HELP My dad makes the most descusting sounds when he eats. He is sitting on the couch right now eating spaghetti or something. When he cant fit a bite that he made he SLURPS it in his mouth by breating in quickly like a vacume to suck it in. OMG if you cant fit something in your mouth the way it is, you shouldnt BE THAT BIG!!! Then when he looks at his food when he eats it, and examines it from every angle I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT OMG!!! And when he is finished the LICKS THE BOWL and makes this ANNOYING noise that sounds sorta like a kiss.. i cant describe it so i'll tell you how to make it. So pretend that you are sucking on something in your mouth, just to take all of the air out of it. So it feels like a suction in your mouth, then quickly open it. so its like your breaking the seal. THAT NOISE OMG I HATE IT!!! And i hate it when he licks the bowl!!! I just want to go down stairs and kick him in the face and scream at him to eat properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tell him.. he's probably never had anyone tell him it sounds disgusting. tell him you are embarassed to bring your friends over when he displays horrible eating habits like those you discribed.

He is hungry dear! The poor man probably is not getting enough nutrition.
One way to get him to stop licking the bowl is to serve the food on the floor (no bowl). I specialize in training these poor fellows to eat properly.
!. Get him off the couch. No couch dinners!
2. Take away the bowl and no spaghetti!
3. Give him dry food like crackers or doggy biscuits.
4. Time his eating. No more than 2 minutes per meal.
5. When he is finished, send him outside.

Just out of curiosity- are you Chinese? Was your dad born in China? I read that in China, it's actually polite to slurp your food because it signals that you like it a lot.
Licking the bowl on the other hand, is a different story. Only animals (and small children) lick the bowl when they're done eating.
Does your dad do these things in public as well? Hasn't your mom ever tried talking to him about it?

If he has been doing this long there is not much you can do to change him now. He is probably unaware of his eating habits. If you can tell him without hurting his feelings maybe point it out. But he is your dad so love him for his good qualities and don't sweat the small stuff!!
My dad does it too, and when I tell him he laughs and now I think he just does to pick on me. I love him!!

Thanks for the laugh. No offence.
I suggest considering what it would be like if the disgusting sounds stopped because he wasn't around anymore. It's an excellent way to relax about loved ones' annoying habits, and put them in perspective.
That, and, if you yelled at him for ten minutes, he may be doing it as much as possible just to get your goat, so to speak.
Also, I take it somebody in your family must be a pretty good cook...

get your mom to make more solid foods -slowly moving to more liqidy things, oh and cut the pieces into bite size and hide all the forks so he has to eat one at a time.
try recording the sounds he makes and playing them. he will probably stop. if not, play it softly as he sleeps. he will grow very tired of the noise and find it extreamly annoying when he makes it.
trust me on this

well..i don't think a grown man can change much about himself. especially since no one has ever mentioned the eating problem. I mean your mom married the guy, you might want to ask her if this bothers her. if not then i think your out numbered on this one and the best thing to do is leave the table.

OMG its your dad, just deal with it. I'm sure there are things about you that he do not like. When The good Lord above come and take him you will miss him.

OH MY GOD, YOUR DAD TOO? I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MINE!!!!!
Look, I realized one thing. There is nothing you can do, its his habits, and they are not easy to break.
What i Have been able to do is avoid my dad making the "disgusting sounds" when other people are around. So I am half happy on that one :)

Wow !! Angry person ! You could try discussing your feelings with your father.
When he has finished beating you, and you are locked in your room, you may try and get a control on your moods.
