Title: Avoiding family on thanksgiving
Post by: calfzilla on November 26, 2009, 02:54:18 PM
Ok, so all of us dread family on this holiday and do whatever we can to avoid them.  What are your reason's for not wanting to spend time with your family?

Hmm. Non-issue. Reason why booze is so popular during the holidays...which leads to other issues.

Well, well. Seems like I'm not the only plagiarizer on this board. I always suspected that JJN's stuff was just too good to all come from him. But it works well for him. It's not like we Getbiggers are an especially informed and well read crowd.

Actually, the religion line I stole from Artie Lange.

However, all my other material is mine

Most of my relatives here are not immediate family and come from my mother's side and they're all from the Philippines. And the rest are friends and relatives of my cousin's wife and they're from Laos. I don't really have a whole lot in common with them. I just smile and nod as they marvel at how tall I seem to them. I constantly duck out of the living room to go to my uncle's home office and surf the net. It's only 3:30 PM here and we don't eat until 5. The crew from Lao always keeps turning off the a/c because they like the room hot. Can't they just bring a sweater? I'm already in shorts. There's not much you can do when it's hot.

To tell you the truth I just want to go home. Last Thanksgiving I actually made an excuse not to come and spent the day at the beach. But it's raining today and I can't ditch them twice in a row.

It's funny. There's always this brief awkward moment when I return to the festivities. As soon as I appear in the doorway all eyes turn to me as if wondering why I keep leaving the room. I just smile and say, "How's everything going?" Then I find a place to sit and fidget for a while. I set the ringer on my cell this time so I acted like I had a call and had to leave the room.

OK, another hour and fifteen minutes to kill until we eat then try to figure out a way to make a graceful exit.

They would feel insulted that I would make a date on Thanksgiving. I usually have one of my brothers and his wife to commiserate with but he went to the mainland to spend Thanksgiving with his wife's family. So it's just me and I'm so out of place here. God, I can hear them asking about me right now in the other room. "Hey, where's Pellius? I think he's in the bathroom. Is he OK"?

It's only going to make it ever the more awkward when I reappear. Come on, God, where's the typhoon when we need one?

You should just leave for a while then return with some BS item like a pie, soap, or beverage of some kind and say you went out to get that and had a hard time finding it or the line was real long.

I have this one, I think uncle, who is over 75. He's a bit of a grump, as I guess we will all be when we hit 75, and he sits at the main table (the one I studiously avoid). He looks at me then laboriously and painfully rises from his chair and makes his way towards me. (Dear God, no!)

"So what happened to your face?" referring to the minute shiner I have over my right eye.
"Oh, I got bumped in the face," I reply, avoiding eye contact.
"What do you mean bumped? How do you bump your face?"
"I was horsing around and took a head butt?"
"Head butt? How? From one of the kids?"
"No, I still do that Jiu-Jitsu thing every now and then?"
"What? What Jew-Jew? What are you talking about?"
"It's kind of like Judo and Wrestling."
"What? You do that with other men? Why do you do stuff like that? Stop it."
"Yah, you're probably right?"
"What's wrong with you? You still exercise?"
"Can't you tell?" as I kind of do a most muscular in an attempt at humor.
"What? What are you talking about?" he replies with this angry frustrated look on his face.

Dear God, please strike with a coma for the next five hours. I don't really like turkey that much.

Believe me. I have been pleading all day if anybody needs anything? Ice? Chips? More beer? Anything and I will get it.

"Oh no! No need to leave. We have everything right here. We have enough food and drinks to last for weeks."

My Lord, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Oh no, more people are coming in and speaking that grating Southeast Asian language that always sounds like they're arguing. Do I remain hidden or do I suck it up and show some manners and greet them?

Either your family is bad.. and you don’t want to see them.. Or you are bad… and they do not want to see you.  

It’s a lose either way.

Or you’re a selfish little fuck that would rather satisfy your own desires then participate in a family get together that would mean the world to your family members.

Family is a valuable, special thing to have.. You’re lucky if you have family that loves you.  

You should bite the bullet and give them some face time.

