I put other...meaning: I held myself back sooo many times

@irene: Boo that!

This was actually our best Thanksgiving since DH & I started dating 4 years ago. No issues with any family, extended, or IL.

@irene: Omgosh, no way:( I don't blame you. That'd cause me to cry too to be honest...

@irene: I'm sorry.

My family was pretty great. I do have teenage special needs cousin that is kind of obsessed with breastfeeding. She always tries to watch me do it and asks me all sorts of questions about it while I do it. Every time. There's no where to go for privacy so I packed my cover specifically for her but she sat down right next to me and stared down the hole. Then she called out things like, "I see her on your nipple." I don't think anyone else apprecited the play by play. It just seems so odd because she pays no attention to LO except when she's feeding. Ah, family.

I was totally exhausted after getting 4 hours of sleep, and have been battling a nasty cold. DD has seemed extra whiney lately and was refusing to go down for a nap at my parents' house. She would sleep on me but then cry when I put her down, which she hasn't done since she was a newborn. I lost it. I started crying. My mom took over and made me lay down to take a nap. When DH got home I broke down and cried to him and later said I needed a vacation from DD. I think we were both just overtired and cranky.

Nope, not this year. ILs were in and out in less than 2 hours. All good over here.

I voted other because the day itself was really good but my grandma asked to come over this morning and usually when she invites herself over it's to tell me I've gained too much weight, I'm an alcoholic or I'm not bing a good wife and my hub won't want to stay with me...stay tuned

I voted other. Dh had to work and we were totally exhausted from him not having the prior weekend off either. We had our own thanksgiving and in retrospect am glad we did!

well, i had an unpleasant incident, but it wasn't anyone's fault. i thought i was coming down with a UTI wednesday, but it seemed better thursday morning, but then it came back in full force during thanksgiving dinner at my brother's. he offered me pepto 'cause he thought i was running to the bathroom every 5 mins for a different reason... awkward. oh well. no family drama though, which was nice.

I love my mom but she is so negative and obsesses over the stupidest things sometimes. We make homemade gravy from the turkey renderings. Well, this year, somehow there wasn't a ton but there were a bunch of people over. She had some store bought gravy she was trying to get everybody to eat so she could have "the good stuff" but obviously nobody was going for that and she was freaking out because she wanted some and yet refused to get her food until everybody was done and said everybody was taking it all so she couldn't have any... really? I just snapped and told her to stop bitching and eat. She didn't like that.... Oh well. We moved on pretty quick.

@sorrycharlie: it went REALLY well!!! I even called my dad and asked if she had anything up her sleeve, I guess we caught her on a good day. DH stayed in the basement until she was leaving, just in case lol

@irene: I'm sorry that happened. I voted no, but can I change my vote? FIL has decided he hates my dog (so by extension my preggo self feels like he now hates me) so when he came over today I took my furry friend and didn't come back home until he left!

Yup, my mom. Long story short, she/my parents have decided to start splitting costs when we go out anywhere - them and my sister versus me and DH. And my mom literally counts to every cent. Yeah...
