This post describes my sister! She is disrespectful, emotional and always demands her way. People's lives are not an open book for gossip. Elders of the family should be mindful of their comments about appearance. They don't know what eating disorders, medical treatments or conditions, medications and mental health struggles you are going through. I will tell you casserole is nasty. I will tell you I hate your eggplant. I will not ingest food to spare your easily hurt feelings.
My Auntie couldn't even wait until thanksgiving to say "you're gaining weight" I was livid because I have been intermittent fasting for two months and have lost 20 lbs!! My Mama could see the steam rising from my head and she cut in and said "No she actually lost weight"...yeah Mama get ya sister before I snap lol!
My uncle made a comment about my weight as I was getting out of the car to go in the house like two Thanksgiving ago.....I struggle to eat as it is I didn't need that
My grand aunt Lil (God rest her soul) once told me that I looked like a stuffed sausage in my three piece skirt suit back in the late 1970s. I bought this suit and was very proud of myself when I could afford to buy this grown up outfit. I had recently turned eighteen and started working full time. I bought this suit a few months prior to Thanksgiving and was determined to wear it although I knew I gained weight. I felt so embarrassed after my aunt’s comment that I almost didn’t eat Thanksgiving dinner (almost). When I was done eating, I was full and bulging out of that suit but at that point I didn’t care. Elders don’t realize how much their words hurt. After that incident, I didn’t go on a diet, I just go rid of the suit.
I’m bringing my man to thanksgiving for the first time this year. Please pray for me & him. We gon here “when y’all gon have some babies” at least 100x 😢
I learned my lesson years ago when I saw a childhood friend that I hadn’t seen in years. I had the nerve to say “oh you done gained a lot of weight”. He immediately gathered me up by saying “dang you did too!” I couldn’t do nothing but bust out laughing😂😂. I no longer comment on a persons weight. Big or small. RIP Rodney
@@pigalottafattenton5003 😆😆😅 Why did I just picture him talking trash and go from one house to the other. I bet when he came back he probably gave a speech on the right one!!!
@@elenam9435 nope. He just opened it and put it on the counter next to the other and smiled. Everyone one else was talking bout “why she bring that, she know don’t nobody eat that mess, she won’t bring it next time cause she see didn’t nobody eat it…” Her sister put it in a zip lock bag and told her to take it home with her “nobody ate it today, they damn sure ain’t eating it tomorrow.” The turkey was fried that year, but my aunt was well roasted 🤣🤣🤣
My father, one of the purest and most caring individuals on this mortal coil, is an elder who cannot keep his thoughts from spilling out of his mouth. When I have gained weight in the past, he would say, “y’know, it ain’t too bad to carry some extra weight. That way you’d be okay if ya got sick.” That was his way of saying, “you gettin big.” Anyone male, he just told them they were getting fat 😂
Let me tell you, your dad is right though, because I was 20lbs over weight and became sick (have been sick for almost 2 years) and lost 35lbs. That extra weight came in handy! P.S - I can laugh a bit about it because I think I'm finally turn for the better 😊.
Out of the mouth of the same auntie I have heard both, "Yo' hips spreadin'." and "You done got skinny." The only reaction I'm legally allowed to give to either of those remarks is, "Yes, ma'am."
EJ tickles me when she tickles herself 😂. My aunties used to eagerly await the holidays just to throw shade🤦🏾♀️🤣. The way EJ weaves these advertisements into her vids is genius.
Why are the elders so bold and rude at the family gatherings? They say all of the mean things in front of everybody and you are just standing there looking crazy!
I'm working on complimenting people even when a compliment is the LAST thing they deserve. I've been tailgating and throwing ppls food away, sometimes in their face. If we say bring extra napkins, that's your assignment. If cooking ain't your ministry, pray abt it. Amen, and Happy Holidays 🦃
My sister and I would hold full discussions in Spanish about the whole family. One year, we noticed one of the married in aunts listening and then "casually" asking ppl about their lives from what she'd heard. She was inconspicuously messy, and I love it.
