Once your son asks what's wrong you tell him how you feel.
Don't let people treat you like this you are owed respect
What kind of son does what? I don't see the son's involvement. I see two women attempting to include the OP, otherwise THEY would find their own seats and shut her out.
SHE is his mother. The other person involved is his WIFE. Sometimes mothers have to step aside.
I totally disagree with your advice. Why cause a problem with the son, who is, in fact, married to this woman and doesn't need to hear criticism over a non event OR with the daughter-in-law? Once the OP wanders off and finds her own seat she will most probably never again be included.
Of course, the OP could always discuss this with her daughter-in-law, say she feels like she's not included. She could also get into the conversation. I suspect there are other family issues at play here or else this wouldn't be so very important.
