[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if neighbor was single and childless and had no one to spend holidays with, yes i would say you're a jerk

but [b]this guy has a family he is choosing not to spend time with[/b], so no, i dont feel that sorry for him and i wouldn't invite him around if i didnt like him[/quote]

Wow. So many people here with this empathy-free, compassion-free attitude.

You must all have perfect families, or at least families without a single toxic person, families with no one who has ever abused you, or just been a jerk, or who wants to talk controversy/politics/whatever is noxious and holiday-wrecking, around the dinner table.

Lucky you, to be so fortunate, and so blithely smug.

And before you start saying, "Suck it up for one day!" blah blah....You must not know anyone who has real and serious reasons for "choosing not to spend time with" family. That choice is sometimes made out of self-preservation. Again: You have zero idea how fortunate you are, and you likely think you're noble and wonderful for "choosing to spend time with" your relatives you don't care for much but, hey, they're [i]family.[/i] And you think that's sacred....[/quote]
