Tetchy

Today, my extremely religious father visited for a family dinner. My daughter had just one job: not to set him off on one of his easily-provoked rants. She nonetheless decided to take a photo in the middle of prayer, because she just HAD to Instagram her food. My father went apeshit. FML

Who cares what food she is eating? She should have been spending quality time with your family and not whipped out her phone. Sorry but she deserved it, you didn't. FYL

She does sorta deserve it for not thinking about how doing that could be seen as offensive, however, she sounds like she is probably pretty young, might not have noticed how, and it seems like your father was being pretty unreasonable, flipping out because she did something like that. Also, to people saying "Yeah, because you need to share what you are eating on Instagram", ever think maybe it was a really pretty food and it would have made a nice picture? If it was a special dinner where OPs Dad was coming over, it could have been fancy.

Your daughter deserves it, and so do you OP. Kids shouldn't have their phone at the dinner table. I may sound like an old cronie but when I will have kids, I will not allow them to bring any electronic devices when we are supposed to have family time together. I think it's disrespectful to each other. I live with my fiancé and during meals, phones are away and the TV is off. It's essential to spend real time together and have proper conversations.

But setting people like that off is part of the fun! I've got this massively redneck uncle and a meltdown prone fanatically religious sister who make boring family dinners so much more amusing if I can set them off. Doesn't take much. Some people are only happy in life if they feel persecuted for their beliefs. I aim to please...

All she needed was to be in the picture with the "duck face" giving the peace sign with the caption I love you honey he would love it after all thats the trend for women these days

It's all a matter of perspective. Religious or not, it's family. The least she could have done, regardless of what your father was talking about, was wait a minute or two for him to finish out of respect. Ugggh. This new ages horse shit. I hate this generation. Show her these comments, OP!

Your daughter is a Troll, don't let her at the dinner table from now on. Only you can prevent the feeding of Trolls.

The OP and the daughter both deserved it... If she didn't have her phone at the dinner table, she couldn't have taken a picture.

Both need to grow up - rants are childish - a grown up out of control having a tantrum really and she was disrespectful and could've waited at the very least until after the prayer if not put the phone away altogether. I would not allow her her phone for some time and I would not invite someone prone to ' rants' to my house - father or not.

Granted, we didn't have cell phones growing up, but we weren't allowed to answer the phone during dinner or bring toys to the dinner table. Why is it so common that at dinner, everyone brings their phone? I have 3 adults in this house and when I put dinner on the table, the phones don't come. I don't want people texting and posting while we are trying to eat. Guests even know and respect this rule. It is rude to do to those you are dining with. Besides, this rule helps prevent incidents like this.
