Most of you are aware that I am short and I have step stools all over my house. My nephews surprised me with a table that looks almost exactly like this one. They were hoping that I would be able to reach the table better and we could simply spin it around. It works lovely for all of them. I have short arms, that match my short legs.
I am not complaining the family loves the table and it is helpful for them. I still have to ask “Will you please pass the “whatever?” They are annoyed by it at every meal. So then I decided that I would simply get my food and put it on the plate before I did the family style thing. So I have become accustomed to eating cold food. (It’s not a bad thing, it’s just different.)
They tried to say, well go put it in the microwave. I am not interested in missing the meal because I have to go and microwave food and carry more items to the table. I have never indicated there is a problem. I have never said my food is cold. When they start to bring it up I simply say “I’m fine.”
I am to the point where I about to say the next one that brings this up is going to get my plateful of food in their lap! I have adapted, leave it be.
I love the way the table looks and I love the way it works for them. That should be good enough.
we have a lazy susan on our table. The twins, when ask spin it, but so fast that everything flies off so we stopped using it.
This reminds me of our table that my sister got when I went abroad. It was sold without my knowledge.
It looks very cool but yes, it can be a struggle. I don’t get why your family would be annoyed at you asking them to pass stuff. I don’t even ask, I often just stare at the food until they realize it’s what I want, and that’s worse. ? I’m not too proud of doing so. ?
Why compromise? I’d want a hot plate of food! Go ahead and microwave your plate of food and bring it to the table…or let someone else do it for you!
