No. I dont follow non-sensical traditions. That's about as stupid as saying you can't wear pants to the dinner table. If you feel disrespected, grow up. People fought for my right to wear a hat when I want. Of course if I was in your hone and you asked me to I would, but I'd bitch about it behind your back on a forum like this.

Why is that considered manners? What’s the basis for it? Like, why isn’t it a requirement that women don’t wear a scarf at the table? Or any other random requirement? I’m not trying to be snarky, I legitimately don’t have any clue why it matters, and why I should continue this meaningless tradition in my home.

Any man should remove his hat at the dinner table. Etiquette people!

Well, then just fart at your table, be free.

That’s not polite because of how it negatively impacts other people. Totally different than a hat that doesn’t smell up the air I’m breathing.

Ya know...now that I think about it, I’d say the same, but I think it’s because usually their hats are some old filthy thing. 🤮😂

A little, but I’ve gotten used to it, if it’s not a formal setting.

Oh, actually brings up a good point. If we are going to a nice restaurant, I will tell the boys to lose the hats, but along with that, I tell them to wear a shirt with a collar, etc, etc. It’s about the look (more formal vs less formal) rather than tradition for me.

I have no idea. I just know it’s tradition with many, but I have no clue why.

Yarmulke sits on your head. It’s a hat. However, the point is we often have our heads covered. Usually. Sometimes it’s a ball cap. Sometimes it’s an applejack

I was raised to not do this, but always thought it was meaningless tradition. I told my boys that some people won’t like it, so they can be tuned into it, but I couldn’t care less if they they do in our home, or any other time around home. My BIL who was in my previous poll thought I was “being disrespected” when my 28 year old son wore a baseball cap at the dinner table when he was over for dinner the other night. Nope...my wife and I just don’t give a rip about that tradition. It’s like randomly telling people they can’t wear some other piece of their outfit at the table!

My boys do take it off when we say grace, or for the flag and national anthem, but those times are tied to a stronger tradition. As far as my own home, and my own table...it doesn’t matter to me.

My thoughts exactly. Glad I'm not alone.

Nope, you’re not alone. And it’s funny, I’m a fairly traditional guy in many ways. I’m the guy who still makes his boys behave, show good manners, and my discipline is considered archaic by many. That all said, I have no good reason to make this request of my boys. I guess some would argue that we aren’t fully teaching good manners if we haven’t taught them this meaningless tradition!
