There is no reaaon fir her to shivel her food in like she fies. People with defirmities on their hands or arms are taught to eat with manners. Not hovering and shoveling. They are just too lazy to teach her. Or maybe they want people to see that she has severe IDD so they feel sorry for them and excuse her other behaviors in public, like honking or rocking.
That is the worst behaviour for me, the grabbing food and shovelling it down, I have watched her when she wants to grab, she looks at them first to see if they are watching and then goes in for the grab , then stuffs it into her mouth before they can retrieve it. I know people say she doesn’t know what she’s doing but I don’t agree, she looks to see if they are watching, that shows me that she knows it’s wrong. Table manners can be taught to toddlers, that’s how they learn and as they say her mental age is toddler, there is no reason why they couldn’t have taught her properly. They think it’s cute if she steals food, it really isn’t, it’s disgusting. They haven’t tried to teach her basic manners at all, goodness if she takes a breath in they say “good job sweet girl “, if she gets in the car, “good job “, everything she does is a good job. They are bloody useless and they are paying the price for their laziness.
