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.

Perfection

LOL, the bad hostesses who don't eat much and think everyone eats just like them of course agree. Having a bunch of house guests and then freaking out on one who wanted to prepare breakfast is just weirdly hostile. Hopefully OP will unclench next time. If there's time for board games, there was time to let people make breakfast. Why did OP pick this bizarre fight with her sister when it ultimately didn't matter?

I am hosting my family of 15 people for Thanksgiving including my sister, my BIL, my sister’s two adult children and one of my nephew’s adult girlfriends. My elderly mom and dad, brother and his family are also coming. I’m am catering for all 15 people Wednesday night and preparing the Thanksgiving meal on Thursday. I also took specific drink and snack requests from her family so that they would have the things they wanted while staying at our house. I’m actually happy to have them all and appreciate that they are all willing to come so we can all spend the holiday together. My sister agreed to bring bagels and cream cheese for everyone for Thursday am but then got mad when I told her I didn’t want her cooking a big breakfast “ for her boys” on Thursday since I needed the kitchen space to prepare the Thanksgiving meal. When I asked her today if she was still going to bring the bagels she said no since I made it clear that I didn’t want her handling any of the food. That didn’t stop my BIL from texting to make sure I had Baileys for them and his favorite beer. I’m so blown away at my sister’s selfishness and total pettiness. I’m trying so hard to ignore it as I don’t want my hard feelings towards my sister to ruin the day for everyone else. I’m just so p*ssed but this vent to strangers has helped. She’s always been obnoxious and selfish but she’s getting worse as she ages. Anyway, thanks for listening. Oh and I agreed to let her bring her dog when I was feeling naive and gracious. That dog better not pee all over my house ( and yes I know it’s my fault for agreeing).

I feel you. It’s a thing. And it happens and takes away from vacation that you have. You’re not alone

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!

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.

Hilarious when someone is so eager to be nasty and critical that they mistype and look a damn fool themself.

All my guests had plenty to eat and my meal was served on time. And I fought with exactly no one.

It sounds like they played games and had a ton of snacks. You seem to be the one with the fight. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ma'am. OP started this because her sister was so outrageous and selfish and blah blah. Now she's singing kumbaya. Maybe she should learn a lesson here.

They were all on high alert knowing you are a narcissist.

We will be getting a post from Burger King Lady

Did OP delete a bunch of posts she disliked?

It’s telling that in most or all of OP’s posts, she had to insert a negative adjective about her sister. And she insults other posters too.

OP’s posts remind me of a high-strung friend who acts like she has it all together. She’s overly rigid and has everyone walking on eggshells. After insisting, time and time again, that she just lovesssss to host. But then keeps score when people sleep and eat in her home. Either host with an open heart or just let someone else do it. The seething and stress and eggshells are just too much.

+1. OP has issues she exposed to crowd-sourcing here. Then she didn't like the feedback she was getting so - a well-known defensive tactic on DCUM - started changing facts or citing to omissions on her part.

That’s your perception. I didn’t read it that way at all. Especially the follow ups. I’m not hearing eggshells or ire.
