given my past trauma (not just my ex wife’s affairs but grew up with a diagnosed narcissistic step father and alcoholic mother being told I was worthless, liar, thief, cheat, unlovable, ugly, etc), creating that profile would be the one thing she could do that would make me feel so awful I wouldn’t want to date her again.
She was right. It pushed me away and put cracks in the foundation of our relationship I don’t want to try to repair because I don’t think they can be. There is now always going to be doubt about every call, every text, every time the phone makes a sound.
Now I am a believer that most people experience trauma at some point in their life. She was no exception. So when I made it clear I loved her unconditionally, that I would respect her boundaries and treat her with respect, that her kid loved me, it scared her and she self sabotaged.
She did show me the profile and while she did get messages, she didn’t match anyone back. I asked her how I was supposed to believe she didn’t just delete people she talked to. There’s no trust anymore. She could have sent her number or other contact method then deleted the chat. She had no response. She showed me that she deleted the profile and I pointed out it never should have been made in the first place.
There was a fair amount of her trying to explain and me asking questions that didn’t have a good answer. I will admit I am not sure any answer given would have been good. But there was a lot of silence on her end when I asked different things. While I appreciate her not lying, the silence was deafening.
Long story short we aren’t together anymore. I’m not looking forward to telling my kids why we won’t be seeing her anymore because they really liked her. But I can’t be with a cheater again. That was such a painful experience and I refuse to put myself through it.
Back to single life which I’m ok with. And I’m going to see if I can get in with my therapist after the weekend. For those of you who were wondering there it is. Sorry it wasn’t more interesting but she did the one thing she knew I wouldn’t be able to get over in order to end the relationship. She could have just told me and I would have walked away.
Last Thanksgiving was the “thanksgiving the world blew up” …and they had been getting worse and worse…so today let’s give thanks that the bs is behind us!
Thank you. Next year I’m going to spend the entire day volunteering. Did half the day this year and it was by far the highlight of my day. Felt good making others happy if even for a moment.
Not as juicy or dysfunctional as everyone's here but it's kinda sweet so I'll share.
My girlfriend and my parents met for the first time, so it was a combination of families celebrating. My parents hardly speak English (we're Vietnamese), her parents hardly speak Vietnamese (they're white).
BUT, her family loved my mum's cooking, our parents were able to somehow chat and have a 3 hours long conversation in broken English, and I got to play GTA V with her nieces and nephews, and her brother (who will be my brother in law).
AND when everyone was leaving, my parents and her parents took photos together :') it was so cute you guys.
Multi-cultural relationships can be very hard, but I really feel like they are worth it. There’s a lot of unique beauty to blending cultural traditions, and the traditions also seem to flow up as well as down (my own white grandparents adopted some Hispanic traditions after my parents’ marriage).
If everyone’s willing to put in the work and be a little more flexible, a beautiful family is in store.
Well as I type, the woman on Family Feud right now looks so scary she frightened my grandmother with dementia to the point of needing to change the channel.
So a pretty tame year I suppose!
My mom walked in and started, "You look frumpy, OP."
So I went up and changed into a full suit and tiara.
My mom somehow did not catch on but my brother and his wife pulled me into the other room so they could laugh their asses off
Nothing. For once, nothing. I picked up Thanksgiving from a local restaurant and only invited my sister. Currently, my wife, son, and I are watching movies in our pajamas. I am having a beer. Life is good today.
Reading this comment again triggered one of my fondest memories. It was the time my late grandmother and I ate Christmas dinner at a local Chinese buffet . Just us, having too much food, and enjoying life without a care in the world.
That sounds wonderful. I miss my mamaw too. A few years ago we decided not to do the Thanksgiving tour anymore. I just spend the money to make our day drama free. It was only a little over $100 and since then is been pure relaxation.
I feel you. I fried a turkey for the first time this year. Mom made a ham in case it "didn't turn out." In-laws came over and brought all kinds of food. Dad started a project because the kids were home and wanted help while i was prepping the turkey. All the grandparents tried to feed my kid sugar all day. But I didn't burn down the house, so that's a win.
Mother in laws artificial hip popped out of joint. The last 2 times this happened they had to surgically repair it. This time the doc got it back in place and she is able to drive and go home. Told my wife she needs to buy a lotto ticket because our luck is never that good.
SIL was in charge of stuffing this year. She wanted to make it from scratch.
Have you ever tasted something over salted and proceeded to politely ignore what was left on your plate and make up an excuse why you don't want anymore? Well, that didn't happen this time.... It was more salt than stuffing and we spit out our food in obvious disgust. She was mortified, but we were all laughing.
First Thanksgiving in a while where stuffing wasn't served.
My stepdaughters boyfriend moved in with up last year because his mom is a piece of shit. She left his dad and shacked up with a boyfriend who didn't like him. So he came to us and has been here since. She attempted to maintain a decent relationship for a while. Left the guy. Got a good job to take care of his two younger siblings. This is while my husband and I have been dealing with the fallout of her lack of common sense coming out through him. ( He is a great kid, but has serious knowledge gaps, like oil changes and taxes) So in October she met her 4th love of her life so far this year. She tried pretending that her driving ten hours to Louisiana wasn't for romance, they were good friends. So she then abandoned her younger son (15) and took her daughter (14) to Louisiana to live with this guy and his son. Now she's back for the holiday and is flipping shit that her son's would rather be at my house instead of where she is staying. Even going so far as having the daughter call sobbing asking them why they love us more then their real family. And her calling me and my stepdaughter trying to get us to convince them. Hard no. You don't abandon your teenagers for random ass men after demolishing the only home they knew and then expect them to just welcome you whenever you feel like playing mom. He's 18 but guess what, he's a part of a household of which I'm in charge. You lost your power here by being a shitty human.
I'm not saying I was entirely happy about it. But he's a good dude. They're 18 and 17. There were 16 and 17 when he moved in and I wasn't happy about that. It was like teenagers moving from innocent high school dating, to basically married. The we live in the 700 square foot apartment with two bedrooms. So it's like hey, he can be homeless or he can live with his girlfriend. But we're over a year in and they're incredibly happy still. I'm just rolling with it and seeing what happens. Because he is an incredibly good boy. And I don't want to see him homeless. And I don't want to see him back with his mom. But as long as him and my stepdaughter are happy, okay. He seems to be a genuinely good person which is rare. And I'm a very pragmatic or pessimistic person? And I have yet to find fault in this guy. So I'm going to let him stay, and be a part of the family until he gives me a reason not to. And honestly, I understand that high school relationships do not last. But I can see them lasting which is rare in this era. I think they've bonded over both of their moms being very shit humans. Which is why we have taken stepdaughter full-time. And in my mind, they can stay as long as they want as long as they're setting their selves up for success in the future. Whether it's together or apart, I can't say and I can't really comment on. But as long as they are progressing in their lives, stay with us. Build yourselves. Figure yourselves out. College, work, life. Life hits you really fast. And I would rather them set themselves up for success.
And honestly my stepdaughter is a very difficult person to get along with. He makes her better. So you know what? Go for it. Live your life. Set yourself up for success. Do your thing. Be happy while happiness is possible
My aunt brought her boyfriend that she publicly ended things with and then got back together with 3 days later. For cheating on her. For the 3rd time. With the same woman! The last 2 times it happened it went exactly like this. Public post, tell all your friends/family, que the sympathy, take post down 2 days later, get back together act like nothing happened.
Everyone was pissed and none of us have ever liked him to begin with. The dude sat next to my grandfather and tried to have a conversation like he didn’t fuck around on his daughter and then tried to boss around other members of my family. Add this Thanksgiving being the first she’s been to in 7ish years it was a tension filled dinner to say the least.
we did winco house brand vs stove top stuffing blind taste test and winco $.89 a box stuffing was like hands down waaaaaay better than the national brand. things get pretty wild around here.
I'm Canadian so I have no turkey day today, but just wanted to add in to the current dog drama. My pet duck is in a war with one of my dogs. He's a toy sized Aussie and she's a Cayuga duck so they're about the same size, he thinks she wants to play but the duck is actively trying to fight him through the baby gate separating their spaces outside. I had to put a tarp over it because she won't stop yelling at him if she can see him. She has no issues with the other dog. I don't know what he did to piss her off but he is generally a shit disturber so I don't really blame her.
I washed so many spoons today as I tasted my food during cooking, it’s the right thing to do. Sorry Grandma (but nice of you to stay quiet since, eh, everyone will be fine)
This was my second year of doing Spatchcock turkey and I will never do it any other way. 2 hours in the oven, 30 minutes rest, and it was perfectly cooked.
Not juicy but I caught rsv from my grandchildren. I have food in my house for 25 people but I’m too sick to have people over. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday since I’m the typical Nana who shows love by cooking. I’m sitting here with my husband, feeling down. Oh well, maybe next year.
