ok i know this is really random and sounds stupid, but whenever my mom eats, she doesn't eat with her mouth closed. this really bothers me because it looks and sounds really disgusting, but none of my other family members seem to notice. how can i tell her, politely, that i think it's disgusting and she should stop (because she does it in public too!)
nextdearabby answered Sunday May 22 2005, 1:05 am: I wouldn't even worry about it, parents are going to be embarassing. You just have to worry about yourself- the only person you have control over. So your mom eats in a gross way, you're very aware of it, thus you will be careful not to eat like that. Our parents teach us by how they act, whether it be positive or negative. Basically just chill out, if you get irritated remember that it's not really a matter of life or death... Just ignore it [ nextdearabby's advice column | Ask nextdearabby A Question ]

xOtWiXi answered Monday March 21 2005, 4:39 pm: Tell her.. "Mom, I'm not sure if you know, but I don't want you to be embarrassed, so I have to tell you. When you chew, sometimes you have your mouth open, and it doesn't look very nice." Hope it helps, I had to talk to a friend about this, and it worked! ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]

SavoringEarth answered Monday February 21 2005, 11:25 pm: My mom does the same thing. The first time I brought it to her attention, I had made breakfast. She started chewing and I could see every bit of what I had just cooked in her mouth, and was about to puke. So I just said "I'm never cooking or washing dishes again if you don't close your mouth while there is food rolling around in it". I didn't get yelled at. Mainly because she knows I think it's disgusting and have a week stomach at times. I mean, you could put it in better terms. [ SavoringEarth's advice column | Ask SavoringEarth A Question ]
CraziForRey619 answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 6:12 pm: Just kindly (KINDLY) tell her that it grosses you out when her food is practically flying out of her mouth. If you are too embarrassed or unsure, just do not look at her when she eats. Besta Luck [ CraziForRey619's advice column | Ask CraziForRey619 A Question ]
Sp0iLeD_SheDeViL answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 1:28 pm: Tell her that you think proper manners are really important,and when she asks what you are talking about just say very nicely "Did you know that you eat with your mouth open" and when she answers just tell her it would make you so happen if she tries to change that.

Karen answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 6:55 pm: You need to talk to your mom and tell her that it disgusts you when she chews with her mouth open. When you are eating, mention to her that you can't eat, since the noise of her chewing distracts you. Just go up to her one day and say; "Hey mom, lately I have been noticing that you have been chewing with your mouth open and it bothers me. Can you please start chewing with your mouth closed?" That's all you have to say to her. Hope I helped :)
