A few weeks ago I asked my mom and sisters about Thanksgiving and they said they didn't know what they were going to do. Last week I called my mom and she told me all of my sisters were going to her place and they were all bringing food and they had everything planned out. No one called to tell me and my mom changed the subject. Last night one of my sister's called and asked what was I bringing to mom's and I told her I don't know, no one told me anything about it. Then she called my mom and called me back going off about how I never call them and I need to call mom. I do call my mom and sisters, but they hardly ever answer. So I called my mom twice and she never answered her phone. Some friends of mine invited me to share Thanksgiving with them. I think I should go to see my friends. I just don't want to even deal with my sisters and mom. What would you do?

You should have assumed that you were invited when your mother told you about it on the day you called. Get your butt to the family dinner, and visit your friends after dinner. It is holiday time, and you should try to spend as much time with your mother while she is still alive to spend it with you. If she passed away tomorrow, you would regret that you did not go.

Thanksgiving is about being thankful for what you have and that includes wonderful friends. With that said if you feel you would enjoy the company of your friends more, then spend the day with them. I would also suggest you let your family know that phones go both ways. It is incredibly petty, not to mention childish, that your family would say they didn't call you about the holiday because you never call them. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

If you think there is going to be drama, go with your friends:
As the old saying goes:
Lack of planning on your part ,does not constitute an emergency on mine!
It would be nice to be with family,I'd just call them and let them know you have prior plans,make a curitious apology.And say you would like to know what to bring for Christmas now!
And back it up with a note,inside an early Christmas card to your mom.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I don't know...personally, if I was told that they had everything planned out, and wasn't told or included in the planning, I wouldn't even want to go. Just me again, but I would go with the friends. Yes, you would probably feel bad if something happened to one of your family members, but they apparently didn't care enough to include you. Glad I don't have a big family to deal with the crap.

Sounds like they don't want you to come.
Turn off your mobile, turn the answering machine on and go with where you are most comfortable and enjoy yourself.
