[quote=Anonymous]It took my very smart, generally capable DH about 5 years to learn this skill. We usually eat dinner at the coffee table, and I don’t care those nights how the table is set so long as someone puts out all the required elements while I cook. But we host 5-10 more formal meals a year, and DH sets up while I cook. In the early days, he would come to the kitchen time after time to ask me which side the napkins go on, where to put the silverware, etc. It was so maddening that I taught our then four year old how to do it and started telling DH to seek assistance from the preschooler. That shamed him into memorizing the set-up. I find it astonishing that my in-laws didn’t have any of their kids do any chores. This is such a disservice to kids and their future partners. [/quote]
