Grandchildren’s lack of using cutlery

My GDs ate with their fingers. We bought them really nice child size cutlery, which they use at our house. Don’ t care what they do at their house, but If we eat out at least they know what they are supposed to do.

You must have led a very sheltered life if you have never seen adults unable to use cutlery correctly. Stabbing food with a fork, head as close to the plate of food as possible to shovel pasta in, spearing chunks of meat and eating round it like a lollipop.
The dinner ladies at school were shocked by the increasing number of children who ate with their hands, including wet food like stews, and even some who attempted to lick their plates clean.
Just laziness on the part of the parents, plus the fact that many families eat off trays in front of the television.
As a species we have brains which enable us to design then use implements with our hands which makes life easier.

No doesn't matter to me. Worse things to get annoyed at.

I still use my fingers to eat a lot of food and I’m 75.
I have to admit that mash potato can cause a mess. Only joking about the mash in case someone takes it seriously.
As I always say: don’t sweat the small stuff ?

It isn't something that has ever bothered me in all honesty. As a species we were designed to use our hands. They are only 5 and 7 and I have never known any adult not be able to use cutlery correctly, even my own adult dd can and she has a severe learning disability!

What do their parents say?

Let them handle it.
