Calling it quits on woke in-laws / Thanksgiving

Get over yourself and act like an adult?

Basically, you're going to die alone.

Use the covid excuse. Tell them cases are rising and you don’t want to put yourself at risk.

I've got some moron relatives I have to deal with but I'm not going to let their dumbass ideologies turn the holidays into an issue for the ones I love.

I'll bite my tongue till I get a few whiskeys down then all bets are off. But someone would have to truly insult my wife or children before I didn't allow them to come for the holidays.


ETA: After your Covid statement where they refused to let you eat inside and wouldn't go to the bathroom unless all the doors are open - I wouldn't invite them either. If you have a segment of your family that makes the holidays actively worse for the rest then that segment should be removed like the cancer it is.

If they can avoid the triggers and get along then toughen up, but if they're making the day worse then don't allow them to come.

I havent spent Thanksgiving with family in 15 years

they arent woke just dramatic

You all sound like pretty miserable people. Except maybe your wife.

I'm generally for whatever makes living with another person easier. If your wife goes nuclear over not inviting them, well......I'd suck it up and deal with it. A single day of annoyance is a hell of alot better than the misery your wife can inflict on you.

If she's cool with it, and I mean for real okay with not inviting her parents and not just saying she's okay, then frick em. If not, you better choose wisely.

I wouldn't have married a woman with woke parents

Thankfully I don’t have that problem. All conservative.
