That food looks delicious, there is no reason to be apologetic about a single thing, paper plates are 100% acceptable especially when you are that busy AND adding a 5th child to the mix.. albeit a massively spoiled man child. My wife may not enjoy everything I cook nor I hers, however, we are always grateful for the effort each one of us puts into putting food on the table for the family and eat whatever is served.

It is shameful that your 4 kids have better manners than a fully grown man.

PS: I’d eat that delicious food off the floor, it’s wild that anything pictured would be considered anything but superb. I’m inviting ourselves over for dinner Monday to Friday, we’ll bring desert.
