Do you still sit at the kiddie table?

Sad to say there will be no kiddie table this year since my grandma passed away in July and no one else feels up to hosting :(

Sorry about that . nice run in ny. im going with chicken this year. cooking a smaller bird works for 2 people. and by "cooking" , that means buying a pre cooked chicken.

Your parents are waiting for you to have kids. Then there will be a kids table.

They'll be the first to know if/when I'm pregnant with the spawn of LetsRun.

Bump. I miss Thanksgiving.

Was nikeman ever invited?

Sadly, Thanksgiving won't be the same this year. We started hosting Thanksgiving about 5 years ago after my Mom stopped. It is more work to put on than you could imagine. It's so rewarding to have everyone get together, even my wife's aunt who has no filter.

This year, we are doing meal deliveries. Too many high risk people in the group. We are going to try a zoom meeting at meal time, but I suspect that will not be successful, but we might find humor in the failure.

Another holiday season is here. Right now I miss the kiddie table because there's not enough family together to need one. My dad and grandma both passed away, grandpa's not doing well, and the rest of the fam is spread out in different states.

However, there are new kiddies on the way (mine), so maybe next year things will start to change and I will some day reach my lifetime goal of sitting at an official adult table.

Today my 6 year old son asked me to eat lunch with him and his friends at school for their thanksgiving lunch. So yes, I do. It was awesome!

I do, and based on what you have shared, I'm older than you are. It may well be degrading, but it's also fun. The kiddos enjoy the holiday. The adults aren't capable of doing same.

Don't let Matt Geatz sit anywhere near that table.

Let go of nostalgia's grip on you. You're a grown ass woman, host your own damn holiday gathering if it's so important to you to keep bumping your own thread over and over again. Won't your family come to your home?

I am, but there are no kids and therefore no kiddie table.

Also, i mentioned my grandpa hasn't been doing well. He has been in and out of the hospital for the past 3 months. He and the family members taking care of him are not about to fly across the country.

Don't you derail this thread, that was my job. Now I feel bad for trying to be political.

Okay, that makes more sense. Carry on, gobble gobble and have a good Thanksgiving!

"Where your dreams become reality" means different things to different people. You do you, tRg!

Once the spawn of letsrun arrive, you won't have time to sit at any table for awhile.

Well, the kiddies are here, but there's no kiddie table (or designated adult table) yet. I'm really missing my grandma right now because she always hosted Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, but passed away in 2018. Turns out I miss sitting at the kiddie table.
