I'd need to know a few more details before passing judgement.
Is this person a member of the immediate family circle and living in the same house?
Is this person a relative, for example aunt, uncle, sister or brother, an in-law perhaps?
Is it formal everyone sitting round the dining room table scenario?
Or informal kitchen table scenario?
Generally a "please excuse me" would be nice...
