[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I commute for work more than 50 miles each way. [b]So it's not like you have to "travel" for Thanksgiving to see them. They want to cook you a nice meal and have you over to socialize and somehow you took offense to this? You could be back in your own bed by 10:00 pm. You could also cook a nice meal for your family on Friday or Saturday[/b]. No idea what boundary you were trying to enforce. Like you just didn't want to be expected to endure a nice cooked meal with your parents?? The horrors. I mean, you do you but this is silly.[/quote]

Or she could cook the meal ON the holiday in her own damn home.[/quote]

True. But she doesn’t have to be such a little jerk about it. The way she “invited” the parents was so childish.[/quote]

In what way? She knew her parents expected them to travel for the holiday and she let her mom know they would be staying home but her parents were welcome to join. What is childish about that? It sounds like her mom handled it poorly even thought is a very normal thing to do.[/quote]
