Well, we've just had DH's parents over for Sunday lunch, and DD1 asked to be excused about 10 minutes in!
I thought 'bit strange, she was starving not 20 minutes ago..'
Anyway, as soon as they left, she came downstairs with her laptop and said 'Mum, do you know there's a few societys for people who hate noisy eaters?'
She then proceeded on a 30 minute rant about how her grandparents/fathers eating makes her cringe and want to cry!
Was very shocked, she hadn't said anything before this, except for a few 'Dad, eat with your mouth closed!' when we have the (few) family dinners.
DH ended up shouting at her to not be rude to her elders and that they don't eat noisily, she's just nitpicking.
She told him to get some manners and speak without food in his mouth or get out of her face.
I almost laughed, honestly, didn't know what to do. Have you any advise for how to handle this? We have very rare family dinners and it's now escalated into a huge row between DD1 and DH.
Quite understand where she's coming from as you can hear F/MIL chewing from across the room - but think it's not chewing, its the sound of food in the mouth IYSWIM?
Arghhh..What was originally a request for advice has come out as a rant
