After all they've still got to learn to eat with cutlery. However some people are very rigid with it and don't like the use of spoons at all.
Have you spoken to mum about it? I think that would probably be my first port of call tell her what you're finding and ask her how she feels about introducing a spoon etc
Is mum providing food? If not what sort if things are you giving him? Maybe try things that don't require too much effort to begin with if he's upset?
