Am I Rude?

[boona]

Today I went out for a meal with my mum and sister and my sister invited a friend from church, we were sat next to each other and got on well, we chatted together for pretty much all the meal about all sorts, when we were getting to the end of meal I noticed my sister had a face down to the ground and was being moody, when I got home my mum said it was because I chatted to her friend all through the meal and didn't really talk to her so much, personally it is not something that would have bothered me if it was the other way round, mum said I was rude. What do you think?

Yes......*** rude.

Yes, you should have tried to include everyone in the conversation, especially as it was your sister's friend that you were monopolising.

[tonyav]

So boona, have you got a date with her then ?.

[jno]

over a meal you should probably try to chat to everyone and include everyone in the conversations. I don't think I'd beat myself up about this one though; it's a normal way to meet new friends, after all. Just try to do it a bit differently next time.

tonyav, boona says she's female so we may not be talking intergender relations here.

[boona]

Haha no, we were talking about volunteering in Africa which we have both done and then the death of my husband ..

Well I don't think so. Your sister needs to grow up IMO.

[boona]

What's IMO

[Gavmacp]

I have never kept a stop clock on how long I talked with one person and not the other people.

[-Talbot-]

In my opinion

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think rude necessarily, maybe thoughtless - table talk should be inclusive as a rule.

Had to click on her profile to find that out, jno.

[Psybbo]

IMO in my opinion and no, you were not rude

[jno]

my rates are cheaper than Sherlock Holmes's, tonyav.

[Gavmacp]

She could of been pleased that you got on so well!

[boona]

Thoughtless is probs right..

[Tilly2]

I think it was lovely of you to make the 'outsider' feel so welcome. Your sister is being childish. You were being extremely civil in my opinion.

[boona]

gavmacp that's what I thought, maybe she was jealous...

[Gavmacp]

Sometimes you can't do anything right for doing things wrong!

Got a friend with two kids. One kid has allergies and has been rushed into hospital several times. I have dropped what I was doing and rushed over and helped in what way I can. Her husbands mother died Christmas day again ditto. But when it comes to family gatherings I am never invited as I am not family!
I do rather find it funny!!!