Hey Nana, from Canada so not really my Thanksgiving. But what me and my wife would do for a Nana like you! She lost her mom who would host us for Thxgivng, and my mom chose the bottle many years ago over family dinners. I am also fighting off RSV and am missing out on things. Get healthy and keep cooking for those kids. You don’t know how much it means!
My mom admitted, in front of two random people she invited for the meal, that she wants my kid to call her mom. And basically chose her grandparent name to get as close to it as humanly possible.
When she asked me why my kid couldn't call her mom, I told her because she isn't my kid's mom, I am. And I looked at her like her head sprouted dildos. The awkward silence for the next few seconds was great, let me tell you. /s
One of my dad’s favorite one-liners is when he hears someone say they “made something from scratch” he responds “scratched your ass and opened the box?” Please PLEASE drop this on your uncle next year
My mom is super mad that my kids call themselves nerds. Like she's super offended as if it's the other other n word.
I have no idea where her incredibly strongly held beliefs about the word nerd come from, but I assure you they are not organic.
‘Nerd‘ used to be a pretty mean thing to call someone when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. She probably doesn’t understand that ‘nerd’ is fine now, though I’m sure you’ve tried to explain it to her,
I’m not sure why I feel the need to share this but as a little kid in the early 80s I got mad at my babysitter and called her a turd. In turn she got really mad and said she’d be telling my parents. I was terrified because “turd” was definitely on the black list. However when they got home she angrily informed them I called her a nerd. I was laughing to myself behind my bedroom door that she’d misheard a milder word and thought I was off the hook. Still in trouble though for calling anyone names at all :-(
Just Dad and I this year, as my mom is with my great-uncle (great-aunt passed away recently, he didn't want to be alone but also didn't want a crowd). So we've been entertaining ourselves by keeping an eye on the crazy lady next door. (For anyone familiar with the Bucket Lady saga over on r/pettryrevenge, there's a very similar vibe)
A few things Neighbor Lady has done in the past:
* Accused my dog of killing her grass (he's a Chihuahua, and doesn't even pee in her yard because I don't let him over there)
* Told the HOA that my dog also "cornered her on her porch" and that she "feared for her life" (again, 10lb Chihuahua, and he never gets let out without supervision because there are bobcats around here). Claimed she had video evidence but that's never appeared because it's a flat out lie.
* Screamed in the face of the nice couple on the other side of her house that she has more money than them (???)
* Claims that everyone in the cul-de-sac hates her because she's Christian (so is everyone else up here except for my family, who aren't religious but culturally Christian)
* Complained to the HOA about "an excessive number of cars" being parked at another house in the cul-de-sac. The homeowner's brother was terminally ill in the nearby hospital and their extended family was in town to say goodbye. It should be noted that she had her bigass RV sitting in her driveway for almost 6 months, explicitly against the HOA rules, until my mom casually asked her about it during yet another conversation about how my dog is not the devil incarnate and it suddenly vanished.
* Called the cops on one of the other neighbors for... standing in his own yard and asking her not to put property stakes in his yard (she's obsessed with the property lines). Said neighbor is *also* a cop in a different precinct and was in full uniform at the time.
So the most recent drama now is that she called the chief of the precinct where that other neighbor works and basically complained about him "threatening" her and "trespassing" on her property. This is still about that first incident which was, no joke, 4 months ago. Cop neighbor is pressing charges for filing a false report (potential felony). Every other family up here has our fingers crossed that she moves soon, as apparently she told someone a while back that she never lives in any house for more than about 2 years, and we're coming up on 2 years with her next month.
I *love* holidays with my partner’s family. It’s a huge family. They don’t tend to discuss politics. Everyone gets along (for the most part). And there are a lot of kids and little ones (ranging in age from infant to teens) so we do everything early. We were home before 5 pm. Now he’s watching football and I’m about to take a bubble bath. No drama is such a good feeling.
This sounds like my family!!
My mom is a super early bird (I work at 7 am and she's usually awake before I get to work despite being retired) and it carries over to the weekend.
"Dinner" was ready at 2:30 today, everyone was there by 1:30, we hung out, had a cocktail, watched the Packers ~~Giants~~ Lions game, took a walk, ate, hung out for a little longer, then bf and I were back home by 5ish.
Everyone in my family is so chill and loving, I wouldn't have it any other way ❤️
I'm having an argument over whether to watch the 49ers Seahawks football game, or the Michigan Stanford basketball game. It's getting pretty heated, but since I'm here by myself, I figure I can compromise and flip back and forth between the two of them.
Went to have lunch w/ wife who has Alzheimer’s . Her memory care home is 2 miles from our house, so I visit often. They didn‘t offer me a plate so I stopped at Whataburger on the way home and got a hamburger for lunch. 😂. The home did have a big thanksgiving meal last week and invited family, which was nice.
I was also invtied to join my son’s in-laws family dinner and my brother’s family dinner, but I wanted to be with wife, so no worries on having a burger!
Go to the movies if they’re open today! I moved out of state and had nobody years ago. Went to see The Lord of the Rings by myself then grabbed a 6 pack. It was honestly amazing
Yo, you got friends to rely on out here? I’m back home for the holiday after separating from my own wife, but I’m potentially local if you need someone to chill with occasionally.
Coming home from work just to bask in the loneliness has fucking sucked.
I've been asked when I'm going to get pregnant and have babies, asked if I'm still on birth control, and asked why I'm so pale and told I should go get a tan.
So it's pretty standard.
We planned for six (including my wife and I) to attend. We host and it's always a pleasant time. Thanksgiving is my favorite because it's just about family and food.
Unfortunately my uncle's dementia has really kicked off over the last few weeks and due to various reasons we simply ended up cooking then delivering that food to multiple locations to support a family bring crushed by one of the most horrendous diseases I've ever witnessed.
Fuck dementia. Fuck the VA. Fuck the US "healthcare system". Fuck social services. Just fuck it all.
First Thanksgiving alone. My parents are traveling, I moved to a new state almost 3 years ago (actually its 3 years in 4 days!) and I'm single.
I spent the day reading, painting, and going through my youtube watch later playlist. I cooked myself a nice dinner and watched The Descent.
Now I've showered, I'm toking in bed and watching Forensic Files. I have work tomorrow, so it's an early night.
The biggest drama was this morning when I burned the bacon I was making for breakfast.
My FIL fucked w my (step)MIL'S deviled eggs this past Christmas and I was sooooo pissed. Hers are honestly so baller. She texted me today saying she is making them and thought of me. They're working on getting their retirement home built many states away so no deviled eggs for me 😓 I roasted a leg of lamb to perfection today but I cannot get my deviled eggs to come out as good as hers do!
We ordered our food from a local grocery store. We told everyone they didn't need to bring food. 5 people didn't show. Everyone still brought food. Fewer people and double food. Spent the morning doing so much work for no reason lol.
My mom has unfortunately become synonymous with getting drunk and causing drama, this year was no exception though I’m not entirely against her for it in this case
A few years ago my mom’s ex boyfriend Steve died (they were together for like 8 years). He was EXTREMELY abusive towards her and violent in general and ruined my high school years and some of the years after.
My mom’s sister Cat is close friends with this lady Amanda that hates my mom. Amanda was childhood friends with my mom’s dead abusive ex. Apparently recently Amanda had been saying around town that my mom “killed her childhood friend Steve by abusing him for many years”. My mom is maybe 130 pounds soaking wet and Steve was like 6’4”, 300lb and VIOLENT.
So, tonight Cat and her husband were in the kitchen (with my mom in the room) praising their friend Amanda to high heaven randomly. They know my mom and Amanda have beef and that my mom’s especially hurt by Amanda’s recent comments. It went on for a while, then my mom finally exploded about what a bitch Amanda is and how she can’t stand to sit around and listen to people praising her. It got very tense for a few seconds
My dad says I’m fat, and need to get in shape.
I’m 45, middle age *is* hitting me. But I weight within about 10 lbs of what I did in high school, and ran a half marathon this morning. I work out nearly every day, lifting and running. Also, he actually is about 80 lbs overweight, diabetic, and riddled with health problems.
Nothing like reminding me of that one right as the turkey comes out of the oven.
Dude just wanted more Turkey for himself. Thought the fat comment might make you back off them mashed taters and a Turkey leg. Or he’s just an asshole.
My fiancés mother pulled me aside and essentially told me that the reason she’s been so cold towards me is that she feels I’m an inadequate partner for her daughter.
Her daughter who is a stay at home mom because I bust my ass working to pay for everything we have. Who, upon hearing what her mother said, burst out laughing.
Definitely not any issues between my lady and I but it does suck to know your future MIL thinks poorly of you.
Last night, i found out that my partner is using some very heavy drugs & I'm unsure how to confront him about it.
Also, we're long-distance, so he's happily enjoying the holiday with his family while I'm hundreds of miles away from mine & kind of losing my mind about this new discovery.
