Well my brother told me to eat shite and die when I invited him over for Thanksgiving. MIL is bringing her BF who seemingly doesn't STFU.

Glad I mounted a tv in my backyard so at least it will just be me, the turkey, the smoker, and some grass the first half the day.

I lucked up as I am on my honeymoon, so not dealing with any family this year. Wife has a huge family — sure there will be some frickery.

Lol Jesus.

My family is so small that holiday dinners are pretty much always lacking any drama at the actual event. It's more of a talking about other people's drama

My wife and two grown daughters are currently making some sort of center piece for the dining room table. At the end of said table sits my 79 yr old dad in his bathrobe and baseball cap. He has highball glass of gin & more gin in front of him and his Dremel tool out and is trying to "fix these frickin dentures".

I am in the living room with my son-in-law half arse watching the world cup on Telemundo and, trying to decipher what the hell they are saying (combined, we have over 4 years and 30 hours of high school and college level Spanish). Why Telemundo? My 1 yr old grandson has hidden the remote. And lost the batteries. The 4 and 5 year old grandsons are having a nerf gun war while repeating some of the disturbing Nazi/Jap comments I made earlier. This seems to have given my wife the red arse. So even with the denture dust, I am the bad guy. It is only a matter of minutes before I am kicked out of the house to "go deal with the fryer thing so you don't have your normal clusterfrick tomorrow".

Basically a normal Wednesday.

Both mine and my wife’s family are generally drama free, but apparently my wife’s real grandfather is coming for the first time this year.

He hasn’t been around since he disowned my wife’s uncle (his son) for being gay. This will be the first time they have seen each other in 40ish years.

This will either be incredibly heartwarming or a disaster.

Now this is one I would appreciate an update on.

Ok, so, we need background on this.

He's off his meds. He also gets some fabulous theories from reddit. It's a roll of the dice whenever you call him up to see what's going on. Don't care to kick him while he's down but let's just say the fact he hasn't had any extended stay in jail/prison is a miracle. My Dad has spent a mint on bail.

My wife’s divorced cousin is staying with us tonight through the weekend. She‘s very attractive and gets flirty after a few glasses of wine. I may be divorced by the end of the weekend. Her ETA is in about an hour.

She may be in a sad mood all weekend though because her ex-husband gets the kids this year for Thanksgiving.

She looks a lot like actress Jeanne Triplehorn.

My grand-niece, with two kids from two boyfriends, one raised by my cousin, one raised by my aunt, in and out of jail for drugs, met a dude and shacked up. She left him two months later, but he got mad so drove his truck into her moving car, rolling her. She escaped injury, refused to press charges, moved back in with the guy and now is pregnant and on drug rehab.

She planned to show up and bring the new beau and asked my aunt to ask everyone not to mention the time he almost killed her. My brother, who is hosting the big get-together, said he's told my aunt that those two aren't invited to attend. My aunt told him she's not coming if her granddaughter can't, so my brother told my aunt, (who texted me and asked me to change my brother's mind) that she can stay home and enjoy Thanksgiving with her crack-head, pregnant granddaughter and her trashy, criminal boyfriend all alone.

I texted her back and said "I don't want to see them, either. Nobody does. Either you come or don't come, but I agree with my brother. It's his house. His rules.“

So if my aunt shows up, I expect she'll have a bit too much wine and have some sharp words and probably boo-boo and cry.

Should be fun.

Are we talking young or current Jeanne Triplehorn?

She is still beautiful, but there is a difference.

It will help to determine whether Scruffy RA’s you for not posting pics.

It is threads like this that remind Scruffy that, no matter how problematic his family may be, there is some crazier shite going on out there.
