Ya know what is pathetic?

acoustic guy

My old man and I do not get along but every year I envite him over for the holidays b/c he is alone and I feel bad. Well, not this year b/c last year i envited him over and he complained about Turkey b/c he said it was
"Peasant Food". What a freak!!
He is a food and wine snob so he says Turkey has no flavor and is cheap.
Ya try to do something nice for a bastard and they shit on you.
I am sure there are many here with dad problems.

Just needed to get that off my chest!
Thanks.

Turkey *is* sort of bland.



I hear ya, though. It's a shame that some people would rather be negative than enjoy the good aspects of life.

I have a few family members that take so much pleasure in complaining and/or criticizing... It's exhausting and depressing. :(

make him some off-brand tofurkey....he'll never bitch about actual turkey ever again.


tofurkey isn't that bad. however last year my daughter was trying to be cheap so she bought this off-brand of fake turkey (I can't remember the name of it) this stuff made everyone that tried it gag....it was horrid :eek:

Thanksgiving is about being thankful, being thankful to about everything.

Push aside all that negative stuff and enjoy the company of your family cause next year you may not even make it back together again to be thankful once again.

Peace

Your dad sounds like he needs an attitude adjustment to me. But, if you want to spice up your turkey here you go:

We actually had this a few years ago and it wasn't bad, but we all prefer just plain turkey with lots of gravy, mashed potatoes, and wine!

What does he like to eat?

Ask him what he would consider a good thanksgiving meal and try it out next time.

That way he knows he's just being a shit if he complains.

my recent "dad problem" is that my dad is disappointed in me. i also figured out that although my dad is not stirct and never was, but he uses other tactics to manipulate me. sort of passive aggressive manipulation and also putting me down.

there haha!! and i feel fucking compelled to do what he says, because i want to be daddy's good girl. honestly what part of teenage rebellion did i not get correctly????!!

i should fucking rebel!!! maaan and i always thought of myself as a free spirit!!


haha free spirit = my arse!!

tell him he can have the honour of cooking the fucking turkey this year and show ya how it's done... what's wrong with people?

Our father comes to christmas dinner in my sisters house and HE cooks the turkey cos he knows we're completely helpless... he doesn't try to change us or put us down, just accepts us for BEING useless

hahaha I have to sort of agree with him, I've never thought turkey was very tasty.

(btw, just for your info, it's "invite.")

ha, thanks.

Its not the point, he just lives his life being miserable.
He is a very negative person, yet I feel bad when I do not include him in family functions. My in-laws do not want him around b/c he is so cranky.
We all get him gifts for X-mas, ya know what he got me.....one $8.00 Cast Iron Pan from Sams Club.
The man drives a Porsche SUV! He makes Hundreds of thousands a year. I do not think I deserve anything from him or do I expect it but WTF? Compain about the food we serve him and give $8.00 gifts?
It makes me laugh b/c he is so screwed up.
