[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]FIL burps (and farts) at the table, and picks teeth with pick.[/b] Would totally pull apart bird with hands (and has). [b]Coughs without covering mouth.[/b] No one has ever told him not to do these things. I think that part may annoy me most of all (tell him ffs). But mainly I am annoyed that whole ILs family is like this and when I feel judgy it makes me feel guilty and like a snob, and also like it is my fault that I married into a family that is so socially different from my own and made my life much harder as a consequence. Then I feel both guilty, mad at myself and like a huge snob. And grossed out. I would love to enjoy one holiday where I could eat canapes and have a drink without feeling like a grossed out, self loathing, snobby a******. [/quote]

Why oh why can't old people COVER their mouths?  Why is this a thing with old people?  I am baffled.

Having manners should not make you feel guilty.  There are wealthy, educated people who happen to be all about "decorum" who behave like absolute selfish, socially inept slobs (like they are above it all), and there are poor people who come from literally nothing, but are warm, welcoming, considerate, cultured and well mannered.

In some countries, belching at the table is a compliment to the chef.  The U.S. is not one of those countries. MIL I am talking to you. [/quote]

Any why do they refuse to wash their hands, ever? I hate hearing a flush and the door open, especially before someone cooks for other people.[/quote]
