Adult grandchild cooks Thanksgiving meal for their grandmother after other family members claim they can't make it to dinner, then family drops in day-of to dine and dash: ‘My grandmother and I barely had anything left for a full meal’

The holidays will be here before you know it… and this story about food-stealing, entitled family members should act as a warning to those who go above and beyond for family who wouldn't do the same for them.

Even though a lot of us have an innate instinct to cook for and host our loved ones, it's not without a certain emotional tax. We cook the turkey, figure out the hors d'oeuvres, all the while setting the scene for a cozy place where our family members can relax. It's just what we do for the people we care about, right?

Not every family has the same idea. They might even have opposite ideas of what being a family member looks like, and this story is proof of that. When the person who posted this next story decides to cook Thanksgiving dinner for them and their grandmother, they realize that all of the extended family who cancelled just didn't want to join a collective effort for dinner. Instead, they show up on Thanksgiving Day under the guise of "cancelled" plans and eat all of the food that was meant for the original poster and their grandmother.