Oh my goodness FACTS!! My family just had a loved one pass away. And when i laid eyes on my great aunt, the first thang she said was " you know you put on some weight" lmbo. All i could say is "Yes auntie i know" 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
I have two cousins that I had to quickly get right bec of their comments on my weight. FIRST of all I am first partaker of the weight and I have never asked you “if” I gained weight. SMH
Before you started talking about the elders mentioning a person's weight, I was thinking of writing here how beautiful you look and thinking, "she looks like she's lost weight" (God as my witness). Love you EJ 💝
You know the elders are the first ones to ask, “Are you the girl/ boy that was at the family reunion?” 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Elders have no filter. Me personally, I appreciate the elder drama. 😂🤣
My Father who I love with all my heart, looked at me and said, "how much you weigh baby", when I told him he replied, " if you look at your ankles you would think you weigh 200 lbs." Mine you I inherited his cankles. I miss him so much.
Yes. Take all the pictures!!! My family has so few pictures of family gatherings. We all have cameras on our phones and we still fail to take enough pictures. And for heaven's sake; get in some of those pictures too!!! I don't know about ya'll but I make sure that I make a very weak sangria punch to keep the kin folk from getting too drunk early in the day!!
Yessss, EJ! Thanks. Also, you look so cute/GREAT! *More holiday dinner etiquette: 1 - Leave any negative energy somewhere else! We're not trying to have wonderful food, beverages, and dessert only to suffer from an upset stomach due to unnecessary tension at the event. 2 - Try to keep off the phone for a while!!! Just live in the moment having real conversations filled with laughter, fun games, etc! Make it a point to really enjoy that time together! 3 - Pleeease physically help out with the set up & the clean up for the event if you are not cooking anything at all. If you offer to help with the set up, be prepared to start very early. If you offer to help with the clean up, be prepared to stay late. (Hope that helps! ) Happy Holidays, everyone!!!
My aunt: how did you like my casserole? Me: oh I didn’t have any. My aunt: why not? Me: because it looked nasty. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEATEN US FOR LYING WHEN WE WERE KIDS
Omg that last line need to be first! My family make to go plates before they eat frfr it makes my husband so mad. We never have any left overs literally either have to make Thanksgiving all over again or go make a to go plate and I live here
1000% FACTS!!!! The muzzled "look,look,look", "hey" and eyes that speak volumes (follow my eyes and slight head tilt) is about to work overtime!!! Happy early Thanksgiving EJ and FJ family!!!
🤣🤣🤣 I just love you EJ!! Look the "if you cain't cook DON'T" is crucial. It prevents the "who made this potato salad? naw this ain't Auntie Pam's mac n cheese" discussions. And for bonus points I'll add: Ya'll already know when Uncle Gerald get on the dominoes there's gonna be an argument on who cheated & marked 20 😂
We just got done going through my grandparents things, as they’ve passed in the past two years, and me, my mom, my aunts and uncles were CRYING & LAUGHING looking through all of those pictures. And I got to hear so many funny stories, too. So YES!!! Hug them and take the pictures! We don’t have any reason not to, with phones attached to our hands every where we go these days. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you and yours, EJ!
When mine tell me I’ve gained weight I just look down at all of them because they are all under 5’5 with hips wider than most doorways. “Thank you auntie, now please pass the JELLIED cranberry sauce”
Yes ma’am. I’ve had people who couldn’t wait to tell me bout my weight gain. Like I don’t already know. But is it gonna stop me from enjoying these holiday meals?.. no ma’am 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Facts. Most of my cousins are 30+, 40+ years old and married and the 2nd cousins are 20 something and starting families but I was amazed at how many people some of them dated. Lol.
OMG the ever changing significant other. The eyes start connecting around the room with a eyebrow. Then the cousin with the 411 is walk-in around whispering naw she wasn’t here at mamas funeral.
I’m just here to eat and watch everything around me. I hardly speak except to my parents or that one cousin I like. Sometimes I might sneak off to the kitchen for some alone time and get a few extras without anyone noticing I’m gone. 😂
🤜🏾🤛🏾You are on point with that cranberry sauce. I always pick up a can or 2 of JELLIED just in case somebody do that foolishness😂 Also, this is not the time to try NEW recipes. Master it a couple of times before bringing it to dinner, ijs😏
I really love Christmas too. I went and got more ornaments today. I needed a break for my language study, Japanese, and I saw you had a new video. My family knows when I speak Japanese, I am trying to be good cause I don't swear in other languages. The rule in our family is one to go plate per person so we all can get some of the good stuff to take home. Our number one rule as a family is "No Drama."
