Grandma is my mom. She is in good health in her mid 60s is too rich lol and gives nothing to her grandkids. She has never babysat once for our kids in 7 years despite babysitting for my brothers  kids (the age of our oldest chiild). she lives 30 minutes away.

Every year grandma insists everyone have dinner on the 1st night of the major Jewish holidays. My wife and kids are not even Jewish. This was never convenient for me and she knows it.  I have not been to a temple in over 2 decades and it has been over a decade for her if not longer. So 2 times a year I need to rush home from work, get my kids and go to grandmas house and then wait an hour for my bro to show up as he is always late. (please note I already have an hour commute to work). Yet it is so important grandma likes to say that we are together for the Jewish holidays.  Hello my kids are Catholic and I am already tired. What time is dinner grandma.  So I come home from work and go to her house (wait an hour or so or till whenever brother shows up). Every year grandma asks and I say it would be better to come over the weekend as we have 3 young kids and are already tired at night during the week. Did grandma ever give a damn about this. Nope we had to celebrate the holiday on the 1st night of the holiday but this does not seem to apply to Thanksgiving.

My opinion - Grandma is doing this Thanksgiving thing to feel good. She likes to make herself feel good.  She is an excellent cook and likes to cook. She has fun. SHe does not work.  I have invited Grandma to Thanksgiving in the last few years and she was never available.  Grandma has over $2 million dollars from a divorce proceeding years ago (likely much more) and she does not give her grandchildren a dime.

A few years ago Grandma, my mom, said for now on she is not giving gifts on the holidays except to kids.  Grandma who lives a full 30 minutes away visits the kids maybe 7 times a year for about an hour at a time.  Lol I have to keep my babysitter there because grandma might not be able to change a diaper.  Oh by the way my dad, grandpa, can watch the kids for over 10 hours at a time by himself.
