I think Waiting2exhale, it was more a reference to Thanksgiving and the timing of the breakup
Didn’t have permission to comment?? Think maybe that’s an error message that pops up at times and also when an edit time has expired on a post… no??
As a cc dinosaur, have seen this topic (the turkey drop) come up often. A quick search pulls up 26 pages where the term has been used!! 
@waitingtoexhale …? You lost me about the sex comment.
This was just the oppisite of what happened in DS’s case.
After the turkey drop happens, it is often the case that the one who initiates the turkey drop jump-starts a new relationship not long after the turkey drop, while the one who is dropped tends to “lick his/her wound” longer, except for the rebound case.
Yea, right. Empty handed for the next 7(?) years. /sarcastic.
I have the suspicion that many
millenniums may not consider the commitment to a “long term relationship” as a very high priority item, but I could be wrong here.
In the spirit of Post 15, I suggest Pumpkin Pie.
Nah…Pumpkin Pie is nothing but a dessert after the Turkey meal. It downgrades the renewed relationship too much. Early Christmas to celebrate?
^Huh?
Don’t understand that, or much of the last few posts …
Let me try again:
Intparent suggested “Turkey Seconds”, meaning eating Turkey for the second time.
Then, WasatchWriter thought people eat Pumpkins Pie (as dessert) after Turkey feast. So suggested using “Pumpkins Pie” instead of “Turkey Seconds”.
I feel that Turkey feast is much more than Pumpkins Pie which is just dessert. Since Chrismas follows Thanksgiving (when we eat Turkey) and the “Turkey” in “Turkey Drop” really refers to the time of the year, I thought we could use early Christmas (it is happy time after all.)
Any better or still confusing?
Turkey drop really refers to the Thanksgiving breakup- at least that’s my understanding.
How about turkey fricasee?
I’ve got it-- the opposite of a turkey drop is a turkey breast lift 
Making me glad my daughter has not had a boyfriend. …yet. The heck with holiday references, “college graduation present” would be fine with me!
Though unlikely, lol.
@conmama: Read your reply “the same thing happened in my home and we weren’t not happy about it,” as a response to that just above yours, and not as a response to the OP. Thus, sex in your home.
I think this thread has had me needing a bit of help in translation.
Found out neighbor’s SIL (20+ years older than their 22 YO DD) has 3 ex-wives and 3 children he does not support and is not allowed to see. It looks like the 5 month old grand baby has cerebral palsy and maybe even more serious issues. DD is the engine for that nuclear family, organizing and doing all the work while her H does as little as he can get by with. He does not have a paid job - he has made a career out of being a free loading hippie who acts like he has a disability (he does have a knee brace, but does power walking!) At some point she will realize that she has two ‘babies’ and may decide to come home with the real baby and dump the H baby, sort of like the prodigal son. SIL definitely is feeding into the gal’s low self esteem. SIL actually acted decent on Thursday - in the past he acted like a horse’s a** and the parents said DD and SIL are not welcome if SIL is going to disrespect them. DD was shocked, but she has realized if they want to be ‘adults’ they need to act like adults.
The Christian friend of DD that has been very sheltered and is attending a private college, who was dating a Buddist classmate, has broken up with him. Her parents totally frieked - said they would stop paying tuition if she didn’t end the relationship. I believe they handled things poorly - they should have driven the 100 miles and met the young man, and then later having a series of calm discussions with their DD. Gal does have to grow up a bit, including not being so timid with her parents. She is 21.
Both DDs have great group of friends and no serious BF yet. DDs talk between themselves, and usually one will tell us if the other is dating someone, or ‘seeing someone’.
You can not have a better ‘informant’ than this. LOL.
My husband and I have a mixed family of four daughters…3 out of four are involved with partners that are not fully supported …my step-daughter has a bf that I have yet to meet , but her mom and my husband don’t care for him…only one sister has met him and she felt the same way
I have adopted the stance of not being judgmental about their choices ( no destructive , abusive issues )
If they are not meant to be, then they can figure it out
Black Friday Boink?
