[quote=Anonymous]You can fix the reaching across the table. Just comment the next time he does it: "BP, I'm happy to pass the dish over to you so you don't have to reach across the table. All you have to do is ask." Repeat once a meal until he gets it. The hunching over food, I'd leave alone and privately tell my kid that it doesn't look good, right? So, you shouldn't follow his example. The elbows thing, I'd also leave alone... unless you're at Thanksgiving and have to pack more people around your table, then strategically put someone next to them that will politely comment: "Hey BP, you're elbowing me while eating. Please stop."[/quote]
