"Happy Post Thanksgiving! This past Thursday morning was spent in my kitchen baking apple pie for my boyfriend&amp;amp;#8217;s extended family. But here&amp;amp;#8217;s the thing: I won&amp;amp;#8217;t even be there to see them enjoy my masterpiece! Nope, this was one holiday dinner I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t invited to. Apples Pre-Pie. I use Matsu I got apple picking Instead, I traveled up to my Aunt Andie&amp;amp;#8217;s in Connecticut for dinner this year, which, incidentally, is only 20 minutes away from Birthday Boy&amp;amp;#8217;s family get-together (also in Connecticut). We briefly discussed stopping by our respective dinners, but after some thought, BB decided against it. In fact, he&amp;#x27;d rather not have me meet them at all. He was worried his family may say something embarrassing or offensive and preferred we just hold off on this relationship milestone. I thought this kind of news would upset me; after all, why wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t he want them to meet me?! Surprisingly, I&amp;amp;#8217;m totally fine with it though. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve already met his immediate family, so I see no reason to meet the extended clan until I hear wedding bells. Anyway, I&amp;#x27;m only dating him--not all his aunts and uncles--and that&amp;amp;#8217;s what really matters. Besides, through my delicious apple pie, I was there in spirit. And according to him it left a great first impression. Do you think I should be upset about the whole non-invite thing? When did you meet your man&amp;amp;#8217;s extended family for the first time? Do you think it&amp;amp;#8217;s important to meet the whole family before marriage? And most importantly, what&amp;amp;#8217;s your favorite Thanksgiving dessert? *How Was Your Thanksgiving?
