My Mom, Dad, sister and SIL were up by about 9:30. Nephews on both sides and my teenagers rolled in around 10:45 - 11 - so earlier than I predicted. I cooked the breakfast casserole from 10-11. Turkey ( breast only) and ham went in after that. I fell behind with dinner - we ate at 6 so i did wind up putting out a lot more appetizers than I had planned on but no one went hungry.

All this drama and you were only making a turkey breast, not a whole bird? BWHAAHAHAHA

Actually I made an 8 lb turkey breast, an 11 lb ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole ( family tradition from the 70’s) mac and cheese, biscuits, gravy, 3 pies and homemade brownies. I have 1 stove and 4 burners. Now I can’t wait for the next 17 pages about how awful and low brow my meal was and how you would NEVER serve that on Thanksgiving! Have at it nasty posters!

You should never volunteer to cook dinner again. This dinner should have taken 2 hours to pull off. What the hell were you doing the day before? You put the turkey in soon after the casserole and didn't eat until 6....? I'm surprised everyone didn't just bail and go get dinner somewhere else.

Your sister was right. You're one of those people who wants to starve everyone all day with only some shitty bagels until 6pm dinner? Get bent.

Wrong. Are you always this grumpy the day after Thanksgiving? I bet people love being around you. 🥹

They certainly do because I don't forbid them from eating all day when I don't serve dinner until 6.

Lol. Who forbade people to eat? You’re just being nasty for the same of being nasty - true to DCUM’s nature. I had originally planned bagels (and fruit which never came up) for brunch thinking people would sleep late. I was convinced to make a breakfast casserole which I did. It was a great idea. I don’t eat much but I get it that I had to adjust. I then served lots of appetizers in between. I wound up serving dinner later than I had initially planned because we were playing games at the table and enjoying ourselves.

Is that supposed to be a difficult/complicated meal or something? I can’t believe the food was so simple and straightforward and you didn’t even get it on the table on time—late for that?

Who said anything about the meal being complicated? Or that being the reason dinner was served later than planned?

Really? I know several that do. And several that don’t eat breakfast at all.

Yeah, my husband never eats breakfast. So weird to see people going on and on about how men need a hot cooked breakfast.

So odd. They’re like the women in the Obsessive Anti Shoes In The House New Stepdad thread bleating about how OP had better fall in line, because he’s the new Man of the House.

Sister made a small request, OP, being somehow a great host who is happy to host all of these people has a tiny kitchen, and instead of saying, sure... no worries, made a narcissist power play cause... narc love to ruin holidays and blame others for it.
And now sister is to blame and is obnoxious?
Narcs never just roll with the flow, let things go.. I hope her sister finds this thread.

You sound dumber every time you type “narc.” Just FYI.

Now don’t bother being a predictable 7th grader and attempting a clapback with “found the narc,” because you’ll only embarrass yourself further. Thanks in advance.

Yeah and I’m baffled and how inept OP is. If you’re impressed then you must be a disorganized lousy cook as well. The sister knew the dinner would be a cluster.

How many people served dinner hours late yesterday. Did you? That’s not good hosting.

Wow, next time think through and plan.

If you had simply served the biscuits and gravy as a late lunch, that would have solved every “problem” you had.

You seriously need to read some cooking and entertaining books or websites to learn how to plan out and time out a day’s worth of meals on a holiday.

Sorry, meant to say “late breakfast or lunch or brunch” but you get the point…instead of breakfast casserole, you should have served the biscuits and gravy when the “kids” woke up. Duh! No one wants ham, turkey and biscuits and gravy and sides. If biscuits and gravy had been served as breakfast/brunch/lunch, maybe you could have actually gotten your act together and served dinner on time. And you wouldn’t have had to cook another item, the breakfast casserole. That would have been ideal as cooking and planning seem to overwhelm you.
