I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. I would be very upset too in that situation.

I can't believe they wanted you to eat in the other room. I had some family members do that once, when I was in 5th grade. It was an uncle I hardly ever see. Him and his wife (now ex-wife) had a main house, guest cottage, and another building with game tables & a hot tub. They apparently planned to eat a gourmet dinner in that building while the kids would eat "beany weenies" in the main house. They expected me to watch the younger ones. I was offended even as a kid. I just don't understand treating kids as outsiders like that.

As far as the mess decorating cookies...OF course it is a mess. That's part of the fun!

I'm glad you had a better time at your dad's house.
