Is this really rude?

Or did I over-react?

Family member answering a phone call when the meal (which I had cooked from scratch) had just gone on the table.

To try to anticipate any questions: no, the call was not of vital importance; yes she knew the meal was ready; yes, it would have gone cold quite quickly.

This was the final meal of my Christmas visit before heading home where I live alone (so the last time I would be sharing a meal for a while).

It didn't turn into an argument, but I was clearly not happy. Then to top it off the other family member answered the bloody landline!
