What a hilariously DCUM answer.[/quote]

Why? Etiquette classes teach you things like basic table manners, waiting until everyone's been served to start eating, not to pig out if everyone else at the table is having a more normal portion size, etc. It also doesn't make OP the bad guy.[/quote]

Ok,
And at many times at parties there is so much food. Enough that everyone can pretty much have whatever portion they desire.  So, if there is a cake table with slices out and everyone has been served, there is no rule you can’t go back for seconds, thirds if it is out and available.  Especially when the host is saying please help yourself [/quote]

dude, have some self respect and don't be a pig. no one needs three slices of cake at a social function. you're a sugar addict then, get help. [/quote]

Dude.  I’m not the one eating..

I’ve witnessed this and nearly every party- the host doesn’t want to take any home and keeps telling people and kids to take more.  Not saying you should but you also can’t tell a kid it was “bad manners” when they are literally told take more[/quote]

Yes - you can absolutely teach a 9 year old that one slice of cake, 1-2 cookies, etc., is reasonable and not to take more. This kid put 10 treats on a plate, my lord. [/quote]

Again, this is an impulsive eating issue, NOT an etiquette issue[/quote]

consistent etiquette rules, from EVERYONE with her, is what helps make good eating habits. team approach is needed. no dad's bring home pies or grandparents offering unlimited cookies or friends homes getting raided of processed snacks. [/quote]
