My husband does something that I find annoying. The years when we don’t have Thanksgiving dinner at home, my husband will make it himself after we return from visiting whatever relative we’re seeing. He’ll do the whole meal with a turkey and everything. He does all the cooking and cleans everything up himself, but isn’t the point of going over to someone else’s for Thanksgiving to avoid the inconvenience of having to make the food yourself? His excuse is that he likes to have certain things for Thanksgiving and looks forward to the leftovers. Isn’t he being greedy here?
