Does resting your head on a pillow and eating your food up off the floor away from the dogs warp children in some way?

And eating off the floor is unsanitary.

they use a towel, or a blanket.

remember when people used to go on picnics and eat off a picnic blanket????

I have been a guest at dinners served by friends from India, sitting on the floor, eating from many containers of food all arranged on a a blanket.
One handed, even..no tinsels.

My personal preference is to have a table, for my morning coffee and books.
but I can see the appeal in floor level dinners..certainly makes cleaning up crumbs and spills a lot easier, just scoop up the blanket, shake it outside and wash it.
and aren't babies at floor level for several years?

it's not allowed in restaurants by any health dept. in the country afaik and that says something. The Indian and Moroccan etc places that serve food traditionally use low tables.

Also, eating hunched over makes it's more likely you will get a lot of trapped air in your stomach during the meal. I'm pretty tall and I have that problem sometimes with low counter tops with bar stools. It's weird that she doesn't acknowledge the bad posture one must use to "eat off the floor".

is in no way unsanitary.

These are the same brand of whitey-dread-wearing imbeciles who want to have their babies in the fucking ocean with dolphins as midwives while Coldplay songs echo across the water and a Genuine Mayan Shaman burns a bundle of sage.

someone else's opinions on how to be "the good parent", then maybe you'll always be a failure at it. Decide on something and go with that, and don't worry about what the trendsters say.

There are very important lessons for the child that they will need for life and raising children this way will cause them to miss out things they need to know. How sit at a table and eat a meal. Respect for the property of others. How to conduct yourself when you go to someone else's house. How to sit quietly in chair and not jump around and run around the room. How will they behave when they go to school? I see kids all time that are totally out of control, running around and hollering in restaurants, pulling things off the shelf in stores, leaving them there, in both cases, the children are ignored by the parents. Several years back, I took a night class from a local university, it was held in an exclusive private school. The halls were a mess, wadded paper and empty soda pop cans thrown on the floor, sweater and jackets laying around, paper and books dumped everywhere. There was a cleaning crew, picking up the trash that was thrown in the halls and putting the clothes and books in the lockers. I thought to myself then, now I have seen it all. How could they let the young children leave such messes. All cases, these kids are missing some important life lessons.
