[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. I just checked back in after a few days. I’m really surprised at this response. Here’s another example. Pizza boxes are on the island, we are using paper plates, super informal. I walk up to the island with my plate. Open the box of the pizza I would like, and before I can put any on my own plate, FIL sticks his arm in with his plate and says, “can you put 2 on my plate?” If he waited just 25 seconds I would have been done and completely out of his way. My answer was “when I’m finished serving myself I will” but I’d like him to just stop doing this altogether. I think it’s obnoxious and rude. I wouldn’t tolerate this from my children at any age.[/quote]

I agree that it is rude.  My parents are 70 and we see them all the time.  They are in great health and, prior to COVID, did tons of exercise and traveling.  For something informal like pizza, I wouldn't serve them first - people would just line up and take.  Now, my in laws, we don't see as often and they are older and more formal people, and much less healthy.  We would likely serve them first.[/quote]
