That's because boys are wild, my girls seem to be more calm.

If you grip your knife properly, cutting is easy regardless of the meat.

Hello, we at my parents eating dinner last night. My sister and her fiance were there too. I looked up and saw my sisters fiance totally cutting his meat wrong. I know I am pregnant and everything bothers me, but I couldn't believe that my sister has never said anything to him about this.

(He holds his fork in the meat like he is stabbing it and cuts with the knife on the inside of the fork.)

This guy isn't 18 either, he's 29! He's dated plenty of other girls and I'm sure ate dinner with them... I can't believe that no one has ever said anything to him about it.




Please parents, teach your kids the right way to cut their meat!

Well explain the correct way to cut your steak up. Please, Just for future reference.

I just can't break my habbit, it works for me so why the H should it matter how i cut it? Its so petty to have to worry about that S. i do agree with the basic manners such as chewing w/your mouth open, putting a napkin on your lap etc etc...but putting an elbow on the table and how you cut just seems rediculous

:agree:

Life is too short to not enjoy yourself. It's better to just live your life and be yourself than worry about what everyone else is thinking about you.

Remember:

Don't sweat the petty things, pet the sweaty things!

I agree as well....I feel that as long as what you are doing is not completely and utterly obnoxious to the point of making people sick, then it is your business how you conduct yourself. I don't buy into all that social etiquette crap. Where did those rules come from anyway? Who established them and why are they right and everyone else wrong? :rolleyes:

When I was a young girl my father had me read and memorize much of the Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette. I have not passed it down to my daughter...lucky kid!
