I'm gonna have to side with dreamgirl on this one....I always notice when someone has poor table manners as well (it doesn't drive me crazy or anything, but I certainly notice). I guess it all depends on how you were raised; if your parents weren't particular about it, then you most likely won't be either.

Well, I don't know what to say...

if you have kids then you will be teaching table manners, so eventually if not now, you will have to teach them how to eat correctly. I know we're always going over table manners with my daughter.

the way some of you talk, you want me to let her chew with her mouth open, hold her silverware any old way, and it won't matter... Im sure you'd like to bring a girl home like that to your parents.

When it comes to table manners the only thing I can think of as being offensive is as follows:

chewing with mouth open
farting
burping
bouncing in your seat(I'm always on my kids about that one.)
picking the nose
reaching across someones plate

Does it really matter what fork they use or how they cut there meat......

from my perspective, what i read was that you were looking down on your sister's fiance for his habit of cutting his food differently. now it may not be straight out of emily post, but IMHO, if it doesn't bother you sister, it really shouldn't matter.

no one said anything about not teaching your daughter table manners or telling her to chew with her mouth open.

sana I agree totally with you. if it doesn't bother my sister it shouldn't matter...

it's the commenters here relaying a "who cares" about table manners... I relate that straight to teaching our own kids... my point is you do care about table manners, maybe it's cause I am a mom... my husband and I are always trying to help her.

I am teaching my Son table manners. It is a parent thing and it is not easy to do with boys.
