[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really not a fan, but 25 does seem like a lot.

Inlaws make us eat on disposable when it's just us (their kids and spouses) on Thanksgiving. It's one of my bigger pet peeves about the holiday.[/quote]

Then you should offer to host and clean up.  :roll: [/quote]

Would LOVE to host. DH and I are excellent cooks and have tables big enough to fit everyone. It's "tradition" that inlaws host sadly and they aren't giving it up. [/quote]

I'm in your boat. MIL will not have the holiday pried out of her hands, even though we end up eating off paper plates and getting fast food-type catering, you know, for less hassle. It's cute how PP thinks we're all just a bunch of entitled prisses and aren't offering to help or even take over. [/quote]

Paper plates and fast food-type catering at Thanksgiving?! Oh my! You poor thing![/quote]

Yes, I suspect that the PPs have bigger issues with their in-laws, and the paper plates at Thanksgiving are just a stand-in for those bigger issues.

I would like to know, however: which fast-food places cater a Thanksgiving dinner? Or are the in-laws serving hamburgers and fries?[/quote]

Sounds to me like the "issue" is these DILs want to host and finally have a "turn" and hosting a nice holiday, but the ILs insist on hosting because it is "tradition"...but are then getting fast-food catering and paper plates to avoid the hassle. Just let the younger generation host![/quote]

Yes, this is the deal. If MIL thinks cooking and setting an actual table is too much, I am happy to take the duties - and I've offered.[/quote]
