To think DH could just pick up a chicken drum stick and eat it.

[NoComet]

Honestly, is my DH the only one who messes about with a knife and fork and makes a toddler grade fuss about any meat with bones.

Why can't he just pick them up and eat them!

hell not heel - you know what I'm trying to say

Delurked - sadly cake, biscuits, sweets and just about every other foodstuff known to woman doesn't have the same effect

So basically he blames the cook for them not being processed? I do pretty much agree with him, I much prefer the processing to happen in the kitchen with appropriate tools. Mind you, I have no problem eating other appropriate foods with my hands, it's more not waning the hassle of deboning a chicken with a table knife and fork.

My solution - get him on a Butchery course, so then it's his job to process the meat, and you'll never need bones in any of your meals, and that sorts out your Christmas present too...

I can't stand eating anything with my fingers, especially greasy food!!
It also makes me queasy when I watch other people doing it....

People always laugh at me when I tuck into my Delivery Pizza with a knife and fork but I don't care

Where do all these hang ups come from? How did you guys cope with weaning and toddler's messy fingers.

Urgh I'm with your OH, I'd eat it with a knife and fork.

I wouldn't mind, him using a knife and fork if he didn't moan.

it's not as if he doesn't lime doing fiddly things. He'll build and mend electric circuits that need a sodding microscope nd are supposed to be built by robots.

I love a chew on a drumstick,finishing with gnawing on the bone to see if I can get some marrow out.

I would keep serving them up,and let him eat them as he sees fit,whilst insisting that I'd eat mine as I saw fit.

Weaning and toddlers messy fingers are a doddle - mush on a spoon, followed by throwing bits of finger foods at them, then they feed themselves. Quick wipe with a wet flannel, job done. Vast difference between that and being forced to eat things with sinew, skin, fat and cartilage
