I'm so old I Remember when:

……and, how about these?

Not during family dinners, cause there’s only four of us, but on the rare occasions we had another family over.

When we had a b’day or xmas dinner at my partners parents house, the grandchildren ate in the kitchen. Bc the table in the dining room was complete with 8 adults. The grandchildren could be noisy in the kitchen if they liked to.

Sounds just about right.

And somehow being sent to the ‘kids table’ was a positive for those of us sent there, well for me at least…..if I remember correctly.

My sister's in-laws still abide by the different tables during Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. 3 different rooms 3 different tables. Male, female and kids
