Pud: Jerry Springer should host their Christmas dinner
Marge: I can't believe it. Jerry Springer didn't solve our conflict.
Lisa: And now he's dead.

Whole family was from Florida.

Grand_Moff_Joseph: Wow, that's insane. If I were her, I'd cut ties with the lot of them and move to Europe.
Here is a picture of the family:

And by "family" you mean "college a cappella group", I assume.

Sybarite: People get way too hung up on blood relations. Just because you dropped out the same crotch as someone doesn't mean you owe them anything. If the woman were say a good friend instead of your sister, would you still try to get to know her new happy family? Of course not.
Pretty much this. Life is far too short to waste your time on drama.

whistleridge: Sounds like this guy had a really great sister threesome opportunity, but entirely misplayed his cards. -1
Seriously. You have a spare to fark while the other one is serving as breeding stock.

Q. Sister-in-Law's Hospitality: My brother and sister-in-law invited our family and four other families over for Thanksgiving this weekend. We all brought side dishes, wine, desserts, and drinks so that they only needed to cook the turkey. When the meal was done, my sister-in-law came up to me and asked me to make sure to leave a check before we left. I asked her what the check was for and she said it was for hosting the dinner. She said $100 per couple should cover it. I was floored. The turkey only cost about $30 and everyone else bought at least as much in side dishes and wine. She told me there are a lot of costs that guests just don't see. In order to avoid a scene, I wrote her a check. (I know at least one other family reluctantly paid her as well.) I asked my brother what that was about and he didn't know anything about it. $500 to cook a turkey and host a dinner seems a bit steep to me-what should we do?
Holy shiat that sister-in-law is a biatch.

The_Sponge: Holy shiat that sister-in-law is a biatch.
She should cancel the check, and her brother needs to have a sit-down with the SIL.

I think the joke was about 'cut ties'.

I'd have made quite a show of that. "Gather up, guys. My SIL put a lot of money out on dinner tonight, so let's do some math over here and figure out what we owe."

And then subtracted the value of 1) the food brought by them, and 2) the entertainment of their company, coming to a...carry the 1, slide the Abacus... and yes. The hosting sister owes everyone else $50 apiece.

I'm guessing that was her way of making sure nobody ever came to her house for Thanksgiving again.

My brother is a good guy, but I would never want to go where he'd been. It would feel too dirty.

But you'd still love the same parents. I'm not defending these people's actions, but family is not something so easily dismissed. Just like when you get a divorce, you're never completely out of each other's lives when you have kids. We are all tied to people in life, and some of them are people we don't like or even hate.

But I'd be posting a lot of comments about "sloppy seconds" on dear sis's Facebook while I was figuring it out.