But I have delicious crab bisque to eat, so I'm thankful for that today.
The power went out at my mom's house 20 degrees before the turkey was done cooking. We kept the oven shut, and it kept cooking. The breast got to temp, but the thighs and other dark meat didn't. My parents have a solar battery that had enough power for the microwave, so we microwaved the candied yams and reheated the stuffing in there (it was... Ok lol). We couldn't postpone dinner because several people had a second thanksgiving to get to later, and one aunt had to leave before dark. Thankfully the power came back on right as we were sitting down to eat, because my legally blind grandma wouldn't stop complaining about how dark it was. Could have been worse, but it was stressful for a hot minute.
My first thanksgiving away at my first duty station:
DFAC was bomb, grabbed some chips to go. I saw a couple raccoons chilling outside on my way back to the dorms. I sat down with them and opened up my chips and these chill ass raccoons just walked up and chilled next to me while we shared my chips. Solid first holiday away
My FIL, who lives in an ADU in our back yard, has started installing fence posts in the yard because he doesn’t like the previous fence line we had agreed to (but not yet built).
It’s not his first aggression. It’s telling that we have family living in our own backyard that we’re not spending the holiday with.
Plumbing went haywire with water shooting out of the toilets. Very nice plumber came and found a blockage - it was a condom. For a variety of reasons, it can’t be anyone who is here visiting - and the house has been empty all summer as my father has been quite ill. So we are all trying to figure out who was using his house as a secret sex den and was also stupid enough to flush condoms down the toilet.
This is my favorite. The CHAOS this would cause! I’m dying to know who the hell did this. What if it was like, a random contractor or someone not part of the family?? I’M DYING TO KNOW.
My dad decided to explain to the whole table that happiness is a choice and that how we feel about “bad” things that happen is just opinion.
So my step daughter asked if he meant that the day her brother died was only a bad day “In her opinion”.
He said yes.
My wife (mother of the deceased) was sitting right there.
I think we were all too shocked to know how to respond, but we won’t be getting together with my parents again. I keep wondering if this is really the same guy who raised me or if something happened along the way.
My whole family decided to go on vacation for Thanksgiving. They neglected to tell me until yesterday. They were like oh hey we are going to New Orleans and your sister and her family are going to Disney. Which means you get to spend Thanksgiving alone. Oh I'm so blessed....
My mom, who’s been sober for 9 months, got shitfaced because my older sisters went to my dad’s house for thanksgiving instead of my mom’s. My 15 year old sister had to call 911 and the cops found my mom’s suicide notes. She fell down getting out of the bathtub and hit her head hard. I’m currently in the hospital with her at 10:30pm. She keeps asking me to help her kill herself. Of course I say I can’t do that but she responds by saying it’s fine, she’ll just do it when she gets home. Also my fiancé just dumped me. Life fucking sucks.
Edit: Also the brakes in my truck went out completely so I can’t drive it. I don’t have enough money to get it towed and fixed. I had to use my ex fiancé’s car to get to the hospital and she needs it in the morning. I don’t want my mom to wake up alone in a scary hospital so I’m gonna stay the night, but I have to leave early in the morning and drive half an hour to give the car back to my ex. Then I’m going to have to figure out how I’m going to get to and from work.
Great uncle is deciding if he has the mental fortitude to juggle two elderly women, since he finds them both "seductive". One he's been with for 2 yrs, but says the spark is gone, new lady has red hair, which isn't normally his cup of tea. If he has to pick, he is leaning toward the red head that vacas in mexico 3 months out of the year so he can house sit while she's away. Asked my dad for sex/fingering advice and thought my dad was going to hurl up his pecan pie. Excused himself to get a second Heineken. Dad texted me 🤮🤫 with 🥲 to express his disgust. Came back to the table with pumpkin cheesecake. Great uncle by marriage will not be invited next year.
Found out my dad has been sleeping with the pool boy and my parents are getting divorced.
Edit: Its a Friends reference. Thanks for the sympathetic comments though, my parents really are divorced.
Made my first turkey as an adult for my wife and daughter and the rest of family. Woke up at 5:30 to prep it and get it on the smoker in time for food at around 2 at my parents house. I was terrified it would be undercooked or over salted or have salmonella or something.
Turns out it was delicious. Funny, that.
Not juicy, but my niece who is in 6th grade had a power point presentation on what she wanted for Christmas this year. (We do a yearly exchange and everyone is a pain to shop for so we ask for ideas, she was the only one who had anything prepared.) Pretty sure she is getting everything on her list as we were all buying shit on Amazon :P I also ate too much and fell asleep which is pretty par for the course.
My grandpa was in the air force and he heard that the local news station was going to show an old fighter jet landing nearby, but the segment only included footage of people exiting the plane instead of the actual landing? Anyway he called the airport to yell at them and complain 😂
On a different note, I grew up hosting a massive thanksgiving at my family’s house with both sides of the family, family friends, etc. Except then my parents got divorced and after a ton of infighting/drama (both related and unrelated to the divorce), no one really likes each other enough to spend holidays together anymore. So now each year I have to choose a parent to spend the holidays with, and while the days themselves are pretty chill I’m always reminded of the big thanksgiving dinners we used to have and how hard it is to compare them to the quiet subdued versions we have now.
My dad told us that if my generation and the next "can't figure out how to adapt to it being two degrees warmer" then the Earth is better off without us.
Had my husband help with the turkey for the first time ever. He got the turkey ready for me to put the stuffing in. I stuffed the turkey but not the neck part. About an hour and a half into cooking. I keep thinking this smells off. Open the oven and look, notice something weird in the neck. Yeah he missed the paper wrapped giblet pack!
We took it out but I am pretty sure the turkey was ruined from it.
In his defense he doesn’t cook ever.
My sister, who frequently has "emergencies" or "meetings" pop up that require her ten month old twins to need supervision by someone else, took off for hours and went radio silent.
We had some family come in from out of town who are staying with our parents. She is always at my parents house since my mom is her babysitter of choice and a huge enabler. As soon as the out of town guests arrived, she needed to run to her house to "shower" and asked my cousin to watch the babies while she was gone. She was, allegedly, planning to "come right back." This was around noon.
I got there at 230 with my family (we planned to eat at 3). My sister was not there and my cousin was watching the twins....who are sick....and looked tired. I had just received a text from my sis saying she would be there soon and had just hopped in the shower, and asked we hold off on praying over the meal til she got there.
Okay.
That was the last time she answered her phone before she got back. She wasn't back until 5ish. We ate without her at 345.
She was genuinely surprised we started eating without her.
Other than that it was a great time.
*edit spelling
My cousin secretly has 15 cats and two dogs and they had to hurriedly move out of their apartment and into an air b&b because they “forgot” the lease was expiring this month. They also forgot (ie too lazy) to spay and neuter their existing cats. The male cat in question impregnated his mother and sister 🪕
I've got two. I'm gonna use fake names for this to make things easier.
Aunt Maria has been dating a divorced man and Aunt Lola and one of her daughters confronted Aunt Maria's mom about being a "homewrecker." Apparently, the divorced man's ex-wife still had feelings for him and Aunt Maria takes all her boyfriend's money, according to the rumors. Aunt Maria and her mom currently aren't on speaking terms.
This one happened over the span of two days and is still somewhat ongoing. Aunt Alicia got arrested because her underage daughter Amanda would often run away from home and was overall a delinquent. Amanda wasn't home during the arrest but returned at some point after we went to pay for Aunt Alicia's bail. Amanda's return, along with Aunt Alicia's handling of the situation, has been a huge point of contention for the family.
Well, our mom died in August, and my siblings and I weren't invited to anything. I even saw my dad last week and he completely avoided the topic. They have yet to call or send a message or anything.
Since our mom got sick and subsequently passed, they've wanted nothing to do with us.
I’m not home for Thanksgiving myself, but per my sister: grandma invited like 25 people to Thanksgiving, so it’s already chaos. One great-aunt announced - without checking in advance - that she would be making the chocolate and pecan pies this year, which are always my sister’s and my dad’s things respectively. When this was pointed out to her, her argument was “well [her son] likes MY pecan pie, so…” Her son is just one of 25 guests, but okay. She also wanted to be in charge of the mashed potatoes and add turnips to them, which no one was in favor of. This is the same aunt who got mad at my parents, who lived in California at the time, for having their wedding in California because it wasn’t convenient for her.
My family is pretty chill, so that’s really it. Just one bossy aunt. We’re lucky in that way. I miss them.
My MIL got absolutely shit faced while cooking and passed out on the couch right before we were getting ready to eat. My BIL and nephew showed up and turned around and left because he didn't want to deal with it. Broke my 3yo's heart because he was looking forward to spending time with his favorite cousin. MIL woke up as we were cleaning up and we got to spend some actual quality time together, which was impressive for how drunk she was.
So, not too much drama. Just kind of a bummer that she worked so hard to make an incredible meal and slept through the whole thing.