Dude, man the fuck up, grow a set, and go out to the store to get some more pie or beer!  Jeebus, you don't need anybodys permission to go to the fucking store!  If they give you any grief tell them you had a craving for said item.  Geez!!!

No, EVERBODY is spoiled. He's the type that likes to talk about how he had to walk ten miles bare feet on hot coals just to go to his class room located in a volcano. And for lunch he had a pig's head that he chopped off himself. And he was grateful for it and thanked God for his good fortune.

I bet if he was a juicer he would have just grinded up some testicles from a wild boar and mix it with his own spit and shoot it right into his ass through a bamboo shoot.

God, the longer I stay hidden the more awkward it will be when I reappear for "dinner."

Umm don't worry about your son James, it's perfectly ok for a man to date any race of woman he wants.  Just if you have a daughter that's another story.  No such thing as a male mudshark.  It's called a double standard.

Well, with my girlfriends family they're trash and very rude. I was raised to be polite so I have a problem with that.They would never say hello or speak to me at all the entire time I was there. Now if I treated their daughter badly was verbally or physically abusive or was a bum and didn't work I could understand. I also help raise and support her three children she had from a prior relationship. I got sick and tired of spending hours being bored sitting in front of the tv and feeling unwanted so I just refused to go over there anymore...problem solved. It is the exact opposite with my family they make her feel welcome and loved. My girlfriend sides with me and used to get in arguments with her mother even confronting the family but to this day hasn't got a real answer. I'll never understand people feeling like they have to visit their bitchy mother in law or family members that are assholes even if it's their parents. If they make you feel shitty or unwelcome fuck the scum. Life's to short for that shit. I choose to spend my time with people who care about me and like me for me.

Yeah, I don't understand that.  I would never date a girl with kids from another guy, especially 3!   :o   Maybe I am just immature, but that is my policy and I have no intentions on changing that.  F**k raising another man's kid.  You must be a real good man cross.

x2 all the way!

My parents kicked me out at 18.  We argued a lot, but the only thing I ever did that caused them grief was got a couple of MIP's.   For that I was told by my father growing up that it wasn't his job to love me, and that when I turned 18 he didn't care if I lived in my car or by a dumpster.....just get out.  He was also classy enough to threaten not to come to his mother's funeral while I had taken off work and been out of state helping my uncle with funeral arrangements for a week.  All the way role model right there.  I've tried making it work, feeling like I had an obligation since they were my parents but after the funeral thing that was it.  Haven't spoken to them for two years, and doubt I ever will again.   I totally understand where you are coming from.  The times I tried and would go home for the holidays I felt like it was the first time in "their" home as though I'd never lived there.  I feel so much better having not gone around them for awhile.  The only thing I hate is when people ask you what are you doing/ how was your holiday and you feel like you have to fake it, cuz it's non of their business to have to explain it all.

My parents kicked me out at 18.  We argued a lot, but the only thing I ever did that caused them grief was got a couple of MIP's.   For that I was told by my father growing up that it wasn't his job to love me, and that when I turned 18 he didn't care if I lived in my car or by a dumpster.....just get out.  He was also classy enough to threaten not to come to his mother's funeral while I had taken off work and been out of state helping my uncle with funeral arrangements for a week.  All the way role model right there.  I've tried making it work, feeling like I had an obligation since they were my parents but after the funeral thing that was it.  Haven't spoken to them for two years, and doubt I ever will again.   I totally understand where you are coming from.  The times I tried and would go home for the holidays I felt like it was the first time in "their" home as though I'd never lived there.  I feel so much better having not gone around them for awhile.  The only thing I hate is when people ask you what are you doing/ how was your holiday and you feel like you have to fake it, cuz it's non of their business to have to explain it all.

Good post man.  Lots of honesty.  I agree, just because someone is your parent by blood don't mean shit.  They need to act the part or else you should just have nothing to do with them.

Yeah, I don't understand that.  I would never date a girl with kids from another guy, especially 3!   :o   Maybe I am just immature, but that is my policy and I have no intentions on changing that.  F**k raising another man's kid.  You must be a real good man cross. 

