Good points and one more point to make is to realize not to take things for granted. Be grateful for what you have and realize where it comes from. So as BP Totty mentioned those “contest” conversations are inappropriate and take some pride in the “other” children that you only get to see at these gatherings. Have some nachas from the other members of the family and make sure to “compliment freely” but sincerely. Don’t come just to show off your own offspring but be genuinely interested in others. That is the point in getting together.
