[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that my FIL can sit on his ass and watch almost everyone else do all the work. He doesn't so much as carry a glass to the sink. And he sits for hours in the middle of the kitchen at my island watching all the work. WTF? He is physically able. Though why should I expect anything else -- it's been like this the whole time I've known him.[/quote]

Do we have the same FIL? Last night, he sat down at dinner and immediately started eating. He was done before I and MIL finished serving everyone and sat down ourselves.[/quote]

My FIL dug right in to his food on Xmas as the rest of the family and guests were going through my buffet line.  He was almost done before the table was full of guests.
He also insists on calling for mid-meal toasts and repeatedly clanks on my antique waterford with a knife to get our attention.

I don't know how long your buffet line was but do you really expect people to sit with hot food in front of them while a dozen or more other people wait in line?  That's cray cray.  It's not a sit down dinner.

And there is nothing wrong with a mid meal toast.[/quote]

Are you serious? Many families pray together before a meal, especially during the holidays. And most buffets when people are visiting are a necessity because of extra visitors, but aren't huge amounts of people like at a wedding. You wait until hostess sits down and takes a bite, or tells you to begin.[/quote]