I know.  I find myself in a similar perdicament, hard choices if you like the girl.  I just cant see with all the drama it being worth it. :-\

I'm sure it's not.  Wise up bro, there is other pussy out there; pussy that hasn't shot out an 8lb ham.

a member of my wife's family has some colon problems.

thanksgiving dinner + colon problems + him ripping ass every 20 seconds for an hour+ surrounded by inlaws = shitty thanksgiving (no pun intended).
I doubt he would have colon problems if you could keep your penis out of there "PowerManBear".

LOL yeah good points, her 8lb hams did not come out through the pussy though so thats still intact.  When you really like a person for more than the pussy it does make the decision harder though. I agree with lots of the things you said on this and yes raising another dudes kids is much different and more frustrating than raising your own.  Just way too much BS to deal with IMO.  With your own offspring things are natural and you can parent them how you see fit, plus they are your kids, you made them, not some other asshole.  You will be much more tolerant of your own children when they are PITA which is most of the time from what i have observed.

you will get rejected by the kid and you will reject him and basically you ll both be fighting for the mother as he grow up. She may prefer her kid instead of you, or the oposite, but all in all it's years of nonsensical drama.  Have your own kids... raising someone's else son or daughter = epic fail in the end, especially nowadays. He's never ever going to consider you his legitimate father and you re never ever going to consider him your legitimate son.

Yes all good points to consider and they happen all the time.  Now that Im older I think its just as important to look at the chances of something working out long run before you get in too deep.  Like someone said you just dont hook up with someone long term and hope "love" will get you through and make things worthwhile, thats in the movies and fairytales. As someone said the playing field should be more even for both people to get any satisfaction out of it. Thanks.

On the flip side I've got a friend that met a girl as her marriage was falling apart with two kids.  He was 40 and she was 28.  Pretty much all the components for failure.  The kids love him to death and he'd do anything for them as well.  They had a son together about 7 years ago, and while you can tell there's a different bond there (of course) you never see him treat them any different.  They've been happily married for 10 years now so you never know.  My point is I wouldn't take too much advice from people on this site as a lot of them are very young, and still caught up in playing the macho pussy magnet card.  The only thing I would say is that if she has three kids already, you need to look at how many of your own you'd like to have.  Is she willing to have that many more?  Can you afford to support that many should the two of you get married?  You can't buy things for only the kids you have together or the entire family will be fucked up beyond belief.  Just my $.02

All true, but my personal experience, and observing those of others, is that the women will always put the child first. This may be partly to ease the pain or just be sensitive to how a child will feel from having another man on the scene or whatever but it's not a good situation. Also, don't forget the biological father. If he's always looming on the scene it just adds another obstacle to the situation. And not a small one.

Of course, if she doesn't give a crap about her kid's feelings and her ex wants nothing to do with his child then she's probably a POS character wise and again it's a lose-lose situation.

I'm sure there are exceptions but it's an uphill battle.

Yes good point and I have considered it could be rewarding in some areas.  Im 46 though and she (44) can not have any more kids so i will never have my own if I stay with her.  Agree if I could add one or two of my own into the mix it might be different.  She has 2 kids both under 7 years old, the dad is also involved and a bit of a deadbeat and the two of them are always fighting with each other. Dont forget you also inherit a bitter ex in the deal too, and when the kiddies cry out "I wanna talk to daddy" you just get this warm tingly feeling inside, just feels bad and you would think things should not be so hard cause any way you slice it there will be plenty of drama.  People that can pull it off are out there but very rare.

Please for your own sake get out!  I'm sure she is a great person, but it's just not worth it.  Like you said, sometimes the above situations work out but are very rare.  Better to get out now and avoid a serious case of the regrets.

After reading that, I would probably agree that it's not worth it.  If the dad is a deadbeat, you still want kids, and there is drama there's no way it's going to be worth it when those kids hit their teens and are rebelling cuz their real dad sucks.  All the drama will be yours, like the dad got in your car and just took a big shit on your seat and left.

Run far....run fast.

Get out now while you can - there will be less hurt and less time wasted in the long run.

This can only end badly.