My family's get-togethers have never been, are not now, and will never be known as any kind of "safe space." But at least everyone can cook. Might as well eat our feelings while we're there.
The most important rule is to make sure you pick the right person to make the baked macaroni and cheese....Or I'll just stay home and know who made it.
Loved it! BUT my first rule is everyone go wash your hands for 20 seconds…WITH SOAP!! And to also get a negative on your COVID test. From today. We can wait 15 minutes. 😊 You looked so cute and festive!! Love the bow. It’s kinda get me more motivated and festive 🎉
Girl this video is needed. But my homemade cranberry sauce with the berries is requested. When someone says you’ve gained weight, I say well you ain’t looking no smaller. That’s that 🤣 And I agree just discreetly put what it is you don’t like in the trash. Love your look
The weight one is right on, always hearing from family when I gained weight, even when I lost weight I was told I am to skinny and I need to eat more 😡😤
Sitting at the dinner table as a teenager with acne, with Mama and her other ten siblings; every time, “Shug, what is that on your face?”. The only question about it happening was which one of my great aunts would say it this time. Bless their hearts.
@@kathryngant837 THIS! I almost wanted to fight last year when they finally took it out of stores - how we have eighty million types of milk now but y’all can’t keep the nog in stock all year? Smh
Thank you for the cranberry sauce PSA. One year my aunt “made” cranberry sauce with oranges. My mommy (rest her soul) said “go grab those cans of cranberry sauce out of the refrigerator nobody is eating that mess.” 🤣🤣🤣
Jellied cranberry sauce is my favorite. And the gained weight comment......I don't reply. I just go back out the door for awhile (live in the south, warm weather). Hope you enjoy this holiday season. Thanks for sharing.
Well my oldest sister Reneé is not the one. The family don't even like her coming around because she doesn't lie to nobody. If you ask her how the sweet potato pie was and it was nasty, she gone say it. If you tell her she gained weight, she gone roast you til you cry. Before she got married and the aunties would ridicule her for not being married yet (they ridiculed all the girls), she put all their medical conditions on display. Nobody wants my sis at the family functions no more and when she's there the shady family members don't talk to her.😆
Big Sis Don't Play!!! Shout Outs to Her!!! LOL! That's So Ironic How In Black Families, The Notoriously Shady, Rude, Or Disrespectful Ones, Play The Victim When They Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine & THEN Team Up Together to Dislike Somebody They Once Tried. SMH!!! #TEAMRENEE
This is soooooo Awesome. I will be sending this video to ALL my family members, who will be attending our various holiday events 😊😊😊 Girl, you are such a blessing ❤❤❤
U r spot on!😂😂😂 my 87 yr old auntie told me last year it didn’t matter if I made it to her house on thanksgiving bc I look like I haven’t missed many meals n the past year!🤔😫 n she said those boys got that nappy hair from their daddy.😫😂🤔🤔
I messed up last year!! I cooked because I had to work. I opened up that can I saw them whole berries!!!!!! My lawd I picked every single one of them out mad as hell🤣🤣🤣
You forgot one.... When after dinner your sanctimonious family (holier than thou) backdoor wait til your guard is lowered asks, " What church you going to , baby?" Tell them " I'm still looking for a church home. I been going to whichever ones I feel led .... " Then quickly change the subject to the Dallas Cowboys or something political or any other hot button topic really... Be sure to say the hot button change of conversation topic loud enough for excitable other family members who might have an opinion to overhear. Then , when the topic is fully engaged say " I have to go to the rest room" . This is a helpful trick I use very often. For Preparation: Have a few hot button topics ready in your back pocket before you enter the door.
I take the whole cranberry sauce and mix it with mandarin oranges and chopped walnuts. It makes a nice cranberry relish. I will never eat the jelly with the can rings on it again.
