By skyforbes First time posting. Something happened on Thanksgiving that annoyed me but didn’t bother my wife. We went to my mom and dad’s house this T.G.
We have a good relationship with my mom and dad. We see them often along with my wife’s side (we are fortunate enough that both sides of the family live within 45 minutes of each other with us in the center).
Anyway, this year my mom and dad invited a lot of friends to Thanksgiving. Which is cool. I don’t care.
But what happened is all the friends of theirs ended up eating at the main table (which seats about 12). My wife and I were relegated to an overflow table in another room by ourselves.
So while everyone else is chatting it up, catching up, having conversations with each other we sat alone together (and don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the time with my wife, we talked together and had a good time).
I didn’t say anything about it to my parents at the time but my wife asked me about it when we got home and I confessed to being a little hurt.
She said it wasn’t a big deal (and it really isn’t in the long run) but I think I’m justified in being a bit hurt and annoyed by being left out.
So, what say you all?
Edit: I just want to make it clear, I don’t care about actually sitting at the “main table”. What bothered me was being placed in a separate room alone while everyone else dined together.
I was going to use the result of this to gauge whether I should bring it up and let them know how I really felt about it. I wasn’t sure if it was that big of a deal to other people.
