[quote=Anonymous]We do the metal bento box (planet lunch) and it's really not that much extra time to clean it or prep it. We run the dishwasher every other day anyway, so we throw it in there when we can. Otherwise it takes literally a minute to wash it, and it just gets done alongside other snack/dinner dishes.

I guess I like it because my child is a creature of habit, and since preschool we have packed a section of fruits, veggies, protein, cracker type thing, and a small sweet - and this is what he expects and consequently what he eats (usually all of it, every day). Can you pack all that in a regular lunch? Sure, but aren't you just packing and then cleaning multiple containers if you do that (at least, that was my experience before we started with the bento - just sent the same stuff in multiple pyrex things).

I do not boast being a perfect parent, but packing him a good looking and good tasting lunch is something that brings me a lot of joy. You do you if that's not your thing. You don't really need to be inspired by pinterest to go this route either. [/quote]
