No, but somehow whenever I try to affirm my right to eat with elbows on the table with my parents, I end up losing. sigh.

Maybe if you were at a 5 star restaurant but i know I put my elbows on the table all the time. But I'm not out to win an etiquette awards either :)

So they say it is wrong, however i eat with my elbow on the table. My father-in law gets angry when that happens and also my husband oh well i tell them to get over it. it is not like we are eating at a fancy restaurant or something we are eating at my table in my home.

Well, if it's just you and your family, and no one else minds, go ahead, but if you're in a nice restaurant, or eating dinner with the president, I would suggest your elbows be a no-show on the table.

I find it impossible to not do so. Where are you supposed to leave the extra arm? Lying like a lump of meat on your lap?

Yes....apparently according to etiquette it's wrong....but I try to slip it in sometimes when no-ones looking. ha ha

ONLY WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE IS SITTING ON THE TABLE.
