Petty 63-year-old dad seats daughter's 33-year-old husband at the kid's table at his birthday dinner, she storms out at the belittling gesture: "He'll be fine over there"

Have you graduated from your family's kid's table yet? I'm in my late 20s, and I've been sat with the same 10 cousins my entire life since we were small children. The eldest is already forty, and a handful of them have children of their own. Yet, we still sit at our own table away from the aunts and uncles whenever we have a family reunion. There's more intermingling, though – not just someone's mom coming over to scold one of us for trying to start a food fight.

In our story today, a man in his 30s is sat at the kid's table when there isn't enough room for him at his father-in-law's birthday dinner. However, this seems like a thinly-veiled excuse to humiliate him. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, either. He tells his wife, our protagonist, that he's used to "not being liked" in her family. Maybe this is a moment of realization for our protagonist to finally stand up for her husband.

It's pretty sad that her husband feels that this is normal behavior from her family. I think they need to have a long discussion about respect and how to set boundaries with the family.
