I am wanting to have time off and to myself to regroup this week, but then I am the one in the kitchen making all the thanksgiving meals for my husband and in-laws and I also love doing that, and I don't feel like being the person who no longer makes her own turkey. But man I wish it was a more relaxing holiday.

This is so relatable. I want my family to have a memorable holiday, but it just means hours and hours and hours of work for me. I started delegating last year and it's been a huge relief. Now I only make the turkey and the potatoes, and everybody else brings everything else.

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Sometimes I feel as though holidays are very taxing on the nurturing person in the family .🙏🏽

Holidays are only relaxing for men (and children in non-toxic households). I don’t get to relax until June… even then, I’m with my nephew 4-5/7 days each week.

This is my best Thanksgiving ever! My husband took my pain-in-the-butt stepson to visit family in another state. I opted to stay home. I am spending my Thanksgiving Day doing exactly what I want—reading, watching movies, drinking coffee, and walking my dog. No cooking and no grading allowed! Best decision ever!
