hazel_fern_2237

4 yr old. her school has a spoon rule in the lunch room which is fine by me. but now at home she says eating dalma with fingers is 'dirty' and wants a spoon for everything. my mother is not taking this well. will she just learn both, or do I let school win this one

    ours is the other way round. daycare lets them use hands, at home we keep giving him a spoon and he keeps handing it back. no idea who's winning

    they keep separate rules for separate places pretty well. my son eats roti happily at daycare and pushes the plate away at ours. we've decided daycare has a different child
