...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.

liz70 · 13/06/2018 12:44

Are you three? Confused

Frenchiemamax · 13/06/2018 12:45

I still wouldn't want to be covered in milk no matter what I was wearing..

liz70 · 13/06/2018 12:46

And there was me thinking that Waynetta Slob was a fictional character. Confused

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

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 13/06/2018 12:48

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

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 13/06/2018 12:48

BendydickCuminsnatch · 13/06/2018 12:49

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!

Tangled59 · 13/06/2018 12:49

@Iwasjustabouttosaythat
I put the Tshirt in the wash after eating!

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.

OakIsBetterTho · 13/06/2018 12:54

Yeah... no. That's disgusting.

liz70 · 13/06/2018 12:55

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

FASH84 · 13/06/2018 12:55

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.

foxpox · 13/06/2018 12:56

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.

KittyVonCatsworth · 13/06/2018 12:58

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 😂

spanishwife · 13/06/2018 13:03

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

amusedbush · 13/06/2018 13:06

I'm hardly the queen but I don't shovel my food in with such abandon that I drop it all over my clothes Confused

PinkHeart5914 · 13/06/2018 13:08

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

Vitalogy · 13/06/2018 13:10

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

Vitalogy · 13/06/2018 13:11

Hold the bowl under your mouth as you eat OP.

I hate cereal and I hate slurpy, noisy eaters

paxillin · 13/06/2018 13:17

I'd have to leave the room I'm afraid. I'm itching to mop up the milk from here.

smithsinarazz · 13/06/2018 13:19

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.
