Someone Asks People To Share “Juicy Thanksgiving Drama”, And 50 Deliver

My cousin was recently converted into being a flat earther and wanted to argue with people.

Plumbing went haywire with water shooting out of the toilets. Very nice plumber came and found a blockage - it was a condom. For a variety of reasons, it can’t be anyone who is here visiting - and the house has been empty all summer as my father has been quite ill. So we are all trying to figure out who was using his house as a secret sex den and was also stupid enough to flush condoms down the toilet.

My relatives are arguing over my great aunt’s estate.

I couldn’t care less, but everyone else is fighting with the family member who served as the executor to the estate.

My grandma is also being scammed by someone she thinks is an army general. She is constantly fighting with my aunts and uncles about whether or not he’s real, and why it’s okay to send him a grand at a time when she has it.

I stayed away from that mess this year.

They’re probably talking about it being the third year in a row that I didn’t come. It’s the type of family where if you don’t show up for thanksgiving (or any other major holiday) you better be on your death bed or worse. I don’t care for spending my whole day being uncomfortable around judgmental people, so I just don’t.

My partner’s aunt made a huge stink that the cranberry sauce had to be this specific kind from a can. And no, it couldn’t be that same brand of cranberry sauce that had been purchased because said can had actual fruit in it. Partner’s dad had to hurry to the grocery store to buy the “right” one.

Only after the meal was over did anyone notice that neither cranberry sauce had actually been put out for dinner.

my girlfriend's parents found out that we've been dating (we hid it for almost a year) and now they've taken all forms of communication away from her are pulling her out of school and wont let her leave the house because they're religious nuts and i'm not a member of her parents religion. there's nothing i can do about it either so i'm laying in my bed contemplating driving over there and busting her out and then remembering how much worse that would make everything.

I've been asked when I'm going to get pregnant and have babies, asked if I'm still on birth control, and asked why I'm so pale and told I should go get a tan.

So it's pretty standard.

My kid told her cousin Santa wasn’t real. All hell has broken loose.

My whole family decided to go on vacation for Thanksgiving. They neglected to tell me until yesterday. They were like oh hey we are going to New Orleans and your sister and her family are going to Disney. Which means you get to spend Thanksgiving alone. Oh I'm so blessed....

My wife and I grew up very conservative and religious and we were outed as swingers and that our "best friends" were actually our polyamorous partners. We weren't ready for that but to their credit, both of our families (it spread very quickly) have caused very little drama.

Mother-in-law's artificial hip popped out of joint. The last 2 times this happened they had to surgically repair it. This time the doc got it back in place and she is able to drive and go home. Told my wife she needs to buy a lotto ticket because our luck is never that good.

I walk away from all drama just got back to the hotel in fffn shock. The house exploded in a fight. Nephew high as a kite told cousin he screwed her HS Boyfriend. I am 60 years old but Cringeworthy I am going to watch football. My wife is freaking out

Not drama per se, but I told my Mom that this is the last year I’ll be attending Thanksgiving and Christmas with the extended family. Not because I don’t like them; I’m truly blessed to have the family that I do. I told her I’m proposing to my girlfriend next month and want to get more involved with her family and start building our life together. She’s sad, but thinks it’s really sweet. I’m excited to see them for Christmas in a month, but honestly even more excited to ask the love of my life to marry me and start our own chapter! My mom is passing down her ring to me to use, so I think the sentiment is really cool. Waiting until my late 20’s was the perfect move. Today was a great day overall. Good food, good people, no drama whatsoever. Today I truly feel happy. :)

I'm having an argument over whether to watch the 49ers Seahawks football game, or the Michigan Stanford basketball game. It's getting pretty heated, but since I'm here by myself, I figure I can compromise and flip back and forth between the two of them.

My family all think that I’m fat and need to diet. I’m getting married hopefully in 2025, and today my grandma and parents chimed in that I used to be so pretty, but that I’ve let myself go these last few years. I really need to diet.

I think diets are unhealthy, and that I just need to be more mindful of what I eat. But oh, no, that won’t do. I need to buy special food and cut everything out. They know I’ve been trying to work on my weight. But I guess my efforts haven’t been good enough. It was humiliating.

My uncle introduced me and my brother as his oriental nephews.

Well I and the rest of the family learned that my step-aunt has throat cancer that spread to her brain, so there’s that.

My cousin's wearing a MAGA sweatshirt and it's taking all my willpower not to take the bait.

Last night, i found out that my partner is using some very heavy drugs & I'm unsure how to confront him about it.

Also, we're long-distance, so he's happily enjoying the holiday with his family while I'm hundreds of miles away from mine & kind of losing my mind about this new discovery.

But I have delicious crab bisque to eat, so I'm thankful for that today.

I'm a metrosexual because I cooked our turkey and am a good dad according to my MIL (think she called me gay?).