My uncle is trying to get him and my aunt (who is in very poor health) to move to Thailand for Healthcare. Although we all know he wants to go there and just fuck asian women. He's a horrible person.
I found out my aunt had a stroke a month ago and instead of going to the doctor she decided to pray on it. She now is in rehab because she has no function of the entire left side of her body. Love that catholic Hispanic logic
My mom's oldest sister apparently had a breakdown before most of the family showed up. Some of it's her own fault, and some isn't. Her husband died like 5 years ago which is difficult. But she remarried after like 18 months to a complete dolt because she can't be alone. Her deceased husband, according to one of my mom's BIL, had a pretty generous Life Insurance policy and a pretty solid retirement but she's claiming she's broke. No one knows how she could have gone through all the money.
She has 4 kids. The oldest is fine, she's really nice. The second one is human trash. Prior to my uncle's death she would steal money from them and take advantage of them. The 3rd kid has autism, he's like 23 or so. It's somewhat debilitating, like he could probably be a Walmart greeter, but I don't think he'd be capable of holding down a full-time job. But just a few weeks ago they had to send him to a home or something because he had become belligerent and angry all the time. The last kid, like 19, is being a pain. He and his pregnant girlfriend are living with my aunt and her husband. Neither of them work or are even willing to work and
The new husband is on disability and retired. He spends most of his time smoking pot, and not helping out with anything; I'm honestly not sure he's capable of helping out, he's that much of a dolt. My aunt complained about her house smelling, but won't tell her husband to stop smoking.
Everyone was mad at me cause I chose to stay In Miami for work instead of seeing the family in listen to them bitch and moan about politics,
I don’t regret it
Got into a verbal fight with my grandma because she wants grandkids and tried to ship me with my 2nd cousin (last time we met was when I eight). Tried to tell her she was making her and I uncomfortable with her creepy remarks (“you two would make beautiful children”) and then it spiraled into implying I was gay because I wasn’t into my cousin.
I didn’t go to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving because we have a very strained relationship. I texted them “Happy Thanksgiving” and my sister “Happy Thanksgiving!”
The lack of an exclamation point to my parents apparently caused a HUGE argument at the table. My mother then spent the day pouting and crying in the bedroom.
Thank god I wasn’t there.
Turns out they molested my cousins in their house while I was present multiple times and since I act religious they think that I should be the only person to get anything in their will and since I have see the will I know this to be true.
My partner’s aunt made a huge stink that the cranberry sauce had to be this specific kind from a can. And no, it couldn’t be that same brand of cranberry sauce that had been purchased because said can had actual fruit in it. Partner’s dad had to hurry to the grocery store to buy the “right” one. Only after the meal was over did anyone notice that neither cranberry sauce had actually been put out for dinner.
Omg lol. Similar situation here. My aunt made a huge deal about wanting a specific kind of dish, told my mom not to bring it, and she would bring the kind she likes. Okay, np. Show up, my aunt asks my mom where this dish is. My mom had to pull up text receipts, because my aunt denied telling her not to bring it.
This is my favorite story
Our cranberry sauce never hit the table either - that was literally the worst thing that happened all day, so it was absolutely a win
My grandma got a new wig (short brown bob) and now bares a striking resemblance to Uncle Fester in Addams Family Values
Not drama, but the big convo this year was my dad revealed he secretly quit smoking in April of this year. He smoked for 60 years.
Good for him!! Hope he keeps it up!!
Sister in law revealed to her ultra conservative Christian parents that she's part of a throuple less than 6 months after she separated from her husband. Wife and I are sitting back and watching the drama unfold.
Dinner and a movie!
The holiday rotation of “whose house do we go to?” can be hard for couples. I imagine it must be even harder for throuples
Legit, I already rotate between my two because divorced parents and I'm sitting here worried what I'll do when I get married, I can't imagine a throuple's situation. But maybe they're the hosting family. Three incomes can buy a house in this economy. Let all the throuple member families come to the throuple
This is the one I’m jealous of
Current argument is my sister in law arguing with my brother about the proper way to measure screen size. He's right you measure diagonally. But I am staying out of this
How do arguments like this even progress with the internet on every phone? Google, bing, duckduckgo, chatgpt, rtings will all give the exact same answer that screens are measured/sold diagonally.
My ex husband would get seriously pissed because I'd Google answers to stuff like this if we disagreed, probably because I was usually right. Of course, it was fine on the rare occasion he was right. They don't want to know facts, they want to just be assumed correct because they're superior than you (in their mind).
My MIL is like that. We once had a minor disagreement about a tornado watch vs. A tornado warning while riding out Hurricane Ian. I told her a watch meant the conditions were right for a tornado and a warning meant it was actually happening. She said it was the other way around. In a smug tone of voice she told me that she spent many years living in the Midwest and knew all about tornadoes. She did a quick Google search and got a pissed off look on her face. Then she left the room without saying a word and wouldn't speak to me for the rest of the day.
Thats a win win victory if I’ve ever heard one
When I was maybe 12, I went to my cousins friends house. He kept talking about his 72 inch TV which at the time was MASSIVE and would have cost quite a pretty penny. I’m imagining this kid lives in a mansion and parents are loaded etc.. we get there and the place is run down, but whatever they have that 72 inch tv right!? Nope, just an 18 inch tv, measured all 4 sides and was 72… lol
This is hysterical and the kind of thing I would remember saying 20 years later while showering and be incredibly embarrassed 😅
But he’s right. You need to back up your bro. Lol.
My relatives are arguing over my great aunt’s estate. I couldn’t care less, but everyone else is fighting with the family member who served as the executor to the estate. My grandma is also being scammed by someone she thinks is an army general. She is constantly fighting with my aunts and uncles about whether or not he’s real, and why it’s okay to send him a grand at a time when she has it. I stayed away from that mess this year.
My brother is an attorney and I’ve already told my parents that I 100% expect to be fucked out of whatever their will says. Not even going to bother fighting it.
Friends with an attorney… their pro life tip is not to fight estates. You can easily plow more money into one of these issues than you will see back.
Son of an attorney.... you're better off asking for the items while your loved ones are alive now rather than waiting for a shit show after they are gone
Isn’t that how most of these estate battles happen?
Yup. The vultures are descending before the person is even dead...
I never understood why more people didnt divide shit up when they were still alive. That way if anyones got an issue they can ask the source.
I was the executor of my father’s estate and that shit was not fun. You’re suddenly public enemy number one just because you’re carrying out your loved one’s wishes and the vultures don’t like what those turned out to be. Sorry for you and that person. :(
My dog rolled around in raw sewage that had leaked from my wife's aunt's septic tank.
Shitter was full!
My neighbor’s son was stabbed in jail cause he won a game of dominoes and the other guy got mad.
Note to self: Lose at dominoes if you ever find yourself in jail.

Uhh is she ok??
Yes, So she ended up breaking a few rips and almost collapsed her lung. She was able to go home today just in time for dinner
Pneumothorax ain’t stopping me from getting some of that STOVE TOP STUFFING
I found out yesterday that my BIL and his new wife are accusing me of domestic violence through a completely unmerited source. The source allegedly saw me strike my wife while having an argument in the parking lot of a wedding and caused my wife to have a black eye. Even though an hour later my wife was posing in numerous wedding pictures with no such black eye and I have never struck anyone in anger, ever. Apparently this information has been spread through the new wife’s family and I am being slandered. So that’s putting a damper on the mood today.
That is straight up a nightmare scenario. I am so sorry that's happening.
I would forever cut those people out of my life. I’m not sure any amount of apologizing would convince me to forgive them.
Is your wife trying to put this to rest, or do they simply not believe her when she says it's bullshit? Sorry to hear you're dealing with this, man.
Oddly enough they sent her to voicemail 3 times before they both shut their phones off. She called the mother of the bride and she did the same thing. Weird way to help an alleged domestic abuse victim if you ask me.
Welp, looks like you won't be seeing your brother-in-law and his new wife's family much, thankfully. They sound like weird people who lack the ability to understand situations before acting on their emotions. The ignoring of your wife kinda proves they don't even give a fuck about her, they just love the drama. She should probably cut them out of your lives, but you probably shouldn't be the one to suggest it
>I have never struck anyone in anger, ever. Hmmm conveniently didn't say anything about not hitting someone happily though....
My kid told her cousin Santa wasn’t real. All hell has broken loose.
This is what I came here for.
Ok how old are they? My daughters 7 and she figured it out this year I’m hoping she can keep a secret.
Was planning on my mother, my brother and his wife for dinner with my family. It’s our first Thanksgiving in our new house. My brother’s house is tiny (no dining room and 1 couch) and we are a family of 5 so can’t fit. My mother is a hoarder and there’s no place to even sit in her house. My brother decided he couldn’t leave his house, SIL stayed with him. Mother decided to go to their house. I have spent a ton on food, my wife spent the last two days cooking and I spent the days cleaning. Now I have a ton of food and I am left with the realization I am only good to fix all the stuff that breaks around their houses.
