Dome Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Question! Since last thanksgiving, I’d planned on having everyone over to my house this year for turkey day Very predictably, since this is the 3rd year in a rowmy MIL has decided that simply won’t work, with just a day to spare she’s throwing a fit. So I have two options: 1) Follow through with my plans and risk pissing her off.... bright side is I could potentially have the entire house to myself AND get leftovers 2) Bend to her will and show up to her thanksgiving. If this is what happens I will be doing nothing to help (since I was going to do everything on my own and give her the day off, I figure her changing the plans with 24 hours to go is on her now) and just drinking all day. This will probably piss her off as well. 3) Just going with the plans and being helpful is out of the question, you can’t get through to these people in that way What advice do the people give? The more likely to end in disaster, the better. Edited November 21, 2018 by Dome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s in keeping with that spirit? I think you know the right thing to do. You should obviously make your own dinner and enjoy all the extra food that’s left over. That’s what this is about, gluttony. Eat a massive meal, then go to her house later drink her booze, eat her food too and leave a mess of dishes. Ask for some leftovers to take home. If forced to choose between 1 and 2, I’d choose 1. I’m not going to act like an arsebag but I’m not going to cave to those shenanigans either, especially if she knew you’d plan to do it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I had to fix that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Normally 6 beers wouldn’t be a big deal but these were all abv 8%+ and I need to walk 3-4 miles back to my room in a non-English speaking country. Might just give up and live here as a dishwasher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pushback beyond "that sounds lovely" and I'd immediately escalate to "shut the **** up". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't spoken to his family in years and completely cut them out, so obviously he's not going to call. But that doesn't mean he can't sincerely care about helping other people affected. And making this a public squabble when the dude is donating his own money and raising a bunch more is a big fat 'everything has to be all about me' red flag tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
