Not every meal and only when we have our family dinner but sometimes when he has finished eating he will pick his plate up and lick it clean!! I find this totally gross and have told him but this time i told him he was worse than a dog. My daughter thinks my comments were callous!! AIBU and just let him do this if it makes him happy? Only does it at home!

My exH used to do this and also lick his fingers after eating a packet of crisps.
Ex for a reason!

The fact your kids know not to do it in public after watching you, should tell you something. And it’s not someone anyone does in public, if it was only subjective many people would be licking their plates in public like a dog.

Of course its subjective, that's why so many people do it at home. There's lots of things that are perfectly fine to do at home that you wouldn't do in public, like walk around in your pants, or burp freely after a fizzy drink, or things like that.
