Re: Post-Thanksgiving parental bullshit.
(Anonymous) 2025-11-30 01:51 am (UTC)(link)My mom feels compelled to make a Thanksgiving dinner every year. Every year, she gets frustrated with it and thinks that the food came out badly (it never does), she doesn't have everything ready at the exact same time and is mad (no one minds), and she says she's not doing it again, and is in a towering bad mood. But every year, she still does it! She only accepts minimal help and gets weird about it when we try to do more. We have told her a thousand times that no one needs this, we are fine with a scaled back thing like just make something easy that everyone enjoys, WE CAN COOK AND LET HER JUST RELAX, but she INSISTS on doing the Thanksgiving meal and then being really pissy about it when things go wrong.
It has gotten to the point where I am genuinely considering planning some kind of trip out of town over Thanksgiving next year so I can avoid the entire shitshow, because I am so sick of it.

Re: Post-Thanksgiving parental bullshit.
(Anonymous) 2025-11-30 07:31 am (UTC)(link)I'm familiar with a matriarchal figure pulling the "I do everything for everyone and no appreciates it" thing. Found a lot of, "Yes, this show gets it," catharsis from watching season 2 episode 6 ("Fishes") of The Bear. I know it can be more triggering for some, so proceed with caution. But for me, I found it cathartic (though I can only handle it sometimes, my heart always breaks with Natalie asks for a hug after her mom freaked out on her).
