Well, my niece is non-Internet insult autistic. Does that count?
 
I got dinner from Bob Evans and ate at home alone, so the only autism I got to witness was my own.
 
Sucked this year. I went all out like I always do, just to have Mr. Round Buns mention Oh yeah we're going to my brother's house an hour and a half away. Of course he had to work the night before, so he napped all day today, gets up in time for me to have everything done. Doesn't acknowledge the food, he's getting himself ready. My older kids, the eldest still isn't talking to me and my younger daughter doesn't pay any attention to me unless she wants something, she'd run off to her dad's with barely a word. I'm a little hurt at this point, I say the food is ready, he's like Oh I'm not even hungry, I figured we'd eat at my brother's.

Oh. Okay.

He notices the look on my face and sighs, cleans up a little around the kitchen and calls our oldest, gets the littlest some food. My 3rd born has no idea how to read a room, insults the shit out of my turkey. Husband is picking at his food, it's clear he just wants to get going.

They've left already, I'm the autist I guess, laying alone in my darkened bedroom writing this. I didn't want to be around his family, my family sucks as always, and I'm sorry this isn't funny at all.
 
Everyone just left we had 14 friggin people over but aside from an awkward conversation between an family member and his adult daughter when talking about disciplining kids, it was actually a huge success.

“I think I only had to spank you once when you acted up real bad”.

“You used your belt more than once and definitely spanked me pretty regularly.”

“Oh.”

Other thank that, grand slam, and said daughter did say she had a good time after all.

The living room had the Switch going and a side room had football. This was the key.

Also we don’t keep liquor in the house.

That sucks, I'm really sorry. It's cool that you put so much effort into everything, too bad that they didn't appreciate it. I'm sure your turkey was lovely ❤️
 
My neighbors invited me over and kept at it so I guess they want me to come. They're Dominicans so they start late, like around 8. But they go late, I expect them to party until daylight.

No one around me cares about covid.

@Lady Round Buns, damn, that sucks. I was going to make some stupid remark about eating a PB&J while talking to my dog but then I read your post. I can’t begin to imagine what being treated like that must have felt like and my heart goes out to you.


Thanks, guys. I feel a little better, not much but a little. He wanted me to go, then he was going to stay home, but I convinced him that he'd regret not going. Especially since he'd bought the expensive housewarming gift. He apologized and said he didn't mean to rush me or seem like he didn't give a shit, that he thought we'd take all the food to his brother's house. Insert my squinting like DiCaprio, how the hell are we getting a 17 pound pastured goddamn turkey with all the trimmings to Indiana, I ask you. I told him it was just a misunderstanding, take the younger kids and go see the fam, I'm in no shape to be any kind of company.

I'm not mad or anything, just very blue. Thank you very much for being so kind you guys, funny how we're all supposedly a bunch of hateful, troon killing Alt Right Nazis, but I've seen people get and have received myself a lot of love and support from this site. ❤️
 
The literally retarded relative (has the mind of like a three year old) yelled "FUCK YOU" at me when I politely suggested he not take all the meat from the charcuterie board.
 
@Lady Round Buns

I legit feel bad. It may have been a misunderstanding, but it’s still pretty shitty regardless. I hope you feel better.

As for my thanksgiving, my brother got really drunk which led to him getting really emotional, which was awkward for everyone. My sister managed to not sperg politically so thankful for that. My nieces loved the food and got to spend time with my cat they adore. Pretty good
 
Thanksgiving was the usual, but it's always nice to spend it with the one relative who is very based for their demographics and fills the rest of us in on the details behind the local news and happenings that the media would rather memory hole.

@Lady Round Buns , add me to the list of fellow Kiwis hit in the feels by your sucky Thanksgiving. I truly hope tomorrow is a better day.
 
This year was great, husband likes to cook the whole spread. Unfortunately the turkey might’ve been underdone but I’m hoping it was fine.
It wouldn’t be the first time he’s poisoned me on thanksgiving though. One year he forgot to close the lid tightly on some food I made that was on the counter. I didn’t realise it had spoiled, ate it, and went to work a few hours later. Had the worst food poisoning of my life while working in a deli on thanksgiving, passing out turkey dinners, dealing with rude ass customers, and wanting to die. All I wanted was to go home and barf my brains out, but instead I put on a smile and ate the large lovely dinner my husband made and FaceTimed in-laws.
(And then I barfed my brains out, but never had the heart to tell him)
 
It was pretty good, despite the fact that one daughter isn't speaking to the husband of another because he made a dumb comment about her dress a month ago. (Holy shit, can girls be fucking petty)

Other than that, it was typical talk about shit, look forward to Christmas, play with the grandkids, watch TV.

@Lady Round Buns : Hope you get it all settled. Smack your eldest across the face for being an ungrateful brat, kick your youngest in the ass for being a little shit, yell at your husband, then have a good holiday whether they fucking like it or not.
