[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot stand it and I’m going to have to add it to screening qualifications. Bad table manners make my hair stand on end!!!![/quote It's not really "bad table manners" if it's common in their home country. It is ok to let them know that it is considered rude in the US -- imagine them at restaurants, job interviews if they come back, etc ... We only host French APs, and it's normal to lick your knife. I don't want my kids to start doing that, so I address it. I also use a lot of positive praise towards my kids during dinner because they're still learning table manners. So OP could try praising her kids for keeping their mouths closed or eating soup quietly. [/quote]
