Was I way out of line here? Question about table manners?
Teaching your child table manners is a very good idea. If she learns table manners she will have the ability to eat with table manners. If you do not teach her she will only know how to eat improperly. When we eat at home we can eat anyway we want without others thinking we eat like pigs. Yes she is young and yes she really doesn’t need table manners. But she will have the option to eat with manners if you teach her. Your husband countering your teachings is not healthy for you or your child. He needs to learn to keep his mouth shut in front of your child. Never counter another parent. Real bad form.
