What do you think if I ask my dad to not dig the food during dinner?
Does his eating style make you uncomfortable?
Yes, I think it's really weird. Whenever he sees something he likes he picks it up and eats it.
Maybe he can't really help it. You can ask him to stop doing that, but if he can't help it, nothing you say will be able to change it.
I guess I shouldn't be so judgemental. He has a lot of good qualities.
That's good to hear you put his quirk in perspective. You don't have to like every single detail of a family member to love them.
