[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the one (probably greedy boomer) who says just double up it’s easy, it’s clear you aren’t the host. Thanksgiving for a crowd of poorly behaved animals is already a ton of work. Cooking an extra turkey, doubling or really tripling the potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry, pies etc etc so the “guests” aka invaders can be fed leftovers the next day and take back heaping portions is a ton more work.

I honestly think it’s an aspect of boomers who are inherently selfish and greedy losing their filters and making sure they get theirs and no one else does. [/quote]

We went out to dinner and my father ate his 8 year old grandsons meal while he was in the bathroom because "it looked like he was done, and I paid for it." 
He also inherited thousands of antique gold coins from his own father and sold every last one for cash. He did not save a single solitary coin for his grandkids. [/quote]

This makes me appreciate my own parents more, who will watch my kids for an evening and send them home with some random family trinket/memorabilia and lunch for the next day. I was kind of irritated with my dad for sending my 4 year old home with a full sized commemorative BASEBALL BAT, but you're making me soften on that stance.[/quote]
