[quote=Anonymous]OP, that sucks. I wouldn't allow this to deter you from doing so in future, but go into it better prepared with assignments for your brother, your uncle, and dad. Also request that they take turns with Candyland while you and your DH keep on top of the meal, the younger one, etc. My MIL is very good about reminding everyone, "get your drinks before you sit down." No one dares ask her after that announcement nor should they. My SIL often hosts Thanksgiving. I usually bring items in the dessert/salad range as per her requests. I then stand next to the sink for most of the prep time, sometimes over an evening and Thanksgiving day, and handle that end of the work. I generally enjoy it as most people are in/near the kitchen and it also keeps down the clutter as the meal is served from the adjoining counter. BIL handles the after meal dishes though I make myself available to dry large items.[/quote]
