THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING OF ALL DAYS!
My immediate family is unvaccinated, the rest of my family is vaccinated.
They want all 3 of us (even our 1 year old) to produce negative tests before attending, which we're not willing to do.
So... it looks like my family will be having our Thanksgiving with you wonderful bastards instead!
God Bless!
EDIT: As this has reached the top page, and some people think I was the one to inform my family about the Covid case.
My family and I run a business together, my father is the owner, and the local hospital informed him when one of his employees tested positive, that employee happened to work in my building that I manage, he then uninvited us to Thanksgiving.
The year my husband and I started doing Thanksgiving for our own immediate family (and quit worrying about trying to please our impossible-to-please extended families) was the year we learned holidays can be peaceful and enjoyable.
God bless your family and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thats my boundry too, no extended family on holiday. Before is fine, but not on the actual day. Too many personalities spoil the fun. Happy Thanksgiving!
This will be our first with just our household, Thanksgiving dinner has always been at Grandma's house with the whole family gathered around the table, I'm hoping this goes well and it may be the new normal!
I wouldn't want to be around vaccinated right now. They are dropping like flies. My one neighbor was on a stretcher this morning, vaxxed.
Another neighbor first in line to get clot shots with nurse daughters in April, all in hospitals or badly sick with covid.
You might have saved your families life.
No that’s ridiculous, there are plenty of good excuses but that’s not the argument to use. If the vax makes these idiots produce spikes then it’s one more thing the unvaxxed immune system learns to fight off and we’re all better off for it. Don’t make shitty excuses not to spend time with family.
OP I’m sorry your in laws are hysterical sheep and they’d cast their own blood out like that.
I just spoke with my aunt and her friends parents all got 3rd booster and are dead!!
I'm not saying an excuse but countdown has begun. Hoping OP sees his family soon before dark winter hits.
Good move! When our children were toddlers we moved about a thousand miles away from extended family. We started our very own holiday traditions and never looked back. Even when we moved back and were geographically close to relatives, we still did our own thing. Never regretted not having family drama and everything that goes with it. Have a great Thanksgiving!
If you had a football field filled with people shoulder to shoulder & front to back, my sister and brother would find the most weird, obnoxious people and marry them.
I remember family dinners before (only I had kids) being dull, dry, tense, with everybody bragging about how important their jobs were or how they had the BEST doctors who are not accepting more patients and insulting zingers from my sister-in-law to me and insulting zingers from my brother-in-law to my husband. I always left with pent-up raging anger that lasted for days.
I opted out before my kids were born, because I knew there would be a nuclear war if anyone said anything disparaging about them. Since that time I have enjoyed every holiday with my husband and two sons. Distancing myself is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Happy Thanksgiving Frens. :)
Me and wife did the same. Got tired of the bickering, “this is our family, not there family” garbage. Now, people come to my house for Thanksgiving. Open to all. Friends, family, in-laws, divorced, even Democrats allowed(😁), and now as of late, vax and non vax, my house is for those who have nowhere to go...and this year, I had to find more chairs we got so many incoming. I’ve learned you have to lead from the front, not the rear. Do something. People will follow.
Have a blessed day fellow Anons. And even if you are by yourself today, your never alone. Give thanks for all you are and have. Be thankful to God.
👍🙏❤️
I'm just happy my family of vaccinated people are on the "it should be a choice" train.
