I dunno. I think my mum probably did.. kinda got pissed at me smearing chocolate all over my face.
It defo wasn't my Dad..cos he still smears it all over his face. 
Equally I dunno who taught me to wipe my own arse either..cos if you think about it, nobody really teaches anyone how to do that..

"My mum and extended family, nans aunts!
My mum was very strict, we wasn't allowed to talk at the table!
I often had a fork wrapped across my knuckles  "
I had the same, and I couldn't leave the table without asking to be excused! |

Good topic 
My mum made a big deal of being a 'silver service waitress' - though ironically she was so busy working we never got to eat meals around a table.
With our own children we've been strict in a non anal kind of a way about manners at the table - really ticks me off when other kids get up and wonder about willy nilly during a meal.
But we let them occasionally use the soup spoon for trifle without comment |

My dear old nanna, I now teach my children the same manners that I was taught, and do you know I get funny looks for telling them to take their elbows of the table, strange how things have turned around. |

We definitely taught our children to wipe their arse - I can utterly understand (and hope) that they'll have forgotten having had the lessons though!
As for chocolate on the face I loved when they were babies how messy they'd get sometimes - well for the first couple of times! |

I think it was a combination of my mum and my nan. No elbows on the table, use a knife and fork correctly, and the biggest one was us kids couldn't leave the table until we had eaten all our dinner. I used to get annoyed with my sister because she was (and still is) the slowest eater in the world and I have always been a food vacuum! |

No, we are taught that but you don't usually remember being potty trained. |

Dont specifically remember learning. Just the way things were growing up.
Guess it was a combination of mum, dad, grandparents and nursery.
The dining room table was the first piece of furniture i bought when moving out and into my own place. |

Our home we were encouraged to talk, usually news of day, what was happening in world and government. Where most of my _iews have been formed from  |
