Me: You know, some of my friends can’t believe I still make your lunch every day for school.

Him: I think that’s a bit rough Mum… it hardly even rates as a snack really.

Omg totally! I spend a fortune on food- he’s always at the fridge- 6 foot tall & fit & healthy- literally eats a meal every 2 hours! 😳 Definitely start planning ahead 😘. I’m glad you laughed 😊

I’ve been making my son (now 13) make his lunches for the past year. I told him, “I’ll be damned if I run around trying to get ready, make your breakfast, as well as my own only to have you pester your sister. You obviously have spare time if you can do that…..” LOL
Some days he chooses to be lazy and not make one at all because he’d rather use that time on his electronics.

So true! I can’t believe I still do it… usually it’s leftovers from the night before… there’s just something cute about it I like (plus it’s only fortnightly as the other fortnight he’s at his Dad’s). Only 1 more year & he’ll be done at school forever… so what the hell ❤

Oh believe me, I’d still do it if he weren’t such a jerk to his sister every morning. Haha

All the better you take the time to make his lunch-for the artificial and chemical infested slop served at most public schools barely qualifies as food.

I LOVE making my 17’s lunch. It is such a little thing but there was a while where i wasn’t doing it because he lived with his dad and honestly, it was just heart breaking. Sounds so trivial but it really matters to me.

No, I totally get that: it’s the urge to keep nurturing them isn’t it, & letting them know that you care about their well being 🙏🏼❤
