Table Manners

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Do you think they are important and should be taught to kids?




Chew with your mouth closed.
Keep your smartphone off the table and set to silent or vibrate. Wait to check calls and texts until you are finished with the meal and away from the table.
Hold utensils correctly. Don’t use your fork or spoon like a shovel or stab your food.
Wash up and come to the table clean. Don’t groom or attend to hygiene at the table.
Remember to use your napkin.
Wait until you’re done chewing to sip or swallow a drink.
Pace yourself with fellow diners. Cut only one piece of food at a time.
Avoid slouching and don’t place your elbows on the table while eating
Instead of reaching across the table for something, ask for it to be passed to you.
Bring your best self to the meal. Take part in the dinner conversation.

Surely table manners are just part of parenting.
We have no tech at the table rules, and follow most of the above...we don't pace with each other but always eat at the table and talk. It's my fave time as I don't have to compete with tikTok, Snapchat etc for attention. :laugh:

I guess me shagging on a kitchen table is a no no for most of you .

I don't really care about the stuffy protocols.

But who is attending to hygiene at the dinner table?:umm2:
