[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disappointed would be ok, but being pissed about it is over the line. You do not owe her a Thanksgiving celebration. She is crazy. [/quote]

Did SIL say to you directly that she is pissed?[/quote]

No she said something more along the lines of "WTF (without using the acronym) is wrong with you?  How dare you  . . . . You can't just destroy a beloved family tradition!  You have an obligation to this family . . . . "  She may have said more, but I blocked her so I don't know.  Then she told her kids that there would be no Thanksgiving this year and they should call their cousins (my kids) and ask them why.  There were also other comments, but those were made to other people.

I'm pretty sure I read the tone correctly.[/quote]

Clearly, she is a wackadoodle. I would just make my hsuband deal with her and have no contact other than at large family events where you both have to attend.[/quote]

I dunno.  OP seems like she's a little off, too.  We're only getting her side of the story and she definitely doesn't seem like she's got a full deck up there.[/quote]

Sometimes people twist themselves into a pretzel to see both sides. [/quote]

It's not that hard actually. OP started a post seeming to want to understand "What is a tradition" and then later lets on that SIL is nutso. Why not just start there? Does she really need to know how many years makes something a tradition? Bizarre.[/quote]
