what the hell?!?!

I just remembered this. Last night my mother told me that my aunt wants to a have a Christmas day brunch with "just the adults." Then my mother says to me, "But you are invited too." I proceeded to say, loudly, to my mother, "I am 28 years old. At what point am I considered an adult?" She was just messing with me, but still. This is an issue with my family. At least my extended one. I am still seen as a child. It makes me feel like I have no place or position in the family. I keep telling Chris that once we have a kid we will have a place. But who even knows. I love my family and I don't think they are doing anything on purpose. But it still feels bad.
