Re: Serving the Husband

We eat together and there is nothing like the men being served first. Nah.

Re: Serving the Husband

whenever I am in charge of a dawat or reception, I always request ladies to go first for one reason mainly. They have kids with them and kids should be served before anyone and moms can take the food at the same time.

Re: Serving the Husband

I have seen that happen in huge gatherings where space is an issue. But it hasn't happened in years, ever since we started employing the buffet system at home. There is space for everyone that way.

No one pours for anyone at my place, unless it is requested.

Re: Serving the Husband

But the ladies never go first, despite the request, right?

In our house, they always say nahin let the men take, they are quicker. We wanna take aaraam sai :p

Re: Serving the Husband

actually that is right. Once men are out of the way, table belongs to ladies :D

Re: Serving the Husband

Re: Serving the Husband

just because I am in charge and you get the food only after you wash the dishes, there is no need to get jealous. Fuzool aadmi kaheen ka

Re: Serving the Husband

the only reason my mom prefers to have men take their food first at a dawat at our place is cuz if you let the women do it, the way their children rape the dishes .. they leave nothing for the men and the table site is a disaster zone. women cant control their toddlers, let alone help them take food out.. heck, you should put food on ure kids plate... not leave it to them to do as they please

but recently we started to let mothers feed their kids first.. get them out of the way.. and then food is served for both women and men... this way the ladies can enjoy their food as well rather than trying to eat themselves and feeding their kids.
for this we serve food straight from the kitchen and let the kids sit on the floor on a protective sheet.

but otherwise.. my dad dishes out his own food. and we all eat together.

Re: Serving the Husband

not in our abode and not at my folks place either.

Re: Serving the Husband

In our house everyone pours/puts the food on his plate himself because Allah SWT has given all of us hands.

HE has also given us legs, using which we can walk to the kitchen if we need something.

57

Re: Serving the Husband

At home, we all eat together and everyone serves their own food. Because guess what? We each have a fully functioning pair of hands.

At dawats things are a lil different because there normally isn't enough space to feed everyone together. So, the young kids are served dinner first and then everyone else is served afterwards.

Re: Serving the Husband

Why some people are being so defensive about it? Its an old school European culture as well, which still carries. The idea is to serve the head of the family or the oldest member first, its considered good manners and enforces some form of discipline. For most people their husbands are considered head of the family or bread winners so get served first, but in our families the elders get served first, be it the grandads or grandmas, irrespective of the fcat that husbands are around.