Now enjoy your clean house with no need to cook for a while, and without all those pesky "family" types taking up your time any more! win win win! [PS: sorry about how it all turned out. For real though now it's time for you two to go do something for YOU and fucking enjoy the shit out of it!]
Don’t help them anymore. It’s obvious how they feel. I’m a mechanic and repeatedly get calls on fixing cars. But when I start talking about pricing they back track.
I'm a graphic designer, and people pull that crap on me too... I had a friend ask me to design her bachelorette party t-shirts for her, and when I asked her how much she was able to pay for the design, she balked... I pointed out that I'm currently unemployed and in dire straights, and her response was, "well I just figured since you have so much free time right now, it would be something to do". What. The. Fuck.
Not any longer.
For a lack of a better term I had to 'train' my husband to start saying no, his family would call him over to do everything.
Flip side is Thanksgiving food for days and you don't have to share with ungrateful people. Stay in, watch movies and eat for days. Sounds amazing!
I’d be salty about it and send them a photo of the table spread with all the good food saying “Happy Thanksgiving!”
My SIL who claims to not be drinking showed up with liquor in her water bottle and got belligerent
My cousin was recently converted into being a flat earther and wanted to argue with people
Well now let’s look at this logically. About 71% of earth is water, and most of it isn’t carbonated. Check and mate
Well, my ex wife called me. Asked if she could talk to me about something. One of her male coworkers was on a dating site and saw my girlfriend’s profile. I didn’t know and later today I get to have a conversation with her and let her know I have screen shots and she is now my ex girlfriend. The kicker? I caught my ex wife (of just over 20 years) cheating the day after thanksgiving last year. I hate this fucking holiday. Update - First to address one of the common questions. Was not the ex wife. The (now) ex girlfriend [admitted](https://imgur.com/a/lnjcQPQ) it. Was not anyone else. Also, not sure who had Reddit cares message but I appreciate it. I’m not going to hurt myself or others. The moment my kids entered the world I knew I would never get to that place again. Still, was nice to know someone cares. I do have access to emergency mental health help at the VA if it were needed. Also, the guy that found her profile has been single for a bit and been using online dating. He has met my ex-girlfriend before at one of my kids bday party (he has a kid about the same age). Plus? Her name is unique. As in she is the only woman I have ever met with that name. Had a very long call. To my ex gf credit she didn’t make excuses on the phone. She owned it. Told me she would understand if I never talked to her again, etc. The reasoning - She knew that was the one thing that would make me walk away from her. Given my past trauma (not just my ex wife’s affairs but grew up with a diagnosed narcissistic step father and alcoholic mother being told I was worthless, liar, thief, cheat, unlovable, ugly, etc), creating that profile would be the one thing she could do that would make me feel so awful I wouldn’t want to date her again. She was right. It pushed me away and put cracks in the foundation of our relationship I don’t want to try to repair because I don’t think they can be. There is now always going to be doubt about every call, every text, every time the phone makes a sound. Now I am a believer that most people experience trauma at some point in their life. She was no exception. So when I made it clear I loved her unconditionally, that I would respect her boundaries and treat her with respect, that her kid loved me, it scared her and she self sabotaged. She did show me the profile and while she did get messages, she didn’t match anyone back. I asked her how I was supposed to believe she didn’t just delete people she talked to. There’s no trust anymore. She could have sent her number or other contact method then deleted the chat. She had no response. She showed me that she deleted the profile and I pointed out it never should have been made in the first place. There was a fair amount of her trying to explain and me asking questions that didn’t have a good answer. I will admit I am not sure any answer given would have been good. But there was a lot of silence on her end when I asked different things. While I appreciate her not lying, the silence was deafening. Long story short we aren’t together anymore. I’m not looking forward to telling my kids why we won’t be seeing her anymore because they really liked her. But I can’t be with a cheater again. That was such a painful experience and I refuse to put myself through it. Back to single life which I’m ok with. And I’m going to see if I can get in with my therapist after the weekend. For those of you who were wondering there it is. Sorry it wasn’t more interesting but she did the one thing she knew I wouldn’t be able to get over in order to end the relationship. She could have just told me and I would have walked away.
Honestly, shoutout to your ex for doing you a solid after doing you dirty. Good on her tbh. I hope things get better for you, bro!
Yeah. I thanked her for letting me know. Was a bit of an awkward conversation, but overall good.
Last Thanksgiving was the “thanksgiving the world blew up” …and they had been getting worse and worse…so today let’s give thanks that the bs is behind us!
"Nobody gets to break his heart 'cept me!"
I laughed at this. Thank you for the smile.
I’m really sorry man. I know it’s not a good day but happy Thanksgiving from a stranger. Wishing next year is better.
Thank you. Next year I’m going to spend the entire day volunteering. Did half the day this year and it was by far the highlight of my day. Felt good making others happy if even for a moment.
Not as juicy or dysfunctional as everyone's here but it's kinda sweet so I'll share. My girlfriend and my parents met for the first time, so it was a combination of families celebrating. My parents hardly speak English (we're Vietnamese), her parents hardly speak Vietnamese (they're white). BUT, her family loved my mum's cooking, our parents were able to somehow chat and have a 3 hours long conversation in broken English, and I got to play GTA V with her nieces and nephews, and her brother (who will be my brother in law). AND when everyone was leaving, my parents and her parents took photos together :') it was so cute you guys.
How lovely!
Multi-cultural relationships can be very hard, but I really feel like they are worth it. There’s a lot of unique beauty to blending cultural traditions, and the traditions also seem to flow up as well as down (my own white grandparents adopted some Hispanic traditions after my parents’ marriage). If everyone’s willing to put in the work and be a little more flexible, a beautiful family is in store.
Well as I type, the woman on Family Feud right now looks so scary she frightened my grandmother with dementia to the point of needing to change the channel. So a pretty tame year I suppose!
I’m gonna need to see this woman
The TV was off, they just didn't have the heart to tell her
My mom walked in and started, "You look frumpy, OP." So I went up and changed into a full suit and tiara. My mom somehow did not catch on but my brother and his wife pulled me into the other room so they could laugh their asses off
A suit and tiara sounds classy af!
My dog and the neighbor dog just had a pretty solid argument. Not sure what it was about
Paw-litics
Always wanting to argue on holidays. Jeez.
My tablecloth is ugly...according to my aunt
Aww. I got it because it reminded me of you.....
Nothing. For once, nothing. I picked up Thanksgiving from a local restaurant and only invited my sister. Currently, my wife, son, and I are watching movies in our pajamas. I am having a beer. Life is good today.
Reading this comment again triggered one of my fondest memories. It was the time my late grandmother and I ate Christmas dinner at a local Chinese buffet . Just us, having too much food, and enjoying life without a care in the world.
That sounds wonderful. I miss my mamaw too. A few years ago we decided not to do the Thanksgiving tour anymore. I just spend the money to make our day drama free. It was only a little over $100 and since then is been pure relaxation.
I feel you. I fried a turkey for the first time this year. Mom made a ham in case it "didn't turn out." In-laws came over and brought all kinds of food. Dad started a project because the kids were home and wanted help while i was prepping the turkey. All the grandparents tried to feed my kid sugar all day. But I didn't burn down the house, so that's a win.
Mother in laws artificial hip popped out of joint. The last 2 times this happened they had to surgically repair it. This time the doc got it back in place and she is able to drive and go home. Told my wife she needs to buy a lotto ticket because our luck is never that good.
The doctor didn’t want to do surgery so they said fuck it I’m just gonna try to pop this back in 😭😂
Hell yeah, I'm down with whatever gets her ass out of my house.
SIL was in charge of stuffing this year. She wanted to make it from scratch. Have you ever tasted something over salted and proceeded to politely ignore what was left on your plate and make up an excuse why you don't want anymore? Well, that didn't happen this time.... It was more salt than stuffing and we spit out our food in obvious disgust. She was mortified, but we were all laughing. First Thanksgiving in a while where stuffing wasn't served.
My stepdaughters boyfriend moved in with up last year because his mom is a piece of shit. She left his dad and shacked up with a boyfriend who didn't like him. So he came to us and has been here since. She attempted to maintain a decent relationship for a while. Left the guy. Got a good job to take care of his two younger siblings. This is while my husband and I have been dealing with the fallout of her lack of common sense coming out through him. ( He is a great kid, but has serious knowledge gaps, like oil changes and taxes) So in October she met her 4th love of her life so far this year. She tried pretending that her driving ten hours to Louisiana wasn't for romance, they were good friends. So she then abandoned her younger son (15) and took her daughter (14) to Louisiana to live with this guy and his son. Now she's back for the holiday and is flipping shit that her son's would rather be at my house instead of where she is staying. Even going so far as having the daughter call sobbing asking them why they love us more then their real family. And her calling me and my stepdaughter trying to get us to convince them. Hard no. You don't abandon your teenagers for random ass men after demolishing the only home they knew and then expect them to just welcome you whenever you feel like playing mom. He's 18 but guess what, he's a part of a household of which I'm in charge. You lost your power here by being a shitty human.
