[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what would happen if you invited him to go first, every time. "Oh George, would you like to get your plate first?" If he says "no," you can follow up with, "then we'll be out of your way in just a moment -- I'll get the kids's food and get them settled first." I'd probably rely a lot on mishearing and replying "I'll be out of your way in a moment" if he pushes the point. If he says "yes," then problem solved. [/quote] This. If you know he likes to go first, let him go first, or start the food at his end of the table, or whatever. If that still doesn't work because he demurs, then asks you to fix him a plate, I'd take DH aside some time and ask him what's up and tell him he needs to be in charge of getting his father food so you can focus on yourself and the kids.[/quote]
