My husband has very bad table manners. His mother taught him well, but he just became lazy over the years as a bachelor. They are not that bad, it is just he sometimes uses his thumb to push food onto his fork from the plate. He doesn't even realise he is doing it. I have asked him not to and to use a knife, but he said it is just plain laziness and thinks it is no big deal. He doesn't use a napkin either. I am mortified if other people have seen this at dinners. Apart from that it offends me and that should be reason enough. What can I say to him to stop it. Apart from this, we were traveling somewhere and had an on the road meal. he bought a pie. I asked him to eat it nicely, but sure enough he spread the sauce all over the top with his finger and then licked them. Those same fingers then touched and moved all kinds of stuff in the car without being washed. He thinks I am being hard on him. Help! he is 48 years old.
Ha ha. Funny. I try not to bribe him that way, but perhaps can give it a go.
