[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just set the table yourself if it's important to you. This seems like a lot of stress over something that would take you two minutes. Let him cook or clean or do something he actually sees value in.[/quote]

But it takes zero minutes to do it correctly if you are already doing it.  You have to set the fork down somewhere.  Why not put it where it goes?  [/quote]

It can go all together for people who prefer to eat more buffet style. They actually make things like utensil caddies specifically for this. Are you going to tell us that's all wrong? We do almost all our holiday dinners like this. I guess we all just hate each other.[/quote]

No.  I’m not saying that’s wrong.  If there were a buffet and everyone preferred to use a utensil caddy, then the answer would NOT be for OP to take the utensils and do her preferred table setting herself.  That would actually be pretty rude.  The answer would be for her to figure out what your family does and go with it.

I really don’t get what’s so difficult here.

Because husband likes it one way and she likes it another and decided her way is the only way to teach kids manners. Yet she married someone from a very different background. Was she ok with it then? Why is this suddenly an issue?[/quote]
