[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I packed my kids' lunches all the way through their senior years in high school. I also pack my DH's lunch. I do it because I enjoy it, but I understand that by high school kids are certainly able to pack their own lunches. I had no idea people were expecting 3rd graders to pack their own lunches. It's actually kinda sad.[/quote] Sad is right! The little kid wants his parents to make him lunch. Maybe they can make it together but I feel a feeling OP is not that kind of parent. [/quote] I have a feeling a lot of the mothers on this board aren't exactly the nurturing type.[/quote] How is it not nurturing if your children make their own lunches? My children like to cook and dream of being on the TV show Chopped. They even like to make dinner for us once in a while too. They are 7 and 9. I see this as a natural progression from their old play kitchen. Children like to contribute to the family.[/quote]
