wasn't there one about someone waking up to find human shite on the floor after a hard night of partying?

I’m sure I’ll have some stories. I’m at my in laws and they are divorced, get along great and it’s been many years but there’s always bs. Last year my mom got drunk and fell on some stairs and broke her nose…
In the car on the way up for the week my wife decided to tell me that ‘they’ decided we get my MIL for Xmas this year because next year is the sister in laws first year without her kids due to the recent divorce. Apparently she needs both divorced parents to be with next year….Xmas is the one Holiday I absolutely refuse to have any family with because it’s our time with our kids and all the grandparents are always with us all the time.

During Covid we had a poster who had family that would eat outside because of the virus.
Bonus story: for Christmas they wouldn't let anyone in the house so we opened presents in the garage with the doors up. In-laws wore masks and wouldn't sit with us for longer that 10 minutes at a time. Fun times.

Have they found shame for this behavior yet?

This will be the first Thanksgiving without my mother. It's going to be a "get through it as best you can" kind of day for me.

I fly back from Thailand tomorrow. Total coincidence to get back the day before Thanksgiving too.

Had my wife’s cousins invite themselves over for thanksgiving because they just got back from Bali and they are too tired to cook. Couple with a 6 and 10 yr who are the worst two kids I’ve ever dealt with. I literally hate the 6 year old boy. His parents never correct him and he is such a little a-hole. I truly believe he will become a serial killer...I told the wife we should start using his middle name to give him a head start.
I have two nieces like this. We longer attend the family gatherings at all.

You gotta wait until New Year's Day for shitting on the baker's rack stories.

I never have any drama but here recently, had my gay, married niece (whom we all love) send a text in the family group text that if anyone brings up Trump they’re going to leave with no discussions.
Just randomly as if anyone talks politics at our family gatherings. We never do. Especially at my house.
Really uncalled for and it was really directed at one person. Should have been a text to that person and just a request to not bring it up.
But she took the scenic route instead.

This year's Thankgiving thread should have some especially good drama at the dinner table considering we're coming hot off of the presidential election!

How quickly after they arrive will it be brought up now since the text?

This might be the first year I have something to add to this one fellas.
But it will happen the Friday after. We are going to drive to Austin to visit my wife's Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, and her husband. Although they are all very liberal, we have always gotten along with them really well. We just don't talk politics. It helps that the cousin's husband is more moderate and looks up to me like a big brother. (his real big brother is a flaming leftist who always treats him like shite).
My wife loves these people more than her own family in some ways. She and her cousin are like sisters. Or, had been. They had a kid 4 years ago and since then the cousin has been all about raising the baby, can't even take time to answer a short text, and only reaches out to my wife when she's in melt down mode. Added to raising a new baby, the cousin has the added stress of a husband who's got Spina Bifida and it's gotten really bad. He's in a wheel chair now, in constant pain, and can't really do much for himself or the kid. Also added to that is her mother, the Aunt, has had heart problems over the last 4 months and is losing her mind too. The uncle's health is also failing and he expects the cousin to wait on him hand and foot.
So needless to say, the cousin is under a LOT of stress. Normally my wife would be her source of comfort and my wife likes being there for her.
But, here's where the possible drama gets sparked off. This 4 year boy of theirs is the most spoiled little shitstain of a brat I've ever seen. Because they are liberal Austinites, they are raising this kid in the worst way. He rules the house. There is zero discipline, zero effort to correct this kid when he's misbehaving, and complete protection of him when anyone voices displeasure over what Litte Lord Fauntleroy is doing.
Both my wife and I come from traditional families with firm yet fair father figures who set the rules and enforced them. But the cousin is an only child from liberal parents and her husband is just too wrapped up in his own misery to be the Man of the house.
I've already told my wife "Look, I love them, but I will NOT put up with the kid misbehaving towards me or you. If they want to put up with it, that's on them. But he's going to get straight if he pulls that with either of us."
Surprisingly, she agreed LOL.
The kid is a terror and although they call me "Uncle Tyger", so he's my "nephew", I feel no sympathy towards his antics.
SO, Friday could be post worthy. Stand by.

I’d make some obnoxious passive aggressive signs.
“PSA: no talking about Trump’s historic win against the worst un-democratically selected candidate of all time.” Etc.
Just to make sure everyone respects her wishes.

My Thanksgiving will be boring. Wife and I are going to my parents to eat, sister and her boyfriend are coming from New Orleans.
Will eat and drink and then go home. If we went to Arkansas to my grandparents like usual it would be more interesting with the whole extended family but grandparents aren’t doing well and didn’t want the stress this year

anecdotally, it seems like millennials love having one kid and letting him/her run the house

That sounds horrible. Did they open presents with gloves on?
