For example she was eating a Nutella sandwich earlier and some of the Nutella got on the table. It was also all over her hands and face. I think a nutella sandwich isn't easy to eat for a three year old without making a bit of a mess.
In general she sometimes drops stuff from her fork onto herself while she's eating, but nothing major.
She also wipes her mouth with her sleeve sometimes, we are trying to remind her to use a napkin, which she does do. But my mum is constantly angry / shaking her head and telling her off it she forgets to use a napkin and uses her sleeve.
Sometimes her hands are dirty and she touches the chairs or whatever and my mum gets so angry with her for that too. We have all leather furniture for this exact reason because I think that kids don't understand and if you didn't wipe their hands, they don't always realise. If her hands are really dirty she often tells me so and wants to go and wash them. So she's not always terrible, but sometimes things get messy.
I'm not sure if I should expect more or my three year old ( just three ) or if my mum is super OTT. I'm trying to think of examples of how she's messy sometimes when she eats, but in general it's just dropping stuff on herself sometimes ( although she does wear a bib ). Sometimes stuff goes on the floor too or on the table.
