Brother in law who abandoned his kids because new wifey did not like them and their rude little boy are going to be there. They refussed to come if his other children were invited. And I have a feeling she is going to annonce she is pregnant. I am not allowed to see their first child, why bother telling me?
The same girl told my husband I was ruining her marriage because my brother in law was on a group text that wished everyone a good day.
I may need to bring some salt for the tounge.. LOL

Families are complicated at the best of times. This woman obviously has control issues and is insecure.
Just be yourself and have a great time. She isn't going to be happy with you one way or another so don't pick up the rope.
Don't forget to smile at the boy you aren't allowed to see! The chances of him being there are very high and really congratulate them (and be sincere) when the announcement arrives. Babies bring joy.
Thanksgiving is for everyone... it's about wonderful things and giving thanks. Enjoy!

I enjoy T-day as a time to remember the good times and being grateful that I don’t have to endure a moment of their onerous attitudes or they, mine. When T-day became the day of torture, torment and testy tap dancing over grave stones, it’s time to make the occasion a happy one by doing loving things for yourself and others who you adore and who adore you as well. Each day is like a stepping stone to the next and knowing how slippery T-day can be, wouldn’t you rather use this day to step forward and up into a a happy adventure?

Yuk, doesn't sound too appealing to me. I would go and just keep in conversation with the family you enjoy. You really don't have to get involved with their crap. A bloody tounge and turkey won't go well so I suggest you just stuff some stuffing in your mouth and give it a new meaning for stuffing...lol;)

he got married and was no longer allowed to hold their hands in public or sit next the them at home... THey were 7 and 4. AZS thethe little girl got older she was constantly told she was fat and lazy. And the boy was not allowed to sleep in his own bed at dads house becuase they didnt want him to mess up the room. (it was shared with their son) So he had to sleep on the floor in the living room. Oh the stories I could tell.... But I am going to make T day as easy going as possible for the ma and pa inlaw.

Your brother in law is a dipshit . Tell him to kiss off. If he doesn't like it...... get someone to kick his ass.

I would ring both their necks and then deep fry their heads just like a Turkey, but not before I tell them to go FU*K Themselves! I 've dealt with the stupidity of family members ruining Thanksgiving and Christmas all my life. I will Not allow myself to suffer through another family get together just to please certain family members and piss off and be made to feel guilty by the rest. Especially on a day like today where we should reflect on our friends and family and the blessings that we've been given. If I understand what Jenn wrote above, her brother-in-law and his wife have already ruined this holiday for the rest of the family because they are inconsiderate, ungrateful, people who care about no others feelings or happiness on this day or any other day. Why would any family allow worthless people like this to have their own selfish way today? These are the two people who have no business being at this family gathering because of their attitude towards others. They should have been told from the start to enjoy this holiday somewhere else and then invite his kids-the ones he abandoned for this B!tch.

I guess the old saying that you can pick your friends, but you are kind of stuck with who is family is pretty much true. Don't feel alone, as in every major holiday I end up pushed to the side. My wife's family is supposedly so damm perfect...yet they treat each other so much like shit when they when they are not wanting something. It's absolutely pathetic! Selective memory plays a big part here! I've grown use to it, Today I just walk away, knowing in my heart I'm not like them! Thank God!!! In my estimates of all of them....they're all just just chicken shit cowards, as not a damm one of them ever even tried to something like serving their country. To me, that's a pretty much foundational thing, in that you at least stand up willing to give your life, to protect all those you and that you care about. I was a 17 year old boy when I made that decision. and to me their attitude just makes me nauseous. I don't know, other than I seem to be a pretty gullible asshole. It really sadddens my heart, but one day I'am going to voice it...and simply walk away from the whole disgustung mess!

Oh Jenn - whata mess. I won't tell you not to go, because you have already decided to go. Just remember all this sh#t has nothing to do with you. Smile, be pleasant, and psyche them out. Politely leave when dinner is over (I hope they are serving wine!!) ... in other words, eat and run!!!!!!!!!!! and run really fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come you have to spend the day with a brother-in-law? If you are divorced, he's not your brother-in-law if he is related to your ex-husband. If he was married to your sister, he isn't now if he has a new wife.
In any case, stay away from the little monster. You aren't obligated to shower him with anything. Glom onto the people you enjoy and be cordial to the rest. Bummer on the menu, though....tongue instead of turkey......

Comment of the day... " No one but Memphis, (there child is getting anything for Christmas, we pay child support, and we just don't have the money". .....Oh it gets better, she opened a sales paper for bacl friday and showed my brother in law what she was getting her sister and best friend.... LOL.....
Glad to hear the day went well. It sounds like she is a piece of work. Bet your hubby found more reasons to be thankful he married you!!!
