...if you're eating cereal on the sofa and dont have any plans to leave the house, you would just shove the spoon into your mouth without any regard for the milk spilling down your front right? Or is it just me?

DP looked at me shocked as he was leaving because my Tshirt was covered in milk, but my point was the Tshirt was dirty anyway. He says hes going to buy me a giant bib for my birthday...

I try to avoid doing so, but if it happens I don’t stress. If I was covered in milk I’d change my top though.

I'm with your DP. If you haven't learnt to eat properly at your age then you're a bit of a worry.

Yuck, no! Milk stinks. Also doesn’t it feel all cold and horrible?

I wouldn’t do that myself, no. If I spilled a drop then I wouldn’t change my top though. My washing pile is big enough already. But ‘covered in milk’ is a few steps too far for me!

How much more effort does it actually take to eat it properly? And why increase the washing?!

I would be turned off H if he ate like that.

Perhaps you should wear wipe clean smocks if you can't eat without slobbering food and drink down your front. What an attractive sight you must make. Hmm okay that's enough wasting time with this nonsense

How do you get milk all over you? Just eating normally you might spill a drop but not enough to be covered unless you are literally shovelling it in. Slow down, breathe, eat your cereal.

Personally I find it hard to go against a lifetime of trying not to spill stuff on myself so no matter how relaxed I am I will try to stay clean. If I did dribble milk I'd not care but change clothes.

I surprise/disgust my husband at how much of a messy eater I can be. He’s banned me from wearing any of his tshirts because of it. I’m not a fast eater, on the contrary (another thing that baffles him is how slow I am)) I just have this knack of dropping and dribbling food down myself. I’m not 3 btw 😂

By that logic you would just piss your pants because they're going in the wash anyway!

I Find as I am an adult I can eat without spilling stuff down my clothing, my toddlers on the other hand sturuggle as you do...

Maybe try eating slower? Nobody is going to take it off you so you don’t need to shovel it in like a farm yard animal

I wouldn't mind the odd droppage but not a wet chest. Annoys me when it goes down my chin actually.

God, no! Makes me feel a bit sick when people eat messily. Unless they're DS, in which case maternal instinct kicks in and I think aaah how cute. But he's only ten months old.
