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.


This reminds me of an old Jeff Foxworthy bit about whenever he feels bad about his family he goes to the state fair (or maybe Wal-Mart) to look at other people and their families. "You know what? We're doing alright...hell, we're damn near royalty"

Ok, here are the details so far.
First of all, we are not going to Thanksgiving on my side of the family at all this year. The reason being is because my cousins new wife pitched a fit about our Thanksgiving being at noon and got her way so now it is at 6 o clock Thanksgiving night. Thanksgiving has been at noon for decades before I was even born and some bitch who I have never met somehow got an almost century old tradition switch. Everybody I have talked to is pissed but they somehow let her have her way. The reason I am not going is because my wife and I have plans early Friday morning.
Tonight we are going to my wife's family Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will be drama free. The only interesting thing I know of is somehow my wife's sister and her husband spent the last six months on vacation. They have decent money but not vacation for six month money. He is a preacher so our theory is he is stealing money. If anything happens I will let you know.
As for tomorrow, we are ordering takeout, drinking, and watching tv.

That's similar to our situation.

My wife's family does thanksgiving at 5 pm central time. We live an hour away in eastern time. We have a 2 and 5 year old. We aren't going.

My wife didn't tell her mom we weren't going until about an hour ago though

My wife’s brother’s wife pulls that crap every holiday. Wife’s family is forced to plan around her family’s schedule and they change plans all the time. One year they do Thanksgiving at noon, the next at 6. My parents are deceased and my siblings are very spread out, so my family doesn’t do anything, so I’m just along for the ride.

God forbid we just do Thanksgiving without them.

I live for this thread. And the Christmas version which takes it up a few notches. If roughly 30% of these tales are even remotely true, it's the greatest collection of holiday misery known to man.

A lot of them are just the right amount of strange/trashy to be made up. Or there are just many posters much more imaginative than I am

My wife ( God bless her ) has been battling the creeping crud for a month. Coughing, congestion and generally just feeling like crap. We're hosting my side of the family this year. She is wondering how everything is going to get done since she feels bad and doesn't feel like doing anything. I told her "don't worry baby everything will get done just like every year." She says "what do you mean by that." I told her I do the cooking, cleaning outside and inside and anything else that may need doing and all she does is point and put fancy place mats on the table that no one uses. Needless to say that went over like a fart in church. Oh by the way, she's taking a nap now.

I believe all of them 100%. I’ve been around long enough to know almost every family has a trashy element to it, and nothing brings out the ugliness like the holidays.

Greatest thread of the year....

I think mine will be drama free, but I'm fully planning on getting baked out of my mind, drinking several bottles of wine, eating a shite ton of great food and reading this thread all day/night for laughs while watching football.

Oh and in the background of my thanksgiving my parents, my wife and baby girl, and her parents will be "enjoying" each others company

I'll do my best to read her posts from here to give her laughs, and try to liquor her up just enough to get me a little turkey night action after everyone goes to bed.

all of these trashy stories kind of make me jealous. our family thanksgivings are almost always very small (maybe ten people who see each other pretty often) so there's little no chance of fireworks.

Tomorrow consists of a younger unstable sister who just told us she’s pregnant, a brother going through a divorce, a cousin in the seminary studying to become a priest, a volatile mom with borderline personality disorder, an aunt that doesn’t hesitate to call my mom out on her bullshite, and an uncle that likes to tell us how much everything in their house costs.

this sounds like the season 1 thanksgiving episode of a shitty network comedy

My nephews taught my 4 year old and 6 year old the F word yesterday. My wife went ballistic when my 4 year old revealed this by saying "quit being a fricking baby". my wife was not amused when I couldn't stop laughing, or when she said "what did you just say?" to which my 6 year old replied "he said quit being a fricking baby". My wife may not be able to control her rage if they do it again while said nephews are around tomorrow.

I’d rather put my duck in the garbage disposal than even try that. While attractive, my SIL is probably the person I despise the most. She can not keep a guy due to bitchy she is.

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.


Oh boy, not 10 minutes after showing up she asked my wife if she was familiar with Delta 8 weed and pulled out a bag of gummies. They just left to go have lunch and wine. This is going to be a great Thanksgiving.
