You are right they are not. Foot fungus, sweat, whatever I'd on their floor at home when they walked around before they went out, etc.

Why would old people feel the need to marry? So that the new spouse gets all the money instead of their own kids?
The rest is just icing on the cake of that…

As people get older it gets harder to clean esp floors very well for many reasons. Just take off your shoes.

Wow, didn't expect these responses. I guess I should just know the audience.

Anyway, my siblings and I have decided we will stop by for a shoe free drink but we will then go to my house where thanksgiving will be held.

So the group reaction to losing one parent is to shut out the remaining one because you don't agree with her life choices. Very mature OP. You and your siblings deserve each other.

You are right, we do.

My mom's hsband's reaction to us texting HER was to send a nasty, cursing text to my brother telling him not to come.

So, now, none of us are going. They can enjo their day in their socks all by themselves. The other 16 people will be at mu house.

What did you text her? That you hate her husband and his shoe-free policy?

Youre really willing to throw your relationship with your mom out over not wearing shoes for a few hours?? Are you f#cking kidding me? How old are you? This is something a 9 year old would do, not a grown person.

I don't see why you'd all skip thanksgiving over this. I would have gone and just kept my shoes on

Shenanigans like this will lead to her leaving the house to your stepfather rather than you sorry excuses for children.

Oh no not the house! 🙄

There are legal ways around that

But dear old grandma might miss out on her grandchildren not putting a stop to her husband's shenanigans

I know that you grew up in that home & can understand your misgivings on this issue OP, but now that this man is married to your Mother it is now his home as well.

And if he requests a shoeless house, then it is only the right thing to do to do as he wishes.

Plus if you decline to follow his wishes - it could lead to a miserable Thanksgiving dinner which isn’t worth ruining over a simple request to remove your shoes.

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 Day today to all of you!

They aren’t. It’s stinky and gross to be in a house full of socked people, but be prepared for hysterical screeds about “OMG DOG FECES!!!” from the anti-shoe crazies.

And now they will be predictable and retort that THEIR feet aren’t sweaty and don’t smell, and if mine do, I should see a doctor, which is all nonsense, of course.

No it’s not. For generations; millions and millions of people have worn shoes in their house and suffered no ill effects from it.

No, people throughout history have been very dirty and unhealthy and have died young of easily preventable conditions. Part of the reason you live longer is a generally healthier environment, and this includes not dragging in dog fecal matter with your shoes.

Please get some help for your neuroses.

Anyway, you just go with the new rules, OP. Not only is it a very minor change, but it's also a change for the BETTER.

No, it isn’t. Anti-shoe crazies are ridiculous.

not OP (ask Jeff)

Fake. If this actually happened, you would have been back here in a hot minute posting.

Bring slippers, or warm socks, and be grateful your mother has good taste!

Uh, no. DP.
