I am dreading Thanksgiving with my husband's family. The last time we spent an entire day with his family my husband was an absolute jerk when we got home. About 6 months ago we drove for 2 hours there and 2 hours back and about 6 hours in between. We got home he grabbed my low sodium wheat thins because he had eaten all of his and proceded to yell at me for buying low sodium and they suck. I told him that he was eating mine and he proceded to be a jerk for the rest of the night yelling about how I buy food he doesn't like. He finally shut up when I told him he could start buying the food so I can bitch too. I know he's going to be the same way when we get home, be a jerk that is.

I told him if his family makes him that crazy I don't want to spend time with them. (I am not forbidding him of seeing his family.) Of course I'm a bitch for that too. so all this coupled with just plain disliking most of his family i expect to have a crappy day. I told him I'm not going to put up with his BS before during and after this gathering, he is entitled to be grumpy after but he can not take it out on me. I am dreading his mood more than anything.

One swift hard kick straight in the nuts will bring all that crap to a screeching halt.

Well I can see why you would not want to go through it again.

I think you should read Doctor Phil book on family. This would help you. It is amazing in how you react and say things can change things around.

Maybe instead of simple not going with you make other plans.

Don't go! Tell your husband that instead of fighting you two can stay home, eat what you want and have sex all day. Tell him that anything goes as long as you don't have to put up with that shit.

Family time is overrated anyway. Get togethers are stressful, boring and you hear the same bullshit year after year. I wish it wasn't with my family but it's how it is. I've stopped going, it is Thanksgiving after all and I don't think that holidays should be stressful.

Good luck and a sexy pilgrim or indian costume wouldn't hurt either!
