The family dinner.
Miss Skeeter and Stuart's family finally meet.
This is an interesting interaction. Skeeter feels embarrassed by her family.
I know the feeling. When my family first started hanging out with my husbands, I would cringe at some of the off color comment my dad would say. I've always understood or accepted him but that didn't mean my in laws would feel the same.
My father in law loves my family and I am very lucky we all get along well. They have wine and talk for hours when we hang out.
The proper way of being around men or even just the adults in way too much. You practically learned to live a lie on a daily basis.
Although I appreciate the formalities I still prefer how things are now.
I miss the formalities, but I couldn't go back :)
