I don't agree with this.
next week, I am having to put my kids back on packed lunches. The eldest is ok, he will eat them ( but then again....he will eat a scabby donkey ) BUT youngest refusesa to eat the school meals
In winter, I always try to talk them into having school dinners because I like to think they are having something nice and warm for dinner ( and yes...they ALWAYS have breakfast, and are not allowed out of my house until they have done ) But a nice warm dinner, I think, is a must in winter, the only problem is youngest will not eat it, would rather go hungry, and I can't stand the thought of that either. So I want him back on packed lunches next week.
Yes I understand that packed lunches CAN be limiting..... BUT better something in his tummy than NOTHING. He has a good breakfast before school and a good tea when he gets in, not all parents are total Numpties, therefor I suggest people butt out and let us parents get on with raising our children.
It makes me laugh when people go on and on about " oh but it can't be healthy giving them a cold dinner "
Back in the days when people were on rations, do you think they got 4 square meals a day?? all healthy?? all warm?? NO, and Elderly people are living to 100 years old, more and more............. didn't kill them did it??
