I've never been fond of men or women wearing hats at meals. Raising sons, I learned to pick my battles, so I gave up for meals at home (especially grabbing lunch). But insisted, hats off at restaurants (McDonalds didn't count). The younger generation doesn't seem to adhere to the same norms we did, but thats probably our own fault because we didn't force the issues like our parents did. Its a new generation out there - many of us were professional women working outside the home. I'm not making excuses, but the time I was at home with my sons for meals, I rather wanted to cheerfully hear about their day than to scold them for wearing a baseball cap. I'm culpable for this hat-wearing generation.
