In this solo episode, Kiyah gets real about the five mealtime expectations she holds for her kids—not about what they eat, but how they show up at the table. From chewing with mouths closed (her #1 pet peeve!) to clearing the table when dinner’s done, she breaks down the small habits that teach big lessons in respect, responsibility, and being part of a family. It’s part rant, part reflection, and fully relatable for any parent trying to raise decent humans one meal at a time.
