Wanderingchana – GOOD GOING! You are totally right. There is no reason you should have to bend and twist yourself into a pretzel in order to accommodate the potentially childish behavior of ANY adult. Fortunately, your parents showed real class.
And what would someone do if they were making a bris? Make two cuts and two seudas?????? Ridiculous. You handles that well. I am sorry you had to handle that type of situation, though.
