    Everybody moves at a different pace. Your idea of how much time it should take to do a chore, may be slow by another's standards. No two people are alike.

    She sounds like a picky eater, and 50 min. is a long time to get through a bowl of cereal. But, your mother is probably keeping a good eye on her.

    A friend of mine eats so slowly, that at family gatherings, her mother still puts her food in the microwave to heat it up, long after everybody has finished.

    You might just let your mom know that you're concerned to set your mind at ease.
