Eric: If you want them to be a part of the conversation, start with an invitation. Getty Images

Dear Eric: I have four sons who are all married; some have children. The oldest son has two adult children, one of whom is engaged. When we have a family dinner or celebration and all are here, the oldest son’s wife and her daughter and her daughter’s fiancé always sit at the end of the table together. They talk amongst themselves and rarely join in with the rest of the conversations with everyone else.
