[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, skip them.  It's perfectly fine.

How much free time do they have that they have 3 gatherings in the next 10 days?  Is this the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Thanksgiving or something else? [/quote]

Op here. There is an uncle coming from out of town this Thursday, so a pizza gathering to welcome him. Then a more formal gathering Saturday with sloppy Joe's   :hunf:  to welcome the arrival of DH's cousin.  Then thanksgiving.

What makes me crazy is that for 3 years I truly made an effort. And they still hate me. I tried to be super nice, would bring dishes to all these dumb little gatherings, would compliment the slop and people's outfits and homes, show interest in their lives. I'd buy cards for DH to send on his grandparents and parents birthdays and sent pictures of DD every few months. I'm done trying. [/quote]

OP, sorry to break it to you, but you have to show up for Thanksgiving. Bring wine and drink it, but show up!

I absolve you of your need to go to those other events. Say you have a headache or had to work late. I've cultivated a migraine for years so the story sounds legit now.[/quote]

Op here. I know you're right but I so desperately don't want this to be true. I know I can't skip out on thanksgiving or Christmas Eve :([/quote]
