Hi! I’m trying to learn photoshop and this family photo, I want to edit out the glass, napkin next to glass, napkin holder, soda can, and place mats. I want the table to just have the checkered table cloth on it. I’ve tried using the lasso tool and using the fill tool, but it just creates this blurry image or regeneration of another object on the screen. I’ve tried the generative tool, also the spot healing brush, remove tool, and the healing brush tool. Could anyone help me?? Ive attached the original with faces blurred, and another with what’s been happening with the lasso tool and fill. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Since you don't want the placemats and don't have much of the tablecloth, here's a second idea:

Use a layer mask to hide the entire table and everything on it (non-destructive editing). Start a little higher to include the tops of the glass and Coke. You'll lose a very small amount of their arms, but not much.

Then replace it with a pattern that looks like a table cloth.
