Who's dreading Thanksgiving?

[Pizzagirl]

<p>

My SIL and her 2 unmarried daughters, both well over 21, and single just sit there and expect to be waited on. They refuse to move a muscle and they are the only guests. Last year my wife got so exasperated she commented on the lack of any help from them.

<p>That’s so rude! My kids know their lives aren’t worth living if they don’t spontaneously get up and help with the dishes. Oh, yeah, and me too, LOL.</p>

<p>When I first met H’s family, they put on Thanksgiving dinner (and other holiday dinners) for 35 - 40 people and they had hired help / servers. At the time I thought it was snotty and ridiculous and sneered at it. But now the older I get, the more I totally see it - my MIL still did lots of the cooking, but she could relax and enjoy her guests more when there were other people to be serving the courses and starting on clean-up afterwards.</p>
