[quote=Anonymous]I think airpods are much, much ruder than a book or magazine *because* they're subtle; it's like you want to pretend you're paying attention to these people but actually aren't. Super hypocritical. Personally, I would bring knitting, since it's something I can do that won't interfere with communicating with anyone, or try to help with the cooking or suggest a walk or a game; something to do that does not require a lot of sophisticated communication. Since you have a teen in the same position, you can bring something the two of you like to do together that will not exclude others. But I honestly don't find bringing a book to family gathering to be all that rude, especially if it's 9+ hours long. Phone/devices are fine too, provided you put it down and give your attention to anyone who's near you and speaking a language you understand.[/quote]
