Yeah, we have a couple, actually. My mom was always a drama queen--you could count on a meltdown in the middle of dinner because she felt under-appreciated. And maybe she was, but honestly, she brought it on herself. One of my brothers could always be counted on to stir up trouble, so by the time dinner was over, Mom would be in tears and everyone else would be mad at each other. It was completely miserable. Now when I celebrate holidays, I make a point of doing things completely different, and doing just what I WANT to do, and what my family wants. (No big dinner, snack-type grazing, etc.)
For better or worse, now my mom is dead, and my obnoxious brother lives in Germany, so no more dramatic family meals.
