Would you start this with a child?

Probably going to get flamed but am past caring TBH.

Mindee 2 (non sleeper) doesn't know how to sue a spoon. he'll eat things like bread, toast, biscuit etc with his hands but if I give him a spoon with a bowl of food he jsut screams and then I have to feed him.
Now ,partly this is the parents, they feed him, and admit it's becasue it's easier
the exact words were "well we can get food into him quicker then we able to spend time eating our own food, or we can get it into him quickly and get him for a sleep (am curious how they do this last bit )
Now I don't have a problem feeding him but feel that he should maybe try with a spoon but he gets so distressed and he's a gannet when it comes to food, and ahs to be fed approx every 60-90 mintues during the day.
can I start doing this even if parents ay they are happy as it is at minute?

I'd just drop the spoon thing, give him finger foods, but also other foods to eat with his hands. Life won't exactly end if he eats peas with his fingers and it's better than either screaming or hungary.
