[quote=Anonymous]Stop asking for his support. You will never get it. He can’t give it.

Stop tolerating the boorish behavior! You and your husband are frozen like deer in the headlights because you don’t want to be rude. Look there is nothing that an unfiltered selfish boomer loves more than younger relatives who won’t stop them because they are afraid of being rude. Gracious manners do not work around people like this.

Call and tell him that you are not hosting him for Thanksgiving. If you are too chicken to stand your ground, tell him you are traveling.

When you do host him, do not take him to any restaurants! Be clear up front that you are budgeting so there will be no restaurant trips. If you do take out, do not ask what he wants. You know from over the years what he will and will not eat. Just order it, take it out of the containers and put it into serving dishes as if you made it. Don’t let him shop at Whole Foods on your dime. You can ask in advance what he might like being clear that you will not be taking him. You can decide what you want from the list. [/quote]
