[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIl insisted on hosting (we alternate years celebrating with DH’s family and mine, we always host when it’s my family, but MIL or SIL like to host on their years). MIL insisted no one show up until an exact set time (like a PP’s mother).

Upon arrival, we were immediately hustled to the dining room for dinner. Dinner was - salmon and roasted potatoes and asparagus.

When asked what happened to all of the/our traditional Thanksgiving dishes, she said she “just doesn’t feel like cooking Thanksgiving foods any longer.”

SIL (MIL’s 42 year old daughter) pitched a screaming and crying fit that she would have hosted had she known we wouldn’t be served Thanksgiving dishes, and went into her childhood bedroom to sulk.

The rest of SIL’s family, my family and FIL sat at the table, partly dumbfounded at the food on the table and partly frozen in place listening to MIL and SIL scream at each other through the bedroom door.

On a bright note, the apple and pumpkin pies I brought were a hit! [/quote]

Team SIL. WTF was MIL thinking? Very selfish on her part. [/quote]

This has been hotly debated in past years. Yes the host can serve what they want, but for Thanksgiving it is essential to give warning if they will not be serving "Thanksgiving". It was settled and is DCUM canon. MIL was wrong for not providing this info. [/quote]

Just proves the family isn’t close and doesn’t talk to each other or they all would have known in advance.[/quote]

Um no if someone says they are hosting Thanksgiving that means the traditional meal unless explicitly stated. And if you said salmon I’d say no thanks and we’ll see you another time. [/quote]
