In as much as i hate eating in the same plate with people wouldn't affect me in my own house coz i cn eat wt my kids and wife frm d same plate.
And eating together as kids is old fashioned and i cnt train my child in that manner.

Digriz:

When i was a kid,my siblings and i used to hv a seperate plate,cup and spoon and we all knw our cutleries and we never make use of smones cutlery and that was hw our parents brought us up. We then get used to it that i always finds it difficult eating in the same plate wt anyone and the few times i hv done that unwillingly,i never enjoyed the meal bcus i ate a little and then left.
Nw i hv ths girl that am courting and hoping to settle down wt,she wasn't brought up in the same way as i do. The girls ate together in the same plate while d boys do same,and she likes eating in d same plate wt me whch am trying to get used to.
So my question is ths,since its good for husband and wife to be sharing things in common like eating together,does it apply eating frm the same plate or eating at d same time bt may nt be in d same plate?
Secondly,does eating together as siblings encourage unity among them?
My girl told me that their parents used that formular and adviced them to continue wt it that its d best method to watch over your children and knw d selfish and greedy ones so that u wl start to discipline hm or her in time.
However,i didn't agree wt her on d issue of unity because we are united in our own family wtout that method.

we have a family friend that came to Canada about 14/16yrs ago and well educated, they eat together in the same plate, they serve their meals in a large pyrex

(amala, rice, stew,soup etc) and serve in one plate in batches until they are full, my jaw dropped the on my first visit the way they eat (like it but cant do it). I

think they adopted it when they started dating years back in Naija and never stopped, lol, funny eh? my first child will tell you you re spreading germs(kids of today )

You're a fine one to criticise, and call the OP's girlfriend a village girl. With the disjointed mix you've typed here - text-style writing, poor grammar, poor spacing and punctuation, you're in no position to pull anyone down.

In the public (In public).
A eating habit (An eating habit).

Besides, what's wrong with a village girl? We all originated from villages, regardless of where we were born. It pays to be humble, and not display the crass arrogance you've shown here. It's better to be a village girl, than an illiterate one.

so you're saying you don't want to bond with another human being? your fiance no less?

Hope you're also thinking of getting separate beds while you're at it. . .

eating together as husband and wife aids most times in bonding both and giving no room for malice. it also aids in understanding each other very well. bt when it is to d detriment of one party, eating in different place but same time can be adopted. for the issue of children eating together, it is best encouraged when the are of a certain age because from my observation on bad eating habits, children who grew up eating together has more bad eating habits than those who eat separately because u can study a child more and groom that child in [b]proper table manner [/b]when the child eats from a separate plate. dts my take.

@aribisala0, i believe  u have nothing reasonable to contribute to this topic; why dont u just pretend to be a good-mannered child and read instead of being nasty.

aribisala0:

ask you father to be a good mannered goat or better to jump in front of a very fast trailer.goats do that all the time so hopefully you won't wait for long

Wow, that's harsh.
