I absolutely HATE having to spend turkey day with my ILs. Since my family is scattered all over the world, we spend it with them every year. FIL insists on smoking the turkey and I don't really like the taste or smell of it. Also the men go over to their house around 10am, to help and drink whiskey. By 4pm all the men are drunk on whiskey and LOUD. Since E still naps, she and I will stay home until after her nap and then head over there. The house is not childproofed nor do they have any child friendly toys. So I will have to drag a huge diaper bag with enough toys to entertain her for several hours. I won't have any parenting help from DH and SIL will be busy with her new little one. I won't get to drink at all since DH will be drinking all day and I will have to sit there AND be pleasant.
