For many that celebrate Thanksgiving, it is almost over, did you get through it without having a family argument?

I eat alone… no fights and I get the best cuts.

No fights. We just avoid certain topics.

Yeah, no arguments. We’ve grown through that phase.

It was perfection, bunch of boring small talk. My brother is a wonderful cook, doing the all natural thing like roasted vegetables in olive oil. I have differences with his wife but it was a nice gesture on their part. The kids are great. As soon as he’s tall enough I’m going to steal my nephew for a tennis partner. Hehe

We argue all the time.
The point is, can reasonably intelligent people make their argument, state their case, and agree to disagree.
That is my family.
It’s great, and in may opinion it is the way it ought to be.
In other situations, I am losing that argument.
Oh well.

For my family, there seems to be arguments every year. At this point, I’m not sure how normal it would feel if there weren’t any. But everyone is always happy by the end of the night, so I guess it could be worse.

All quiet here. There was a disagreement about the use of the computer, but that fizzled quick. There was a fuss about the tv, but they settled that with seeing Charlie Brown Thanksgiving first, Then Polar Express. I guess home and Mom automatically translate to revisiting childhood. Oh, there goes a turkey sandwich.

Yes we did. The only people yelled at were the referees in the A&M/LSU game.

We had a wonderful evening. No arguments.

No arguments really except my inlaws had a little spat because my FIL wasn’t helping in the exact way my MIL needed at one instance and she had a little freakout for a second and so did he.

She let me help, which is incredibly rare, until the end of the night when she insisted I don’t wash pots and serving dishes she had left for the next morning.

I, personally, did not argue with anyone. Which is good.

My aunt chastised my cousin a bit for not visiting her mother enough. My brother in law was a bit annoyed at his disrespectful grandchildren. And my wife kinda chewed out one of the aforementioned grandchildren for being disrespectful. But… all of these were very brief and, there was no yelling.

So that would be a win.

We didn’t argue. It was just the five of us – parents, me and sis and my daughter. We don’t usually argue.

no fights. we all pretty much agree on everything important. Even my grown children’s spouses are in agreement with our families values concerning religion and politics.
No radical lefties in my family thank God.

^^ So, I’m not invited to Christmas dinner??

^^ only if you bring a bottle of wine. :)

^^ absolutely. a nice malbec perhaps.

“Radical Lefties”, what is that, a South Paw with a mean left hook? ~~