The smooth transition into the babble ad was so slick! 👌🏾

I don't understand why the elders are surprised you've gained weight. Grandma, Auntie, I'm built like you. Thou has cursed me with thy genes. 🤷🏿♀️
And they always trying to feed you when you’re “too skinny”. It’s their fault. 😂

I like both kinds of cranberry sauces but I get your point.
Is anyone going to talk about how gorgeous EJ hair is 🥰. Getting so long!!!
Auntie: You've gained weight
Me: You're looking reallly old, are you getting enough rest?
Auntie: 😠
Me: 😁
EJ, you look very pretty today. Your face is beautiful with that hairstyle.
I’m so glad I’m getting my Spanish together. I’ll be needing it this season.
Well my oldest sister Reneé is not the one. The family don't even like her coming around because she doesn't lie to nobody. If you ask her how the sweet potato pie was and it was nasty, she gone say it. If you tell her she gained weight, she gone roast you til you cry. Before she got married and the aunties would ridicule her for not being married yet (they ridiculed all the girls), she put all their medical conditions on display. Nobody wants my sis at the family functions no more and when she's there the shady family members don't talk to her.😆
I'm sorry but I like your sister and could I borrow her😆 .
@@maryjaneg3918 Oh don't be sorry! I stand ten toes down for my big sister😂 I can lease her out for the holidays😂
Big Sis Don't Play!!! Shout Outs to Her!!! LOL! That's So Ironic How In Black Families, The Notoriously Shady, Rude, Or Disrespectful Ones, Play The Victim When They Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine & THEN Team Up Together to Dislike Somebody They Once Tried. SMH!!! #TEAMRENEE
@@OfficialJalenHemphill She don't play and I love her for it.
Happy Thanksgiving From London UK
I was not ready for the first rule!! 😂😂😂 I was thinking it was going to be, don’t ask if I have put on weight/still a single Pringle 😂👏🏾
This is soooooo Awesome. I will be sending this video to ALL my family members, who will be attending our various holiday events 😊😊😊 Girl, you are such a blessing ❤❤❤
U r spot on!😂😂😂 my 87 yr old auntie told me last year it didn’t matter if I made it to her house on thanksgiving bc I look like I haven’t missed many meals n the past year!🤔😫 n she said those boys got that nappy hair from their daddy.😫😂🤔🤔
Pretty mellow for this one EJ! Love your outfit and YOUR hair. Great advice- especially the cranberry sauce!
I love her hair! It’s so pretty and even cuter with her bow 😊
She looks absolutely fabulous lookign
EJ , Thank You Sis 🤩. You are Doing The Most🤣😅😆!!!!
I messed up last year!! I cooked because I had to work. I opened up that can I saw them whole berries!!!!!! My lawd I picked every single one of them out mad as hell🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh you look PRESCIOUS today. Love the hair!!!
Your reason for learning a new language with Babel is PERFECTION! 🤣🤣🤣
Girl I prepping my peaches for my cobbler and damn near knocked the pot off the stove laughing 🤣! Not that I like it more than I love my kids! 🤦🏾♀️
I feel attacked about my choice of cranberry sauce!!!! Wait!!! Are you really learning German?!!! I love that language!!! I'm learning it as well.
Holiday dinners with family make me want to drink. Seriously already dreading it.
Lol! Right that’s why I don’t do it I have not the patience for nonsense. ❤it!
I need a bow like that... big like Texas!!!
You forgot one.... When after dinner your sanctimonious family (holier than thou) backdoor wait til your guard is lowered asks, " What church you going to , baby?" Tell them " I'm still looking for a church home. I been going to whichever ones I feel led .... " Then quickly change the subject to the Dallas Cowboys or something political or any other hot button topic really... Be sure to say the hot button change of conversation topic loud enough for excitable other family members who might have an opinion to overhear. Then , when the topic is fully engaged say " I have to go to the rest room" . This is a helpful trick I use very often. For Preparation: Have a few hot button topics ready in your back pocket before you enter the door.
It's NEVER 2 pm!!!!😂😂😂😂
I take the whole cranberry sauce and mix it with mandarin oranges and chopped walnuts. It makes a nice cranberry relish. I will never eat the jelly with the can rings on it again.
Thank you for that outfit... and for the jellied cranberry sauce address... yes.
