The whole trip sucked. Coming down there and revisiting with family after a 2 year hiatus reminded me why it took me so many years to lose my virginity. I listened to my grandmother and mom rant and rave how fat and ugly i had gotten in the last 2 years (205lbs in single digit bf.. probably 9-10%). For some reason i didn't think telling them it was test bloat would help my cause. I then had to eat dinner at my grandmothers while my aunt brings her tumor ridden dog that is on the verge of dying, yet the insist on keeping it alive like Terry Shiavo with steroids and multiple surgeries. It was totally blind and as i watched it stumble around the room and my Mom cutting the tukery i slowly lost my appetite.
My autistic second cousin was running around telling everyone the TV would be working properly in a few minutes and my whole right wing conservative side of the family ranted about the Rapture and how they were all stocking up canned foods for the event. Me and my dad ate in disgust in a private room away from the rest of the family. I hate these family get togethers. Why do we have them :(

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha haha!
You're no different than most people...Sadly I avoid everyone and just stick with my wife...I may call and give my wishes but I'm not going to have my weekend ruined...I love them but they are on a different planet and they get pissed when you don't agree...

Damn man. My family is supportive as shit. Maybe it is you?

I get nervous before these events too. I don't think it is me so much. I just smile and nod. I don't really speak unless spoken to but i occasionally prod around to see where everyone is at in life. I mostly like listening to the elders and their stories but they are usually drowned out by the young and their stupid dribble about the muslim obama and how the world is going to end. One time we hosted the dinner at our house and sure enough my stupid uncle sneaks in a family prayer. Me and my dad gave each other side ways looks and chuckled and let them do their mumba jumba ceremony. I glanced over at my brother to see him bow his head out of respect which i gave him hell for when they left.

hahahah great post - I like to read stuff like that :D

Funny, and very familiar to me. I actually only live about 10 miles away from my parents and sister, and have only talked to my parents once in the last two+ years. I sent my sis a text to wish her a happy turkey day and that was good enough for me. Oddly enough, I went to my gf's parent's for thxgiving for the first time after only dating for about three months and it was probably the best holiday I've had in over 10 years.

GREAT post! Thanks for posting this and having the courage to express your feelings on this subject.
I don't go to any Thanksgiving get-togthers myself . I went to an ECHL hokcey game with my wife on T-day. ;)
My 79 yr old mom , still does the turkey dinner with all the fixin's. She had 21 extended family members in her small place for dinner.
I visit her in the summer and spend a few days hanging out and enjoying some quality time with her when it is less hectic.
The few family members I do keep in touch with are ones that I enjoy seeing.
I just don't don't go out of my way for people who don't see or talk to me on a regular basis.
Just because some person may have some obscure geteic copnnection is not any reason for eitehr of us to feel compelled to spenmd the holidays together.
Solution for those that feel miserbale and hate the t-day experience- DON'T go! ;)
You will geta little bit of grief at first, but those that love you will accept it and just be sure to find a time to see them at some point each yr.

A man I can relate to. Good post!
I live 1300 miles from where I grew up ( NH) and my mom still lives.
We live a good 500 miles from my wife's mom in La and only go down for Christmas for 3-4 days.
I hit the local gyms I used to work out at and run into some of the various muscleheads I used to compete with, etc

Its a proven fact that if a person grows up in a very supportive family and isn't making a half million dollars+ a year by the age of 30, than (in most subjects) they probably are a loser. The poor and middle class is filled with fucked up moms and dads who crush the dreams of their kids early on.

Sounds like a quality family.....plus if most of the guys posting in the thread were my relatives, I wouldn't want to go either.....

I actually would go. It would be like a TRON or Dungeon and Dragons meets gym rats kind of affair.

the irony is that i'm a hot mess yet I have the most drama free thanksgiving every year

I know a lot of you give me shit, but that is classic getbig.
The ironic thing is I bet a lot of us would enjoy hanging out and cutting up at a BB meet, expo or whatever.
No "getbig", I am not looking for a homo love fest or sexual 3 way with some of you. :o

Haha ;D
every holiday is like that.it's a tradition on who gets what holiday.it's a running joke in our family that when house shopping you need to look for a place with a big enough room to sit everybody in case someone dies and they need to take over a holiday ;D

Thanks for making me feel better about myself, no matter how much my parents piss me off, it's better than being an orphan, that's 50 pounds underweight.
P.S. my families members all have small ears/noses.

But aren't you the guy who doesn't go to family gatherings because Daddy played Tummy Sticks with you when you were little? :-\ Or was that Basile who said that?

I had a great thanksgiving, I refused to be around people (family) that I don't like. My thanksgiving dinner was limited to close family (people I love) and it went very well!

The only affect I get from yours is laughter...honestly.
Cut your head off and perhaps a better one will grow back...go ahead, try it. ;D....You worry entirely to much about your appearance but if I looked like a plucked rooster I would also.

are they just annoying or are they really bad people?

Not sure about the others but in my case I don't "hate" any of my relatives.
It is more a case of not really knowing them over the years.
Think about it. If you only see thse folks once a year at T day or Xmas, and at the rare funeral or wedding, how well do you get to know them? NOT MUCH.

50/50 split. Growing up with pessimistic parents will bring you closer to the "Truth" but fuck you up royally and make you not trust a soul. Optimistic parents will make you fall in love with everyone where you end up like Coach and Howard. Either way, you're fucked.

We do it ourselves (wife / kids) and the rest of the family can f00k off.

