It’s sooooo nice to see another mom using paper plates. My oldest harasses me about it but hubby is in charge of dishes and well, I dislike having to wash up a load so I can have plates for dinner. Paper plates are so much easier and faster! Have 4 dozen eggs so will have to make eggs for the family soon too! 

My kids are 1 n 4 I’m not risking having glass on the floor 😳 and the not washing is a bonus 🙌🏼 

Lol Chris. My kids can’t cut with plastic utensils so we use metal forks. My youngest is 4 and when we use normal plates I have to watch her closely. She has a tendency to drop things and she’s independent enough to want to carry her own plate 😭. My older two broke some of my moms dishes that I inherited after she passed and I was very upset. Now they are very careful and if they drop one they grabfkr the plate not caring if the food gets spilled or not as long as they catch the plate! I’ve told them many times that careless actions toward irreplaceable items will be punished (swat or leftovers they dislike) but if they catch the plate they will eat no matter what. Even if I have to give them my food or they get a PB&J which is no hardship to them lol. They usually are goofing around when they break something :/. And at 9&12 they know better. But paper plates are just so convenient most nights!
