re: Thanksgiving family games

quote:

My entire family usually sits down for an unorganized meal, with some of us sitting in a dining room, some sitting in the living room, some sitting outside, and some not even eating due to who they'd have to sit next to if they did.


Then we play a lovely game of argue with the gay cousin over politics and religion, the aunts don't talk to the uncles because they feel screwed by the grandparents' will, and then we just sort of leave without saying goodbye. It's a great time.

We had an uncle that is a complete loser at life complain to my dad a few years ago that our family did Thanksgiving wrong. This guy, who has never kept a job a full year in his entire life, said that on Thanksgiving, everyone should be seated at a table and someone should bring a full turkey out and carve it at the table.

My dad prepares the turkey and carves it before it hits the table. And everyone just sits where they can. My wife and I sit in the living room to avoid my sister in law who believes she is a prophet. My two brothers (who live 500 feet apart) sit outside and avoid everyone.

I'm fairly conservative in my worldview but Fox News tells them how liberal college professors are. I see them twice a year and they are astonished that I am not a super liberal, but usually find something (last year it was we probably shouldn't shoot Mexicans when they try to cross) that they walk away thinking I am left of Obama.

My other sister in law resents everyone. She didn't go to college and she is the least successful of all of the "kids." Her daughter dresses like a skank and is proud of it.

My mother tries to keep the peace but between the jealousy of sister in law 1, the craziness of sister in law 2, and the over the top MAGAing from brothers, we just don't fit in.

My two daughters cousins on that side are skanky dressed teenager. Smart college student who always has to have a boyfriend present, and the only male - who aspires to be a plant baw.

Crimes against humanity. Ugh

Nothing beats my 40 yr old coke whore cousin that's aspiring to be a model and busted me out last year at the dinner table for unfriending her on Facebook.
