If there are kids involved, sure they will go play. But if there are
adults
they will have conversations with the adults. And in a family
get-together,
the family does things together, not lay around playing video games. My
children happen to enjoy their families. They both play with their
cousins,
AND talk to their grandparents, aunts and unclesotal hip arthroplasty

Mine too. I maintain that it is not rude for a kid to leave the adults and
go play with the others and if it involves a video game, so be it. The kid
should not be expected to remain with the adults the entire visit, unless
that was what the visit was for.
