Thoughts on how to improve the current system

[kandrathe]

It's been this way for years, and every year my wife and I have to negotiate a peace treaty because our house is too small - I guess in that sense it's very much like a true Thanksgiving Feast, lol.

Yes, like a true first Thanksgiving feast. Have you thought about giving them a plague of leptospirosis, and when weakened, conquer them and sell them into slavery in the West Indies.

Now you'd have a bigger house, or five, actually.

But... I feel your pain. My parents divorced during my first year in college. My solution was to ignore them all, and have Thanksgiving with my friends, many of whom were recent immigrants and had no family in the States. By the time I left college, my dad had died, and my mom moved down south. My wife's family moved to California.
