Thanksgiving Cleanup [View all]

My Mom refused to do any cleanup a few years ago, since she does 90% of the cooking on Thanksgiving. Good for her. My sister's family all help cook and clean up. My aunt and female cousin does everything, while the guys eat and then watch football or play pool or whatever. They get PISSED if asked to help.

How was it at your Thanksgiving?
