Dear Queenie,
My wife gets mad if someone, especially children, starts to eat before she has put all the food on the table.
Queenie, she said she was going to write to you about this, so here it is. What do you say?—Dinner-time Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
I think it is not realistic to expect a hungry person, especially a child, not to eat if there is food right in front of them, except at a formal dinner party. Children should learn proper table manners, but keep it within reason.
