[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want your Thanksgiving table to look like in 20 years? [/quote]

Well, if you're my in-laws, apparently you wanted to be surrounded by your four kids and piles of grandkids.  In reality, only one kid ever comes home for Thanksgiving.  We are the only ones who come for Christmas, too, and only every other year.  And they have three grandchildren.  So don't have a bunch of kids thinking you'll have a Norman Rockwell illustration at the holidays.  [/quote]

Right?

Mil’s daughter died at 19 then MIL died at 45, both unexpected. His thanksgiving is spent avoided thinking about that table and trying to enjoy the meal with his new wife and their kids.

My mom and son don’t talk, mom is remarried and all their parents are dead. Daughter 1 works most holidays and we all live several hours apart. Thanksgiving is often a meal out with an aunt. Sometimes daughter 1 comes for the day. I’m daughter 2 and we spend it bil and sil. [/quote]
