I love seeing my family and going round to my parents house to catch up with them but DC never seem to involved. When we go for tea they are sat at the kitchen table whilst the adults are in the dinning room. DS age 5 always gets upset about this and wants to come and sit with me, this annoys my family and they complain about him ruining the evening. This could easily be solved by letting them sit in the dinning room, there's certainly enough space for them. They don't enjoy going round as all they do is sit in the kitchen, nothing to really do. We sometimes all go on holiday, we did last year and my mum often encourage them to go off and play somewhere else, they weren't always allowed in the livingroom of the holiday home. I get that they want adult time without kids running around but it would be nice if they were included more often. Only other child in the family is my sister's son who's now a teenager and is often away for school, though this was often the case for him when he was a bit younger. They all have a good relationship with DC, will look after them sometimes and get on well with them, it's just at things like this they would rather DC weren't around