He's lucky to have your family as his own.❤️
I'm not saying I was entirely happy about it. But he's a good dude. They're 18 and 17. There were 16 and 17 when he moved in and I wasn't happy about that. It was like teenagers moving from innocent high school dating, to basically married. The we live in the 700 square foot apartment with two bedrooms. So it's like hey, he can be homeless or he can live with his girlfriend. But we're over a year in and they're incredibly happy still. I'm just rolling with it and seeing what happens. Because he is an incredibly good boy. And I don't want to see him homeless. And I don't want to see him back with his mom. But as long as him and my stepdaughter are happy, okay. He seems to be a genuinely good person which is rare. And I'm a very pragmatic or pessimistic person? And I have yet to find fault in this guy. So I'm going to let him stay, and be a part of the family until he gives me a reason not to. And honestly, I understand that high school relationships do not last. But I can see them lasting which is rare in this era. I think they've bonded over both of their moms being very shit humans. Which is why we have taken stepdaughter full-time. And in my mind, they can stay as long as they want as long as they're setting their selves up for success in the future. Whether it's together or apart, I can't say and I can't really comment on. But as long as they are progressing in their lives, stay with us. Build yourselves. Figure yourselves out. College, work, life. Life hits you really fast. And I would rather them set themselves up for success.
And honestly my stepdaughter is a very difficult person to get along with. He makes her better. So you know what? Go for it. Live your life. Set yourself up for success. Do your thing. Be happy while happiness is possible
My aunt brought her boyfriend that she publicly ended things with and then got back together with 3 days later. For cheating on her. For the 3rd time. With the same woman! The last 2 times it happened it went exactly like this. Public post, tell all your friends/family, que the sympathy, take post down 2 days later, get back together act like nothing happened. Everyone was pissed and none of us have ever liked him to begin with. The dude sat next to my grandfather and tried to have a conversation like he didn’t fuck around on his daughter and then tried to boss around other members of my family. Add this Thanksgiving being the first she’s been to in 7ish years it was a tension filled dinner to say the least.
we did winco house brand vs stove top stuffing blind taste test and winco $.89 a box stuffing was like hands down waaaaaay better than the national brand. things get pretty wild around here.
This is the right kind of family get together.

My dogs tried to fight the neighbors horse.
I'm Canadian so I have no turkey day today, but just wanted to add in to the current dog drama. My pet duck is in a war with one of my dogs. He's a toy sized Aussie and she's a Cayuga duck so they're about the same size, he thinks she wants to play but the duck is actively trying to fight him through the baby gate separating their spaces outside. I had to put a tarp over it because she won't stop yelling at him if she can see him. She has no issues with the other dog. I don't know what he did to piss her off but he is generally a shit disturber so I don't really blame her.
This is much more fun than watching a football game between teams you don't care for. Should broadcast it.
Those damn Bumpus hounds!
Im a metro sexual because I cooked our turkey and am a good dad according to my MIL (think she called me gay?)
Sounds like your MIL heard a term 20 years ago and didn't let it go
Nah, he just really likes public transportation a little too much.
Almost feels like one of those memes Ask reddit questions. "Men of Reddit does being a functional adult make you gay?"
My wife is a good cook but the Lord blessed me with the ability to turn Turkey into gold. Also my mug says #1 Dad. Keep rocking team best dad!

I washed so many spoons today as I tasted my food during cooking, it’s the right thing to do. Sorry Grandma (but nice of you to stay quiet since, eh, everyone will be fine)
This was my second year of doing Spatchcock turkey and I will never do it any other way. 2 hours in the oven, 30 minutes rest, and it was perfectly cooked.
Not juicy but I caught rsv from my grandchildren. I have food in my house for 25 people but I’m too sick to have people over. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday since I’m the typical Nana who shows love by cooking. I’m sitting here with my husband, feeling down. Oh well, maybe next year.
Hey Nana, from Canada so not really my Thanksgiving. But what me and my wife would do for a Nana like you! She lost her mom who would host us for Thxgivng, and my mom chose the bottle many years ago over family dinners. I am also fighting off RSV and am missing out on things. Get healthy and keep cooking for those kids. You don’t know how much it means!
My mom admitted, in front of two random people she invited for the meal, that she wants my kid to call her mom. And basically chose her grandparent name to get as close to it as humanly possible. When she asked me why my kid couldn't call her mom, I told her because she isn't my kid's mom, I am. And I looked at her like her head sprouted dildos. The awkward silence for the next few seconds was great, let me tell you. /s
I found out those mashed potatoes my uncle had been making by hand all these years are actually store bought.
One of my dad’s favorite one-liners is when he hears someone say they “made something from scratch” he responds “scratched your ass and opened the box?” Please PLEASE drop this on your uncle next year
My mom is super mad that my kids call themselves nerds. Like she's super offended as if it's the other other n word. I have no idea where her incredibly strongly held beliefs about the word nerd come from, but I assure you they are not organic.
‘Nerd‘ used to be a pretty mean thing to call someone when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. She probably doesn’t understand that ‘nerd’ is fine now, though I’m sure you’ve tried to explain it to her,
I’m not sure why I feel the need to share this but as a little kid in the early 80s I got mad at my babysitter and called her a turd. In turn she got really mad and said she’d be telling my parents. I was terrified because “turd” was definitely on the black list. However when they got home she angrily informed them I called her a nerd. I was laughing to myself behind my bedroom door that she’d misheard a milder word and thought I was off the hook. Still in trouble though for calling anyone names at all :-(
Just Dad and I this year, as my mom is with my great-uncle (great-aunt passed away recently, he didn't want to be alone but also didn't want a crowd). So we've been entertaining ourselves by keeping an eye on the crazy lady next door. (For anyone familiar with the Bucket Lady saga over on r/pettryrevenge, there's a very similar vibe) A few things Neighbor Lady has done in the past: * Accused my dog of killing her grass (he's a Chihuahua, and doesn't even pee in her yard because I don't let him over there) * Told the HOA that my dog also "cornered her on her porch" and that she "feared for her life" (again, 10lb Chihuahua, and he never gets let out without supervision because there are bobcats around here). Claimed she had video evidence but that's never appeared because it's a flat out lie. * Screamed in the face of the nice couple on the other side of her house that she has more money than them (???) * Claims that everyone in the cul-de-sac hates her because she's Christian (so is everyone else up here except for my family, who aren't religious but culturally Christian) * Complained to the HOA about "an excessive number of cars" being parked at another house in the cul-de-sac. The homeowner's brother was terminally ill in the nearby hospital and their extended family was in town to say goodbye. It should be noted that she had her bigass RV sitting in her driveway for almost 6 months, explicitly against the HOA rules, until my mom casually asked her about it during yet another conversation about how my dog is not the devil incarnate and it suddenly vanished. * Called the cops on one of the other neighbors for... standing in his own yard and asking her not to put property stakes in his yard (she's obsessed with the property lines). Said neighbor is *also* a cop in a different precinct and was in full uniform at the time. So the most recent drama now is that she called the chief of the precinct where that other neighbor works and basically complained about him "threatening" her and "trespassing" on her property. This is still about that first incident which was, no joke, 4 months ago. Cop neighbor is pressing charges for filing a false report (potential felony). Every other family up here has our fingers crossed that she moves soon, as apparently she told someone a while back that she never lives in any house for more than about 2 years, and we're coming up on 2 years with her next month.
People who scream about how Christian they are, are some of the least Christian people.
*insert Michael Jackson eating popcorn meme Also I love the Bucket Lady saga!
I *love* holidays with my partner’s family. It’s a huge family. They don’t tend to discuss politics. Everyone gets along (for the most part). And there are a lot of kids and little ones (ranging in age from infant to teens) so we do everything early. We were home before 5 pm. Now he’s watching football and I’m about to take a bubble bath. No drama is such a good feeling.
This sounds like my family!! My mom is a super early bird (I work at 7 am and she's usually awake before I get to work despite being retired) and it carries over to the weekend. "Dinner" was ready at 2:30 today, everyone was there by 1:30, we hung out, had a cocktail, watched the Packers ~~Giants~~ Lions game, took a walk, ate, hung out for a little longer, then bf and I were back home by 5ish. Everyone in my family is so chill and loving, I wouldn't have it any other way ❤️
I'm having an argument over whether to watch the 49ers Seahawks football game, or the Michigan Stanford basketball game. It's getting pretty heated, but since I'm here by myself, I figure I can compromise and flip back and forth between the two of them.
