Would You Ever Not Invite Your Family Members to Thanksgiving Dinner Based Upon Political Beliefs

[ChristisKing]

Being on your phone during Thanksgiving? That is disrespectful. I left my phone at home when I visited my grandparents.

I didn't leave mine at home but I also didn't have mine out at the dinner table either.

Good girl! It's about time, you did something right! j/k

I mean I have my phone out every other time at the dinner table but not for special occasions.

I can help you stop that if you want. As I don't post when eating with my family.

Give that girl an award.

No thanks. Everybody usually goes off and eats wherever then.

I respect that. I only asked because of my southern hospitality.

I have families that will discuss Politics around Christmas...in front of the kids and other family members and friends.

You can impose any or all the rules, but there will always be one or two jackasses in that group.

That's what a small card table down in the basement is for.

True!

I just put them at the kids table...that way they can interact with them, since they can't act like like the adults in the room.

We don't do that to the kids.


We put the happy drunk with the kids.

This is a rare time when we disagree and might currently be the only time.

Well invite them then, or let them exclude you. It may be the christian thing to do, it may be the thing your heart tells you is right, but in this case, as you'll eventually find out, you will get burned. You cannot teach these people anything by your good will. I guess you'll find out eventually the hard way, RR. It is a sad thing that these people have taken mere political differences to this level, and I'm not happy about it, but it is a choice THEY have made, no matter what your reaction to it.

They do quite well with the kids. The kids don't know crap about Politics or Religion yet. Moral of the story: As long as we all can have a peaceful Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner, that's all that matters.

We put the happy drunk with the kids.

The drunks can stay outside on the porch. We have a very special place for them.

No, who cares. Vote for who you want.

My brother is a major, social justice warrior. I enjoy picking him apart with great precision. It’s not hard to make their house of cards collapse.

My Uncle Jim voted for Kamala Harris, which I already knew he would. I still invited him over for Thanksgiving feast. But he declined.

That right there is just it. Even if one person makes the effort, the mission can still go unaccomplished. My older sister doesn't want anything more to do with me or our mom and so even if she were to be invited to our house, she wouldn't come because she won't answer the phone to us or write back online.

God bless you and my mom always!!!

P.S. For the record, I don't hurt for my sister's company, but our mom of course is another story.
