Stop Smacking !
I'm about to lose my head. Trying to eat dinner. Literally had to be picked up out of bed and I waddled to the dinner table trying to have a civilized meal. SD14 won't stop smacking her food. Do you really need to smack pasta stir fry that loud and slurp every bite. I asked politety twice to please stop smacking and chew with your mouth closed and she does it louder on purpose. I waddled myself back to my room with my plate and water. I've had it up to here. DH is having " a talk" with her. I can stilll hear her smacking from my room. My feet and ankels are swollen and my belly changes shape every few minutes and my bladder feels like its about to burst. I can not deal with her crap tonight.

i am SO gonna use this!!!!! "How can you possibly play those video games you want to play so badly if you can't coordinate chewing with your mouth closed and breathing through your nose. I guess no games for you tonight!"
Instead of telling her to
Instead of telling her to stop smacking her food, tell her that she sounds like a cow chewing its cud and that it is one way to drive the boys away. Well any boy with a future and would spend money on her. When she does it again take HER food away from her and tell her when she can eat like a young adult she can eat with you. Until then she eats on her own like a 4 yr old.

My SS does the same thing! It drives me crazy! I can literally hear him chewing his food with the TV on, BS2 running around and in a different room. Finally I started just taking his food away. If he can't eat it like a person then he certainly doesn't need to be eating with us. He can wait until we're through if he wants to eat like that.

We used to have this problem. BM apparently didn't care about table manners. Actually, from what we heard, she avoided the whole thing by sending her children to eat in another room while she and her DH ate in front of the TV.
When I was a kid, my family at dinner at the dinner table every night, and I was determined that we would do the same. One summer it was especially bad, and after nagging and glaring didn't work, I finally sent her away from the table. For some reason, that really hit her hard. Of course, we didn't have visitation but two or three times a year (we lived 1000 miles away from BM) and SD had/has a huge case of hero worship for both her dad and me.
Apparently that story really impressed BM. See, she sent SD17 to live with DH because she couldn't handle her, and expressed 'concern' that SD17 would be a handful, because literally everything in her house was a battle. The fact that SD actually listened to us, and still does astounded her.

She obviously is doing it to bother you! Brats!
i'm gonna re-word an old poem
i'm gonna re-word an old poem to fit for the smacking problem -
"The food smacking child
And the cud chewing cow
Look quite alike,
But they're different somehow.
What is this difference?
I can see it all now-
It's the intelligent look
On the face of the cow."
my SD does this and i am
my SD does this and i am constantly reminding her to chew with her mouth closed. I snapped one day and took the plate from her after telling her 3 times. I ended up giving it back to her but made her sit in another room until she was done. she didn't like it, but she did eat her next meal quietly.
