Dear Abby advises a person who gave up hosting Thanksgiving and is now being asked by their sister to cook a Turkey for her dinner.
Dear Abby gives advice to a person who is being asked to bring a turkey to Thanksgiving dinner as a guest.Dear Abby: How do I put a stop to my sibling's insufferable holiday newsletter?For the last six years, my partner and I have hosted family Thanksgiving dinners. I always spend more time and energy than I have to make it beautiful and successful. This year, I have neither the budget nor a desire for the stress. I made it known early that we wouldn’t be hosting this year.
She said I was free to cook it at my place or “come a bit early” to cook it there. Shocked, I told her absolutely not, because avoiding this responsibility was the reason I’m not hosting. I was planning on bringing a side or dessert as is usual for guests, but not the main dish. She got mad and said I was ruining Thanksgiving.
Am I being selfish? Should I go early and teach her how to cook the turkey for the sake of rescuing this dinner, which everyone has come to expect meets a certain standard? The thought is making me miserable, but I feel myself caving to my sister’s tantrum.
