[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand how you feel. I’d perhaps reply to suggest that as she feels strongly about this, it would be best if she host the family dinner. Then she can prepare things as she wishes and maybe CC the rest of the family. I share your feelings about the holiday dinners; I’ve hosted for most holidays over the last 20 years. I don’t want to do it any more; in fact I’ve come to dread the holidays as all I do is clean, shop, cook and then clean up again afterwards. No one else is stepping up, but I’m done. I want to relax and enjoy some old movies, bake cookies and chill so I can enjoy them too. It’s unfair to put the burden on the same person over and over, she’s out of line. [/quote]

I'm so with you! I want a holiday without chapped hands.  And, I married outside my faith so I have twice the number of holidays I should, and twice the opportunity to work my butt off for ungrateful people.[/quote]

As an aside, I wore gloves this Thanksgiving for almost the entire prep of the meal.  For the first time ever, my hands didn't nearly disintegrate, and I didn't use a whole tube of hand cream that evening/next day.  Seriously, try it.  I bought a box of medical latex gloves, and changed them a lot or washed, but kept my hands dry and out of the line of fire. [/quote]

Thanks. As long as you can drink with gloves on, great idea!
