[quote=Anonymous]I disliked many family dinners. - I hated being forced to eat something. I didn't like lima beans as a five year old, and I don't like them now. Keeping me at a table for hours didn't change that. - I disliked being compared to my siblings. Look at Tim, he ate all of his chili dog, so he gets a treat/to go to grandmas/ gets to pick the tv show. It made me and my siblings resent each other over stupid preferences and differences. - The worst was going to my cousin's house and having to listen to my Uncle spend the whole dinner correcting everyone. "Sit up!" "You're talking too much." "Chew quieter." Family dinners can be fine if they are low pressure dinners, with everyone respecting that even children have preferences, and are in fact children, therefore behave like children. We eat together a few times a week, but I still cringe during dinners where there is a dictator at the table (MIL, above mentioned Uncle, childless sister, etc). [/quote]
