Traditionally my current wife (aka my first wife) did a ham dinner for our 2 kids and their families but there has been a serious upheaval so we have been dining alone for most holidays for a year and a half. We haven’t decided what is on tap for Sunday but our dear old retired Pastor died last Sunday night and that adds a degree of additional gloom for us...

“there has been a serious upheaval”...
codeword for ?
To me, it might mean that they weren’t behaving and have lost the “right” to be in your presence at the current time.
:-) Sometimes, less is more!
Sorry about losing your Pastor.

Sorry to hear that TB. My condolences for all. Anybody who is the beneficiary of dozens and dozens of home baked cookies every week should invite his dear mom and dad for Easter dinner, IMHO!)

So sorry to hear that. We are in the same boat. These GenXers can be very judgemental. My husband says they just need to live their own lives and then judge us. Bless you and your wife and Happy Easter.

Sorry to hear that tubebender. Family can be such a pain sometimes. They know all the buttons to push to drive you crazy in the shortest time possible. Too bad you’re on the other side of the world or you could come eat with us. :)
