I have 4 peeps..two parents and two kids. One of the kids always goes to sit where there isn't an open plate even though there is one there for them.

Also, where else does everyone sit when you have more than four people?

A large family can't all fit at the table at the same time. I usually have them eat in shifts, so everyone gets to eat. The kids usually finish eating first and run off, leaving a spot for the parents to have a nice meal.