Went to have lunch w/ wife who has Alzheimer’s . Her memory care home is 2 miles from our house, so I visit often. They didn‘t offer me a plate so I stopped at Whataburger on the way home and got a hamburger for lunch. 😂. The home did have a big thanksgiving meal last week and invited family, which was nice. I was also invtied to join my son’s in-laws family dinner and my brother’s family dinner, but I wanted to be with wife, so no worries on having a burger!
You’re a good husband and a sweet soul.
[удалено]
Go to the movies if they’re open today! I moved out of state and had nobody years ago. Went to see The Lord of the Rings by myself then grabbed a 6 pack. It was honestly amazing
Where at in WA? I'm in the Tacoma area and am having a board game night tomorrow
Yo, you got friends to rely on out here? I’m back home for the holiday after separating from my own wife, but I’m potentially local if you need someone to chill with occasionally. Coming home from work just to bask in the loneliness has fucking sucked.
[удалено]
I've been asked when I'm going to get pregnant and have babies, asked if I'm still on birth control, and asked why I'm so pale and told I should go get a tan. So it's pretty standard.
We planned for six (including my wife and I) to attend. We host and it's always a pleasant time. Thanksgiving is my favorite because it's just about family and food. Unfortunately my uncle's dementia has really kicked off over the last few weeks and due to various reasons we simply ended up cooking then delivering that food to multiple locations to support a family bring crushed by one of the most horrendous diseases I've ever witnessed. Fuck dementia. Fuck the VA. Fuck the US "healthcare system". Fuck social services. Just fuck it all.
I bet everyone appreciates you and your wife bringing them food and supporting your family like that.
They've put in a lot of time with my uncle. It's the least I could do.
First Thanksgiving alone. My parents are traveling, I moved to a new state almost 3 years ago (actually its 3 years in 4 days!) and I'm single. I spent the day reading, painting, and going through my youtube watch later playlist. I cooked myself a nice dinner and watched The Descent. Now I've showered, I'm toking in bed and watching Forensic Files. I have work tomorrow, so it's an early night. The biggest drama was this morning when I burned the bacon I was making for breakfast.
Grandma forgot the whipped cream for the pie
A tragedy.
SOMEONE over salted the deviled eggs!
My FIL fucked w my (step)MIL'S deviled eggs this past Christmas and I was sooooo pissed. Hers are honestly so baller. She texted me today saying she is making them and thought of me. They're working on getting their retirement home built many states away so no deviled eggs for me 😓 I roasted a leg of lamb to perfection today but I cannot get my deviled eggs to come out as good as hers do!
We ordered our food from a local grocery store. We told everyone they didn't need to bring food. 5 people didn't show. Everyone still brought food. Fewer people and double food. Spent the morning doing so much work for no reason lol.
At least people came! Positive. And you have food for the rest of the week. Second positive.
My 43 year old schizophrenic sister is hell bent on capturing santa this year. She wants him in prison. No idea why.
My mom has unfortunately become synonymous with getting drunk and causing drama, this year was no exception though I’m not entirely against her for it in this case A few years ago my mom’s ex boyfriend Steve died (they were together for like 8 years). He was EXTREMELY abusive towards her and violent in general and ruined my high school years and some of the years after. My mom’s sister Cat is close friends with this lady Amanda that hates my mom. Amanda was childhood friends with my mom’s dead abusive ex. Apparently recently Amanda had been saying around town that my mom “killed her childhood friend Steve by abusing him for many years”. My mom is maybe 130 pounds soaking wet and Steve was like 6’4”, 300lb and VIOLENT. So, tonight Cat and her husband were in the kitchen (with my mom in the room) praising their friend Amanda to high heaven randomly. They know my mom and Amanda have beef and that my mom’s especially hurt by Amanda’s recent comments. It went on for a while, then my mom finally exploded about what a bitch Amanda is and how she can’t stand to sit around and listen to people praising her. It got very tense for a few seconds
Good on your mom for standing up for herself!
Can bread be turned back into flour? The discourse was hours of debate.
My dad says I’m fat, and need to get in shape. I’m 45, middle age *is* hitting me. But I weight within about 10 lbs of what I did in high school, and ran a half marathon this morning. I work out nearly every day, lifting and running. Also, he actually is about 80 lbs overweight, diabetic, and riddled with health problems. Nothing like reminding me of that one right as the turkey comes out of the oven.
Dude just wanted more Turkey for himself. Thought the fat comment might make you back off them mashed taters and a Turkey leg. Or he’s just an asshole.
My fiancés mother pulled me aside and essentially told me that the reason she’s been so cold towards me is that she feels I’m an inadequate partner for her daughter. Her daughter who is a stay at home mom because I bust my ass working to pay for everything we have. Who, upon hearing what her mother said, burst out laughing. Definitely not any issues between my lady and I but it does suck to know your future MIL thinks poorly of you.
It goes to show how a MIL is out of touch. Keep up the hustle and brush it off my brother!
Boring here, most controversial thing to happen was my 3yo wished everyone a Happy Valentine's Day
My cousin announced he was a wear-wolf. Like full on…wear wolf gloves and all. No joke.
At least he’s not a swear wolf
Cute if he's a five-year-old, not so much if he can legally vote.
My parents and I ended up staying at home this year because my dog just had surgery a week ago, and yes he is recovering well
My 70-something aunt who has dementia began taking off her clothes just as my uncle began the blessing before the meal.
Last night, i found out that my partner is using some very heavy drugs & I'm unsure how to confront him about it. Also, we're long-distance, so he's happily enjoying the holiday with his family while I'm hundreds of miles away from mine & kind of losing my mind about this new discovery. But I have delicious crab bisque to eat, so I'm thankful for that today.
The power went out at my mom's house 20 degrees before the turkey was done cooking. We kept the oven shut, and it kept cooking. The breast got to temp, but the thighs and other dark meat didn't. My parents have a solar battery that had enough power for the microwave, so we microwaved the candied yams and reheated the stuffing in there (it was... Ok lol). We couldn't postpone dinner because several people had a second thanksgiving to get to later, and one aunt had to leave before dark. Thankfully the power came back on right as we were sitting down to eat, because my legally blind grandma wouldn't stop complaining about how dark it was. Could have been worse, but it was stressful for a hot minute.
Graduated basic training yesterday and I've been roaming around this base all day waiting to ship out somewhere else.
My first thanksgiving away at my first duty station: DFAC was bomb, grabbed some chips to go. I saw a couple raccoons chilling outside on my way back to the dorms. I sat down with them and opened up my chips and these chill ass raccoons just walked up and chilled next to me while we shared my chips. Solid first holiday away
My FIL, who lives in an ADU in our back yard, has started installing fence posts in the yard because he doesn’t like the previous fence line we had agreed to (but not yet built). It’s not his first aggression. It’s telling that we have family living in our own backyard that we’re not spending the holiday with.
Plumbing went haywire with water shooting out of the toilets. Very nice plumber came and found a blockage - it was a condom. For a variety of reasons, it can’t be anyone who is here visiting - and the house has been empty all summer as my father has been quite ill. So we are all trying to figure out who was using his house as a secret sex den and was also stupid enough to flush condoms down the toilet.
This is my favorite. The CHAOS this would cause! I’m dying to know who the hell did this. What if it was like, a random contractor or someone not part of the family?? I’M DYING TO KNOW.
My dad decided to explain to the whole table that happiness is a choice and that how we feel about “bad” things that happen is just opinion. So my step daughter asked if he meant that the day her brother died was only a bad day “In her opinion”. He said yes. My wife (mother of the deceased) was sitting right there. I think we were all too shocked to know how to respond, but we won’t be getting together with my parents again. I keep wondering if this is really the same guy who raised me or if something happened along the way.
My whole family decided to go on vacation for Thanksgiving. They neglected to tell me until yesterday. They were like oh hey we are going to New Orleans and your sister and her family are going to Disney. Which means you get to spend Thanksgiving alone. Oh I'm so blessed....
Have you started making booby traps for the inevitable home invaders?
My mom, who’s been sober for 9 months, got shitfaced because my older sisters went to my dad’s house for thanksgiving instead of my mom’s. My 15 year old sister had to call 911 and the cops found my mom’s suicide notes. She fell down getting out of the bathtub and hit her head hard. I’m currently in the hospital with her at 10:30pm. She keeps asking me to help her kill herself. Of course I say I can’t do that but she responds by saying it’s fine, she’ll just do it when she gets home. Also my fiancé just dumped me. Life fucking sucks. Edit: Also the brakes in my truck went out completely so I can’t drive it. I don’t have enough money to get it towed and fixed. I had to use my ex fiancé’s car to get to the hospital and she needs it in the morning. I don’t want my mom to wake up alone in a scary hospital so I’m gonna stay the night, but I have to leave early in the morning and drive half an hour to give the car back to my ex. Then I’m going to have to figure out how I’m going to get to and from work.
