When I visit my boyfriend's parents house, his mother never leaves the kitchen whether she's cooking or not. His father never leaves his chair in front of the big screen television in the living room, one room over from the kitchen. His mother tries to hold a conversation with the father by literally yelling/screaming from room to room to the father, and the father (barely interested) replies by screaming back. I've heard his father say that they shouldn't communicate from different rooms, but the mother continues to do it. It gives me a headache and I find it classless above all. Did Emily Post or anyone ever say anything about doing this? Do you think it shows classlessness?
