[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't withhold food from my kids and they would not even say that anything is off limits, but it is truly unnecessary to condition your child to eating a sweet after every meal, especially when that meal contains sweets already (fruit roll ups, flavored yogurt, and the like are sweets, not food). They eat sweets sometimes and like them, but would think it was really weird if I started putting cookies in their lunch. Do adults eat cookies with lunch everyday? I am really out of touch.

I put cookies in my kids lunches whenever they ask for them.

Sometimes they eat them, sometimes they don't, just like every other item in their lunchbox.

Since the cookies are not forbidden fruit or something that mom flips out over, they have learned to moderate themselves and their food choices. It is a better way to live than to flip out over a single oreo or some fruit chews.[/quote]

I don't flip out. I just don't pack desserts. I did not even know that eating dessert at lunch was a thing a lot of people did. [/quote]

I also don't pack dessert for lunch.  DS mentioned it once or twice last year (K).  He didn't seem upset.  It was just an observation.  He noted that some kids get cookies or doritos.
I just told him that is what some parents pack but not me.   I don't ban sweets and DS will have a small desert most nights his finishes his dinner but I don't see the need to bring them to school.
The sweetest thing he gets is fruit leather or regular fruit and he seems fine.  That said, so does his friend who get doritos in his lunch.

Different strokes for different folks.

Now who is stealing the lunch?

At DS's school cubbies are in the hallway.  Last year his cubby was on the main school hallway and they were told to keep their lunch bags on top of the cubby rather than inside their backpacks.
I never heard of any food going missing so I am totally intrigued by this mystery. [/quote]
