[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you as an empty nester don’t have the energy or bandwidth to organize/host a Thanksgiving meal but are salty that your sons and DILs with young children, who presumably have far more demands on them, similarly don’t want to do so?[/quote] And you just said they whole family was at your beach house. So that is enough for 2026. How many holidays do you want the whole family together? You got the one this year. [/quote] +1 Young families are really, REALLY pressed on time, and families are scattered. I don’t think older people realize the extent of this. Now they get to show up for a member of the wife’s extended family and the kids get to meet some of that side of the family, maybe for the first time or the first time in years - and your other son and his family get to go on an actual vacation, just them. You’ve given them the gift of time, AND they also spent the week with you at your beach house just now. [/quote]
