On certain subjects, my mom tends to think and talk in a covertly racist way because she's dripping in white middle-class privilege, but fails to recognize it. That irritates me the most. I was also sick and had to go to urgent care, but the staff was nice, for which I am thankful. Compared to previous holidays, no one attacked, insulted, gaslighted (gaslit?), or belittled me, so I'm calling it a success!
I've always eaten at the kids' table. It started as I needed to help keep the peace among my kids and evolved into just more upbeat and enjoyable conversation. I choose to be there, but there isn't a kids' table at my parents'.
