[quote=Anonymous]NP here and I get the self-sufficiency thing.

But I mostly pack for my kid. OP, they take a sandwich (deli chicken, lettuce on a club roll), a protein bar, nuts, fruit (clementine, berries, grapes, whatever isn't messy), sometimes chips or a sweet, and a protein shake or another drink. Lately they've been swapping the sandwich for a small everything bagel and bacon (we don't have bacon ready every day though, so sometimes it's a plan bagel).

I personally don't mind packing lunch for my kid and I do it a lot. They apprecaite it. That said, my kid is fully self-sufficient in the kitchen and will often pitch in. They take on elaborate meals sometimes, and I know they can shop and cook and clean on their own..especially with a few years to keep improving before college. They also don't balk at all to do 5 hours of yard work or clean toilets or other choes. So if I can make their life easier and do this as a mom thing it's nothing to me and it helps them. It also means if I say "Hey I can't/didn't pack lunch" because I have to leave for work early or I am behind, they have it ready in 3 minutes. Do what works for your family. [/quote]
