[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we had friends over this weekend. We have known them a long time. Our 21 year old son was home this weekend too. He knows this family. So anyway we watched football, drank beer etc. At one point the wife of the couple asked if our son was allowed beer. We said “yes he’s 21, responsible, not driving.” Then we went to eat at our kitchen island-grilled steak and chicken. We were all sitting when my son grabbed his phone to check a text. The wife said “Matt no phones at dinner.” I got angry and said “Not your son. He’s fine.” She then proceeded to tell me the rules of her house with her middle school kids-who were at their grandparents. I said “uh huh” and changed the subject. I don’t get people who think they can just do whatever they want[/quote] She overstepped by correcting him but 1) your getting "angry" was an overreaction, and 2) even if you're an adult it is rude to check your phone at the table, especially if you have company.[/quote]
