[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it weren't for women there would be no thanksgiving huge meals.  Men wouldn't know their grandparents .  Men would be fine with it. This kind of thread is why men die 10 years younger than women. The institutional drama is damaging.[/quote]

This is total BS. There would be Sunday football and they would see family more often. They would be fine with a beer and a pizza. Family gatherings don't have to be family drama, it's just women make up some Norman Rockwell imagine in their head.

Women make things so complicated. [/quote]

Oh, please.  What is there not to love about turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, mac & cheese, green beans w/bacon, pumpkin pie and other delicious treats?

And you get to eat this wonderful food while watching t.v., drinking beer and/or sipping on a glass of wine.  How good is that?  [/quote]

Nothing is wrong with that or any other Thank giving dinner menu. It's not really that complicated either, especially if you are not a martyr ... assign guests a dish, make a few the day before and relax.

It's not like she didn't think she could go for a hike the morning of the dinner, she is just pissed her H is doing something without her. #princessAlert[/quote]

Call me a princess, too, because I would be really disappointed in dh if he just upped and ditched me and the kids to go golfing with his buddies on the holidays and then expected to be served a feast when they all got back to our house.  I think I might be tempted to tell him where he could stick those golf clubs as a matter of fact  :hunf: [/quote]

Every time you have friends over for dinner your H isn't allowed to do anything else all day except prepare?  :shock:

Nobody said he can't help when he gets home, set up the bar the night before, etc.[/quote]

Huh?  We were talking very specifically about a *Holiday*.  Yes, I expect my husband to spend time with me and the kids on a holiday.  If he made other plans w/o even discussing them with me I would be upset.

If you and your own spouse do your own thing on holidays and meet up for meals, good for you.  That's not how we do things in our house.[/quote]

every family I know goes to a 5K or plays football in the morning. It's bizarre to me that you need everybody at the house at 10 am "together", [/quote]

If your family runs a 5K every Thanksgiving morning or takes a bike ride or sits at home watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade together with the grandparents....that is all fine.  Whatever your family tradition is - do it.

Back when I was growing up in the 70's we pretty much all hung out at home watching the parade on t.v., helping with food prep, playing games.  We do the same sort of thing now.  I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to doing a 5K but that is something I do pretty much every day anyway.  Thanksgiving is I cook, hang out with my family, cook and watch football.  That's how we do it.  Don't like what we do?  Fine.  Do your own thing as a family.[/quote]