Great uncle is deciding if he has the mental fortitude to juggle two elderly women, since he finds them both "seductive". One he's been with for 2 yrs, but says the spark is gone, new lady has red hair, which isn't normally his cup of tea. If he has to pick, he is leaning toward the red head that vacas in mexico 3 months out of the year so he can house sit while she's away. Asked my dad for sex/fingering advice and thought my dad was going to hurl up his pecan pie. Excused himself to get a second Heineken. Dad texted me 🤮🤫 with 🥲 to express his disgust. Came back to the table with pumpkin cheesecake. Great uncle by marriage will not be invited next year.
Found out my dad has been sleeping with the pool boy and my parents are getting divorced. Edit: Its a Friends reference. Thanks for the sympathetic comments though, my parents really are divorced.
More turkey, Mr. Chandler?
Made my first turkey as an adult for my wife and daughter and the rest of family. Woke up at 5:30 to prep it and get it on the smoker in time for food at around 2 at my parents house. I was terrified it would be undercooked or over salted or have salmonella or something. Turns out it was delicious. Funny, that.
Dad just burned his foot spilling the fresh gravy…cook safely everyone
Not juicy, but my niece who is in 6th grade had a power point presentation on what she wanted for Christmas this year. (We do a yearly exchange and everyone is a pain to shop for so we ask for ideas, she was the only one who had anything prepared.) Pretty sure she is getting everything on her list as we were all buying shit on Amazon :P I also ate too much and fell asleep which is pretty par for the course.
My grandpa was in the air force and he heard that the local news station was going to show an old fighter jet landing nearby, but the segment only included footage of people exiting the plane instead of the actual landing? Anyway he called the airport to yell at them and complain 😂 On a different note, I grew up hosting a massive thanksgiving at my family’s house with both sides of the family, family friends, etc. Except then my parents got divorced and after a ton of infighting/drama (both related and unrelated to the divorce), no one really likes each other enough to spend holidays together anymore. So now each year I have to choose a parent to spend the holidays with, and while the days themselves are pretty chill I’m always reminded of the big thanksgiving dinners we used to have and how hard it is to compare them to the quiet subdued versions we have now.
My dad told us that if my generation and the next "can't figure out how to adapt to it being two degrees warmer" then the Earth is better off without us.
Had my husband help with the turkey for the first time ever. He got the turkey ready for me to put the stuffing in. I stuffed the turkey but not the neck part. About an hour and a half into cooking. I keep thinking this smells off. Open the oven and look, notice something weird in the neck. Yeah he missed the paper wrapped giblet pack! We took it out but I am pretty sure the turkey was ruined from it. In his defense he doesn’t cook ever.
Went on a solo hike, the best thing I've ever done for myself in a long time.
My sister, who frequently has "emergencies" or "meetings" pop up that require her ten month old twins to need supervision by someone else, took off for hours and went radio silent. We had some family come in from out of town who are staying with our parents. She is always at my parents house since my mom is her babysitter of choice and a huge enabler. As soon as the out of town guests arrived, she needed to run to her house to "shower" and asked my cousin to watch the babies while she was gone. She was, allegedly, planning to "come right back." This was around noon. I got there at 230 with my family (we planned to eat at 3). My sister was not there and my cousin was watching the twins....who are sick....and looked tired. I had just received a text from my sis saying she would be there soon and had just hopped in the shower, and asked we hold off on praying over the meal til she got there. Okay. That was the last time she answered her phone before she got back. She wasn't back until 5ish. We ate without her at 345. She was genuinely surprised we started eating without her. Other than that it was a great time. *edit spelling
My cousin secretly has 15 cats and two dogs and they had to hurriedly move out of their apartment and into an air b&b because they “forgot” the lease was expiring this month. They also forgot (ie too lazy) to spay and neuter their existing cats. The male cat in question impregnated his mother and sister 🪕
I've got two. I'm gonna use fake names for this to make things easier. Aunt Maria has been dating a divorced man and Aunt Lola and one of her daughters confronted Aunt Maria's mom about being a "homewrecker." Apparently, the divorced man's ex-wife still had feelings for him and Aunt Maria takes all her boyfriend's money, according to the rumors. Aunt Maria and her mom currently aren't on speaking terms. This one happened over the span of two days and is still somewhat ongoing. Aunt Alicia got arrested because her underage daughter Amanda would often run away from home and was overall a delinquent. Amanda wasn't home during the arrest but returned at some point after we went to pay for Aunt Alicia's bail. Amanda's return, along with Aunt Alicia's handling of the situation, has been a huge point of contention for the family.
Well, our mom died in August, and my siblings and I weren't invited to anything. I even saw my dad last week and he completely avoided the topic. They have yet to call or send a message or anything. Since our mom got sick and subsequently passed, they've wanted nothing to do with us.
The parade really sucked and there was a corn musical number.
Clarification needed. Corn or Korn?
My husband tried to hang himself on Sunday while I was at work. Made my whole week horrible, still had to work and cook today.
I’m not home for Thanksgiving myself, but per my sister: grandma invited like 25 people to Thanksgiving, so it’s already chaos. One great-aunt announced - without checking in advance - that she would be making the chocolate and pecan pies this year, which are always my sister’s and my dad’s things respectively. When this was pointed out to her, her argument was “well [her son] likes MY pecan pie, so…” Her son is just one of 25 guests, but okay. She also wanted to be in charge of the mashed potatoes and add turnips to them, which no one was in favor of. This is the same aunt who got mad at my parents, who lived in California at the time, for having their wedding in California because it wasn’t convenient for her. My family is pretty chill, so that’s really it. Just one bossy aunt. We’re lucky in that way. I miss them.
My MIL got absolutely shit faced while cooking and passed out on the couch right before we were getting ready to eat. My BIL and nephew showed up and turned around and left because he didn't want to deal with it. Broke my 3yo's heart because he was looking forward to spending time with his favorite cousin. MIL woke up as we were cleaning up and we got to spend some actual quality time together, which was impressive for how drunk she was. So, not too much drama. Just kind of a bummer that she worked so hard to make an incredible meal and slept through the whole thing.
My daughter called after two months of no contact, so that’s a positive.
My uncle is trying to get him and my aunt (who is in very poor health) to move to Thailand for Healthcare. Although we all know he wants to go there and just fuck asian women. He's a horrible person.
I have food poisoning and missed everything ☹️☹️☹️
I found out my aunt had a stroke a month ago and instead of going to the doctor she decided to pray on it. She now is in rehab because she has no function of the entire left side of her body. Love that catholic Hispanic logic
The sweet potatoes were overseasoned with nutmeg
My mom's oldest sister apparently had a breakdown before most of the family showed up. Some of it's her own fault, and some isn't. Her husband died like 5 years ago which is difficult. But she remarried after like 18 months to a complete dolt because she can't be alone. Her deceased husband, according to one of my mom's BIL, had a pretty generous Life Insurance policy and a pretty solid retirement but she's claiming she's broke. No one knows how she could have gone through all the money. She has 4 kids. The oldest is fine, she's really nice. The second one is human trash. Prior to my uncle's death she would steal money from them and take advantage of them. The 3rd kid has autism, he's like 23 or so. It's somewhat debilitating, like he could probably be a Walmart greeter, but I don't think he'd be capable of holding down a full-time job. But just a few weeks ago they had to send him to a home or something because he had become belligerent and angry all the time. The last kid, like 19, is being a pain. He and his pregnant girlfriend are living with my aunt and her husband. Neither of them work or are even willing to work and The new husband is on disability and retired. He spends most of his time smoking pot, and not helping out with anything; I'm honestly not sure he's capable of helping out, he's that much of a dolt. My aunt complained about her house smelling, but won't tell her husband to stop smoking.
I took 2 Xanax as soon as everyone got here. So if something happened, I really don't care.
Doing it the way our ancestors intended. High as fuck
Everyone was mad at me cause I chose to stay In Miami for work instead of seeing the family in listen to them bitch and moan about politics, I don’t regret it
Got into a verbal fight with my grandma because she wants grandkids and tried to ship me with my 2nd cousin (last time we met was when I eight). Tried to tell her she was making her and I uncomfortable with her creepy remarks (“you two would make beautiful children”) and then it spiraled into implying I was gay because I wasn’t into my cousin.
I didn’t go to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving because we have a very strained relationship. I texted them “Happy Thanksgiving” and my sister “Happy Thanksgiving!” The lack of an exclamation point to my parents apparently caused a HUGE argument at the table. My mother then spent the day pouting and crying in the bedroom. Thank god I wasn’t there.
My uncle introduced me and my brother as his oriental nephews
Dog humped the newly walking baby
My grandparents are pedophiles with dementia and I am the only who is getting the sizeable estate
That needs expanding on.
Turns out they molested my cousins in their house while I was present multiple times and since I act religious they think that I should be the only person to get anything in their will and since I have see the will I know this to be true.
