I shouldn't complain, but everyone gravitates to our home. Some Thanksgivings, my husband and I have opted to go away to a bed and breakfast somewhere alone because of the stress. I'm getting better at asking our kids to help out so it's more of a holiday for everyone.

@Peapod As long as the fun outweighs the stress and everyone has a good time by the end of the day then it’s good

@LionsLair, we have had a few ones that I would like to forget. I think it's because some of the family gets drinking and the drama comes out. Just once, I would like to be invited over so I could leave when I wanted to. I do love my family and I expect this year to be a lot better. Some of my family is now pregnant and some are "on the wagon". Less booze, less drama. 😜

@Peapod Well I hope this will be a more peaceful one then lol

@LionsLair, I think the family knows after last year's debacle, this is their last chance to make it peaceful. I've had enough family drama to last me a life time.
