Yeah I refused to sit at kiddie tables since the age of 10 on.
It's degrading, and stupid.

GGMF!
If that happens, will you post as txRUNNERwoman?
It might be time to change my name. It has been 6 years since I've spent Christmas back home, but going this year and bringing nikeman. We'll see if we get to graduate from the kiddie table. I hope not.

Woo Hoo! First time home with a BF. Hopefully your uncle isn't angry.

Actually he's my fiance, so he's allowed in the photos.

No! You've shattered my world! How can I go on living if I know you're not single?

"When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to seem very grown up."
My family doesn't have big Thanksgivings, so we haven't had a kiddie table for a long time. I'm not sure when we last did, if ever.

I find the "kids table" to be a pretty classless idea. If you don't want my family to dine at your table, don't invite us to dinner at your home. We'll find someplace to eat where our whole family is wanted.
If I invite you to dinner at my home, I am telling you that there is a spot at the table for you. I wouldn't dream of sticking part of your family at another table like they're the service staff.
I show up intoxicated so it doesn't matter were they make me sit.

Ten years older, married, but still at the kiddie table.
Yep, always the kids table for me.

tRg, are there any actual kids at the table now?
I traveled to Kansas last week for a big family gathering (my grandfather's birthday). I'm 43. I sat at the kiddie table. The youngest one of us was 37, I believe :).
(my grandfather turned 100, which explains this to some extent. We ended up with a kiddie table and a kiddie table part 2 for the great-grand kids)

This is a nice thread. I'll add to the time capsule so it can be viewed again in 10 years. ...2017....Kara is still running , Donald Trump President, Price of Gas NY $2.70, TxRUNNERgirl(kids table) , Game of Thrones is on TV.
Well, not anymore ?

No, but that might be the only way out.
Ah..... I wish I had enough family to think about a kiddie table (or a 2nd and 3rd kiddie table). Holidays can be a bummer. I'm in my 40s but my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles are all gone. Siblings live thousands of miles away. We muster 4 people for most holiday dinners and that's it. :-(

Wait until you are labeled 'extended family' and sitting at a neighbors kiddie table before you start to complain.
Kids table gets the good stuff
