this has always bugged me: A few years ago, I got invited to my aunt and uncle's house for Christmas Dinner, along with the rest of my immediate family. When the time for dinner came, my aunt told me that there wasn't enough room for me at the "Adults" table and I'd have to eat downstairs with the kids, the oldest of whom was 14. I was 23 at the time. I was pissed off, but very calmly said that if that was the case, then I was going to go eat at another relatives' house. That started a whole big fight, my aunt and uncle called me selfish, some of the females were crying, it was a whole big scene.In the end, I stayed, becasue someone made room for me at the table.
What bugged me was that my aunt and uncle had invited me seperatly from my family, then treated me like a kid, even thought they have always been sticklers about adults sitting at one table, kids at another. Was I wrong to react the wayI did? Should I have just sucked it up?
