Less steps to eat from a plate that's right before our Zois

As it is now, Jack sits next to the Pizza and when I tell him to take a piece (because I want them to eat together) he gets up, walks around his chair, takes a plate and stands there until I tell him to sit down, then he walks around the chair again, because we can’t access them from both sides (-.-), sits there with the plate in his hand and when I tell him to eat, he gets up again, places the plate (because dumb me forgot to tell him to do that before he sat down) and only then he eats.

I really wish this would be easier and he could just take a plate from a group meal on the table while staying sit. I’m aware there is this ‘serve’ option now, but we are a big household of Zois and when we eat the leftovers that don’t have enough portions left, it’s still a hassle. Even more so that when I click on a second dish to serve, it deletes the already served plates :sob:

It also seems that Zois who want to eat these served meals don’t directly eat from the plates right in front of them. The get up, grab the plate, sit down again and then they eat from the plate in their hands -.-

Yes, mealtime, especially if there are multiple Zois, is always a bit chaotic

And if you add 1-2 young ones (newborns and toddlers) wanting stuff/throwing fits,
Your “eaters” will just get up to take care of the young ones, and forget they where eating.
Sometimes they’ll go to cook another meal or grab one from the fidge.
Chaos ? Oh yeah.

But yeah the “dancing around the table” is annoying when it happens, and is MUCH, much worse with the recent multitasking.
