Okay that is a good point to note. Social dynamics of a family, in captivity.

Could very well compare it to how a single family acts around the dinner table (in a certain room, specific setting, all “bound” to the table or at least the house) — in comparison to say, a large family gathering. You’d have such different social dynamics, and you would sneak off with your cousins to do shenanigans while your dads aren’t watching. Whereas at a family dinner kid would just be gloomy and play with his phone to which his dad would say something negative about phones during dinner.

I don’t know I may have taken the metaphor too far.
