Yeah it's fine as long as everyone is completely on board with the whole thing before any animals are brought home. That part is kind of crucial.

What about it? Oh, you're going to divorce me? Lol, go ahead. WHOA! DIVORCE PAPERS? Where the hell is this coming from?! This was a great summary. The "my wife's named marissa. I'm not going to tell you what language I speak because it might reveal too much" was my favorite part. It almost comes off as if he wants Marissa to find it on Reddit as "proof" that it was just a "mistake"

Motronic posted:...or a farm boy. Who should have recognized immediately that the livestock he bought turned into pets for his non-farm-raised girlfriend and left it at that. My grandfather and my great-uncle both had small dairy farms back way back in the day, and when either of them had a cow that was too old to produce milk, they’d each call the other one to dispatch the animal. Many years later, grandpa told my dad ‘It’s hard to do it when you raised her from a calf and milked her twice a day for many years, so I have my brother do it, it’s easier for him ‘cause it’s not his cow, and I do the same for him.’ Goes to show that even crusty old German farmers can be sentimental, and I always thought that was a good way to deal with the problem.

I fuckin' love eating meat. Where these stories all get abusive is that the boyfriend or dad is not disclosing form the very beginning that the animal is food. If dude brought home the turkeys and the first thing out of his mouth is "I'm going to fatten these up for Thanksgiving," poo poo may have gone down differently. (Of course, if g/f is indeed vegetarian, maybe not...) The dad who had his kids raise a pig and then pretended it "disappeared' and didn't tell them what actually happened until they were eating their pig is just a power-tripping pervert who gets off on transgressing boundaries.

Nah dude, it is fine to raise meat animals as long as everyone doing it knows what's up. My wife and kids have named our chickens so when the county told me I had to get rid of my rooster (the laws had changed since I had first researched it, plus it was supposed to be a sexed female) he "went to a farm really far away."

My wife (25F) doesn't like thanksgiving food and my family doesn't want her to join me (25M) this year.quote:My wife and I have been together for 8 years, married for nearly 2. She's from a different culture than I am, and her family is pretty spread out across the country. Her sister just moved to California, her parents live in North Carolina, and we're in New Jersey. My family all lives in Missouri, where I grew up.

Haifisch posted:My wife (25F) doesn't like thanksgiving food and my family doesn't want her to join me (25M) this year. That's really strange. When I was growing up we would always alternate holidays with our parents` families, Dad's one year, Mom's the next, more or less. Seems weird that she doesn't want to just have them both go to hers this time. Maybe his grandma will mellow out by next year?

Tell Grandma you'll handle inviting everyone/scheduling this year and not to worry. Then tell everyone that Thanksgiving will be somewhere else because Grandma isn't up to hosting anymore. Don't invite Grandma to New Thanksgiving.

Dude should totally side with his wife with the story as written and I wouldn't at all be surprised if the wife just made a minor faux pas that racist grandma blew out of proportion but I've also seen plenty of people irl that act like they're competing in a worst guest challenge and that bias coupled with reddit op's often being weaselly around what transpired when they know it'd make em look bad make me wonder if maybe they are the assholes.

I raised all kinds of animals on our little ranch. The first year, I spent months training my pig to come when called, walk with me, etc so i could show her at the county fair, and then sell her at auction. I started crying a day or so before the fair because I felt bad about her becoming meat. Then we went to the fair. She raised the roof, ran squealing around the judging pen, and basically acted like she'd never seen a person in her life. By the time we were done I was ready to butcher her right there, all by myself.

Grandma is a disgusting cook and the girlfriend thought not eating would go over better if she blamed it on culture. “The texture of the casseroles”  I’d try to get out of thanksgiving too if I were being asked to pretend to like unseasoned, rehydrated potato flakes and dry bird.

Girl probably isn't too far off the mark anyway. Mashed potatoes are almost always flavorless hence the need for delicious gravy. Casseroles are often awful in their own way. Sucks to get stomach aches from Turkey though.

If it were just that the wife didn't like the food, the obvious solution would be to get the wife to contribute a dish, which would give the group something new to try and give the wife a(nother?) thing she knew she would eat. But instead Grandma jumped straight to "she's not invited", which means either (a) the wife did something way worse than just pick at her food, or (b) his family is racist and looking for an excuse to exclude her.

That dude's family is a bunch of assholes, and he should not go to that Thanksgiving. The average American can't cook well and therefore the average Thanksgiving dinner is gross, I don't blame anyone for not liking over-cooked dry turkey, plain mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole.
