Reply To: How much davening do you say from the siddur, how much by heart?

I just felt that since I was making a special effort to daven from a siddur in shule, perhaps I should do the same when making kiddish and benching. My kids had never seen me say kiddish on a regular Friday night from a bencher, which led to the inevitable jokes (Abba, what’s wrong, are you forgetting the words?)