Now THAT is a holiday attitude I can respect!
-
Mostly alcoholics in my family(Irish and Swedish heavy drinkers) so the Thanksgiving turkey usually burns in the oven.
One year two of the fireman actually stayed for dinner to insure that the fire was completely out and would not be 'rekindled' by the burnt kitchen's inebriated inhabitants.
Nowadays when the cousins all gather for holiday activities no one drinks too much and some of us claim that none of us are alcoholics because alcoholism skips generations, but proceeds on to the next. Any agreements with that?
As sons and daughters of extreme alcoholics we have some unbelievable stories to tell, some funny but most very fook'd up, so we laff and cry a lot when we gather together over the holidays and talk story of holidays gone by and our drunken relatives when they gather together to celebrate the art of excessive drinking.
We miss them though.
Any alcoholics in this GetBig gang?

Exactly on the skipping generations of alcoholism. I had a Uncle that died early actually got shot because he was trying to get into his parents house which were dead but of course drunk as hell so the current resident killed him. Being said he had a nephew that lived off his parents all his life and died of alcoholism but others in the family have no problem if you get the gene it is hard to fight. Genetics rule everything including Bodybuilding.

Lol because they're weak minded fools that don't have the integrity to maintain long term relationships with anyone that don't have anything to give them hence non gift holidays are the most hateful.
regardless I'm canadian we had ours last month and you can read my moaning and bitching about this shit in my guilt thread or someshit can't remember the name.

I'm all about my immediate family (mother,father, sister, brother, nephew) but as far as my cousins, aunts, and uncles, I see them at christmas once a year usually, and thats enough for me.

it's not that I don't like them. but these days its hard to get everyone together all the time. I guess I would probably feel dfferently if I saw them more often, but it is what it is.

the modern world lol, I don't like the people, because I don't know the people, I don't know the people because I only see the people once a year because i don't like the people.
-
Nobody, thanks for that info.
I gotta add one more comment about alcoholic family members and good friends who are also 'excessive' drug users.
When I was a kid I seldom received a Christmas present that wasn't already broken due to the fact that relatives had fallen or stepped on them the night before.
One uncle crushed a section of the Lionel train set teack that my dad had set up on Christmas eve and when I found it under the tree on Christmas morning it would run half way around that track and fall off.
My dad with his usual hangover said, "Don't worry about it! It's a train wreck set!"
And I was the only kid on the block that had one.
Other gifts were stepped or fallen on too and rideing a new bicycle with a twisted tire on Christmas morning is an experience that will never be forgotten,
All that drinking stuff must have taught me something though, because I've been to more AA meetings than I can count dragging unwilling friends and relatives along so often that those people who don't know me refer to me as "that stupid guy in the corner who never says anything".
-
thanksgiving was meant to be shared with family and friends
-
Damn man. My family is supportive as shit. Maybe it is you?
haha, he "gets nervous before these events".... dude, you have some "issues". :-\
-

Exactly the point here!
Back in the old days when travel was hard via train or wagon, folks stayed put.
Back then, the work week was long and hard , so your were greatful to have a day off to relax and eat a good meal with family.
Now, in the modern world, time off means "vacation" for many of us working stiffs.
Most of us simply want to RELAX and have fun on our vacations.
The last thing my wife and I want to do is spend hours on some meal to feed and entertain relatives we barely know.

I listened to my grandmother and mom rant and rave how fat and ugly i had gotten in the last 2 years (205lbs in single digit bf.. probably 9-10%). For some reason i didn't think telling them it was test bloat would help my cause. I then had to eat dinner at my grandmothers while my aunt brings her tumor ridden dog that is on the verge of dying, yet the insist on keeping it alive like Terry Shiavo with steroids and multiple surgeries. It was totally blind and as i watched it stumble around the room and my Mom cutting the tukery i slowly lost my appetite.

So you get all butt hurt if your family says a quick prayer at a family dinner ::) get over yourself who cares. I would kick your ass out of my house if I was your family.

Well considering it was OUR HOUSE as in my dads, my moms, and mine and the fact that guests that were INVITED initiated a prayer without consent is rude. So no... if anything the guest should have their ass kicked out of the house. I think you would be a little butt hurt yourself if you had someone conduct some mumba jumba ceremony at your dinner table because of their "beliefs".

Use that prayer time to scope out the table, so by the time they are raising their heads, you are already asking to be passed the plate you want to start with. ;)

Why can't people understand this concept: Most of us don't have a problem with our extended families. It's hard to get everyone to come together when they live all over the place. So we only see each other 1 or 2 times a year.

A) I am southern and i was raised eating family dinners every night. Not the typical American sit in front of the tv and zone out while eating junk family. We also talked about our day... this was something i am very grateful for.
B) I like my family too, they just annoy me. Never said i dislike my family. I dislike what alot of them on my mothers side believe and the stupid conversations they want to have.
C) There is no c
D) Want to fight?

The whole trip sucked. Coming down there and revisiting with family after a 2 year hiatus reminded me why it took me so many years to lose my virginity. I listened to my grandmother and mom rant and rave how fat and ugly i had gotten in the last 2 years (205lbs in single digit bf.. probably 9-10%). For some reason i didn't think telling them it was test bloat would help my cause. I then had to eat dinner at my grandmothers while my aunt brings her tumor ridden dog that is on the verge of dying, yet the insist on keeping it alive like Terry Shiavo with steroids and multiple surgeries. It was totally blind and as i watched it stumble around the room and my Mom cutting the tukery i slowly lost my appetite.
My autistic second cousin was running around telling everyone the TV would be working properly in a few minutes and my whole right wing conservative side of the family ranted about the Rapture and how they were all stocking up canned foods for the event. Me and my dad ate in disgust in a private room away from the rest of the family. I hate these family get togethers. Why do we have them :(
at least you get along with your old man. when you were a kid did your family rub you in gravy so the dog would play with you? just wondered.
